I'm currently trying to work on some anti-spam bot problems. I locked down registration for a few days until I had more time to straighten it out. It was getting very annoying. I'd come home from work and see dozens of posts about Cialis and penis pills all over the place. Who are these losers anyway?

I added some EQ-related questions and I'm working on implementing a non-standard phpbb captcha. Hopefully that will solve the problem because I would like to keep these forums open and I don't have all the time in the world to sit here and battle Russian neckbeards all day.

Opened it back up and now there are EQ-related trivia questions to get forum access. The questions aren't too difficult and they're all possible to google. I'll see how that goes. I read that it works well against spam bots. I just finished up all of the animation updates, by the way. Feel free to check those out. They're not perfect, but they're definitely a lot better now.

Cool! Glad you like. I put a lot of work into them. There's a new blind animation for flash powder too.
