I will be working on a complete forum re do today. Building in better spam protection, all the features everyone has been asking for, and some other things. You may see the site temporarily down today as I do this. I have some new videos and Halls Node coming out real soon so I want to have everything in working order and the bots gone.
Thanks to all for your patience and commitment!

I deleted the entire old site and installed a fresh copy.
Just installed recaptcha. Some bots i think got through before I got it installed and are laying dormant so we might see a few come through. Working on the rest of the add ons now. Post any here you want.

Looking good! Are you going back to the old banner with the two characters on it?
Also very cool to have Recaptcha! I know nothing can eliminate spam, but Recaptcha seems pretty proven to drastically reduce incidents.

no you just need to refresh, not sure why the old characters come up. I deleted everything but the logo works for me now

Oh, ok haha

No idea why it was doing that, but every once in a while when I would turn my computer back on after hibernating if I left IR up in the browser it would show the old banner. I guess it is just cached on my end or something lol. It has been quite a while since we used that one!
