Since the recent splurge of spam-bots signing up to spread the news about various wonderful pharmacies, I'm making the process "email validated". Therefor you'll need to provide a valid email address to sign up in future.

If this doesn't stem the flow of Viagra zombies, then I'll make registration by Admin approval only - in which case you'll have to convince Admin (that's me) that you're here for silliness and not for profit!

This has been a serious moment. :(

Thank you for listening.

bum I fart in your general direction!

On lo, one too smart for JJ's new system!

That looks suspiciously like a bratty post.

It's certainly cheeky. :lol:

Well that didn't bloody work!

danmarino21@lpemail.com

YOU SPAM HEAD!

Access Denied :rant:

lol I didn't have to deny access. I got this bounce back:

so it looks like the email thing is going to help a lot, until the spambots learn to read their mail :lol:

what an intresting sig that bot has.

:whistle:

Well it looks like some Spambots can read mail, so I've turned on admin approval.

There may be some delay in registering, since I'm the only person who can authorise it! Sorry for the inconvenience, but I just had to delete about 15 of the stupid things and it's not fun and it's not silly :(

Have you cleared out the deadwood JJ, I can't see any of the jokers (well other than us) in the member list?

Yep. Took ages!

Misegn: access denied.

I'm afraid anyone with a mail.ru email account will not be approved.

If you are a genuinely silly person who wishes to register but is having difficulty, then please email me directly or send me a PM on another forum if I know you from somewhere else.

Email me at: registrations AT yourwired DOT net

Thank you :D

But if you ban the .ru then none of those russian teens will be able to join.

LOL this is true. Any Russian babes please be emailing me directly :lol:

Preferably without asking me to sign up to your subscription webcam service <_<


Latest signup had this as email address:

googlebot@hotpop.com

It's gotta be a joke! Ah well. Again, mail me if you're a real freak and not just a drug pusher. Sankyou!

I think I'm falling in love with my signature. :wub:

I did have them in all different colours :lol:

Phwoar!!!

It also looks like they may be annoying JV and Fin over at Dennis in the rogues gallery thread.

Google FTW:

http://ejt.no-ip.org/stuff/fairy_bounce/Fairy_Bounce.html

They be the hearties I were thinkin' of!

Jiggle heaven.

:D :D :D

:aha:

OK i've had about 20 of the f*ckin' things text me today. The next b*gger who signs up without requesting a ticket gets a bazooka up their :rant:

what tickets?

The metaphorical tickets you get by asking me for one!

Here's the last two fails in the last hour:

asderferdt@mail.ru

ezvvvvezzlzl@mail.ru

FFS like that's a real friendly email address?!

Nuke the F*ckin' Russians!!!

Shhhhh, they have more than us.

but theres are rusting :rofl:

OK here's an unusual one:

"alizeesite completed their registration on Aug 6 2007, 01:56 AM using billibob@bonbon.net as their email address."

Alizee is a cute French pop-star who appears on my Last.fm top 100; where I also happen to link to this site as I do pretty much everywhere.

The thing is, Billibob could be a genuinely silly person but "Alizeesite" is just screaming Spam <_<

Anyway - as I've said before - anyone who wants to join and doesn't get their registration accepted within 24 hours please just send me an email and I'll sort it out!

:spam: :spam: :spam: :spam: :spam: :spam: :spam: :spam: I think it might be a spammer :spam: :spam: :spam:
I want a silly email addy like billibob@bonbon.net
I might have to set up a silly named site just to get the silly email addy I want

bonbon.net is a free pop3 site, part of the hotpop.com group.

I already have Textme@phreaker.net and a few others from there.

:rofl:

"bobbyorion completed their registration on Aug 6 2007, 10:37 PM using billibob@toughguy.net as their email address."

but obviously not reading this thread because they've not emailed me! If she was that keen to join us you'd think she'd read the threads :lol:

"billibobbi completed their registration on Aug 8 2007, 09:44 AM using billibob@gamebox.net as their email address."

Well I guess it's time to see what Billibob has to say for themselves... that's the third registration attempt, and I guess they've still not read this thread. Lets find out!

*registers them*

What makes you think billibob is a woman? I'm sure Angelina Jolie was married to a guy called billiy bob thornton or something.

Should we be having a welcome thread? It doesn't seem quite right for a random stranger, but then we've never really had one of those before. :lol:

OK I'm thinking of setting an entrance exam for the forum. This is what I've got so far:

Are you're silly enough?

What do you think? I didn't want to make it hard, or easy...

Signature
Elaborate
Procrastination

Unless they were deliberate, and aside from that it is suitably silly. :D

Pie = Procrustination (sic) ;)

Teh others were just bod spelling :lol:

Whats the question ???
I DONT GET IT ARGGGGG :rant:

LOL

OK here's the latest attempt at registering:

User: Alex.Bitterman

OK so that sounds like a good name? Quake player maybe?

email: info@unicorn-shipping.com

OK now that sounds pretty spammy.

A quick Google digs up:

That doesn't sound very silly :unsure:

And guess where they're from?

even the spam bots know the answer

OK I've now locked registration completely.

To register, simply email me & I'll set you up:

registrations AT youRwired DOT net

thank you.

:rofl:

can we keep the survey

Yes we can. I may link to that in my sig elsewhere, but I need to pretty it up with the yourwired header and shiz...
