[quote author=victor link=topic=2117.msg7321#msg7321 date=1173610507] Also, being a programmer myself, I think it would be just a matter of time before someone will write a script which would enable a bot to register, even with those annoying "type in the letters you see in this picture" entry box.

They are already able to bypass the capthca mods, if you need any additional mods, i'll help out.

Sy278,
we will need your expertise pretty soon I fear, because even though No-URL-by-Guest is still holding, I fear that they are growing smarter by the day and there is nothing we can do other build thicker defenses. It reminds me of the medieval times, when the walls of the castle would be growing stronger and thicker, only to be defeated by the next great equalizer - gunpowder.
I am reading some interesting things about tar pits this days. Some sites instead of blocking the spamming bots, actually accept them and just make them send information at a speed of snail. A very interesting concept if you ask me.
I wonder if we can use the collective power of computing to actually take spamming powers of the net. DoS is a start, but I think there is something better out there: instead of going for IP addresses, go for the site, because this is how they make money. (do they REALLY make money or do we just have every idiot on the planet try to become a millionaire once?)

Too weird; I visited the Tower of London with my son a few weeks back and it had a perfect defence; one entrance, which was completely enclosed, narrow, had gaps in the ceiling and a portcullis gate at either end. When caught in the middle, tar and all manner of nasty stuff could be dropped on an enemy that had no choice but to use that entrance.
In English, that means "Registered Users" access only ... not sure how to get the tar and flaming oil into the equation though... ::)
victor:
Flaming Oil?
Tar? ::)
Sound like a pig BBQ!!! ;D
Never been to London yet, but planning to go soon and visit a friend of mine. Tower London sounds like an interesting place to visit. It is my understanding that Crown Jewels are there, but only the royals can go in and see them.
Everyone who went to London tells me it is extremely expensive and everybody, and I do mean everybody, complains about the food. Is it really THAT bad?
