[Ann] Spam attack

Postby CintaNotes Developer » Thu Jul 14, 2011 11:11 am

As some of you may have noticed, the forum has been under spam attack. This attack came from spambots registered as users while the captcha here was not based on CintaNotes-specific QnA.
Because of this I had to delete all user accounts which didn't post any messages on the forum, since such accounts could also be ticking time-bombs.
Some of the real people may have been affected by this. If so, please accept my apologies for this inconvenience and create your account anew.

Thanks!
Alex

I guess we need some new versions to continue the serious discussion and keep passion of moderators, and spams will just be left behind real active threads.
I thought you have left this project dead, in fact...

Nope, the development is ongoing, albeit slowly because of my day job workload(

Yep, although some of them seem to be moving in a geologic time continuum... ;)
