I got it too. Thought I might have been phished, so I changed my password. I would recommend that to anyone who got the pm.

why? it's just a spambot; has nothing to do with your account.

fork, you have to remember that most people have never seen the old forum hosted there before and may have no idea that i own quandra.org.

I know I didn't.  I just did not log into it in case it was a phisher.

I just went through nate's main site to the forum; so as long as you did not log in, you would have been fine. 

Eh? heh funny lil guy

Good to see you've not gone too crazy nate.

There are 100 additional accounts registered after the closure date.  With most of the new registrations occuring in 2009, one may guess that the spambots are getting smarter.  Were any of DJGrenola's spambot countermeasures made back then and put in place before it closed?

Did you apply that patch to the quandra installation nate? (I could examine the HTML, but I'm lazy.)

it's been so long my memory is hazy but i thought that was just the old forum exactly as it was, untouched. remember that we're on dl now.

this is exactly why i said someone probably wrote a heuristic to get the field names by their human-visibility or else (highly unlikely) they manually set the names for that old forum. i know the captcha shipping with phpbb 3.x has been solved also but that's neither here nor there.

great to see you around again man. yeah, been working hard, trying to stave off the bad stuff that happens when i get bored. currently starting my own business trying to make the big bucks but we'll see. what's been keeping you busy?

man, i've got to let spambots on my shit more often if it brings back old people to catch up.

Yeah, I wonder how widespread this sort of hackery has become on phpBB boards. Unless we've missed something, presumably it has become widespread enough to put some effort into defeating it in a reliable way.

Even the best visual captchas do seem to be vulnerable to various forms of attack now. I would expect that Fourier analysis plus some sort of well-taught learning algorithm would defeat an awful lot of them.

Security via obscurity certainly has its uses.

hell, it's what's working on the sda kb right now.

but i have a few more creative ideas (yes, really) that i'd like to put into practice, and i imagine i will be getting the opportunity soon.

I believe something needs to be fixed, as I just checked and you can still register new accounts there.  I got as far as the "Just wait to be activated" screen, anyway.

right. you have to be activated now, which basically means rather than the old forum getting new spambots, i get annoyed with a bunch of emails saying they've registered and required activation. it's great !

Well, Nate said he had completely disabled registrations, which I took to mean you couldn't even get to the registration screen.
