Please would all newly registered users send an e-mail to

rcgothic at hotmail.com

in order to have your account activated. This is in order to distinguish the genuine accounts from the 5000 adbot accounts we get per genuine user.

Thank you for your co-operation.

This is important...I will not activate ANY account unless it has the proper personal email that follows. Otherwise, I will assume it is a bot and delete it.

Extreme, but unless there's a foolproof way of stopping bot accounts, this is how it has to be.

F'kin A. Had a helluva time ridding my system of the downloader trojan one of those links gave me. And I've got a GREAT antivirus suite.

If we're going to ban users for posting objectionable material, we shouldn't have to endure bots doing it as well.

we hardly endure the bots doing it, and worse than getting banned, they get deleted.

Problem is that the bots have been accelerating. We're getting somewhere in the region of 40 per day tring to register, and we just can't delete them by hand anymore.

Yeah, we really are annoyed by the bots. If you have any accurate info on who's giving us those bots, please, do contact us.
