new users activation problems

[ForumAdmin]

Something is happened to our mail server and i stopped receiving the activation mail, that means all the recent users haven't got an activation and a notification about it. I've activated all the users below manually. You may enter your password now and it should let you in. If anything goes wrong, mail me to sarafina(dog)pisem(dot)net. I'll try to fix the mail server asap but the activation is temporary disabled, though it leaves the forum vulnerable to spammers attack, it is the only choice i have.

May one post commentations here?
By the way, the most "new" members just never write any post and are immidiately inactive, maybe destroying those accounts soon?

There are excactly 203 members who haven't ever posted anything...

[ForumAdmin]

yes, i'm going to make some clean up here soon. I will delete everyone who've been registered for more than 3 months and have posted nothing yet.

[Mieko]

Good idea!
The only thing:

If there should be users who have been active in the past, and have gone inactive for a time (like me - but we can't know this) -> Let them stay! Maybe they come back...?

I mean those users who already have posted "much"

I wish I had known about this, I could have done something about it.

Glad you took care of it, Saffy. Thank you.

Good idea, Saffy

Small addition to above-
to improve security - change algorythm for generation of antispam image, format of activation e-mail.
prune only users,who have not visited forum for a long time. Ask them first via email for a reason of their inactivity.

This has to deal with the system of the messageboard. I'm not sure what other anti-spam systems are compatible with this messageboard format.
