It's been quite a while since oldunreal had an overhaul, but we are moving to another server which require some updates and changes. The biggest change is the migration of our old reliable YaBB forum to phpBB. This system expects you to login with your username and old password known from YaBB.
If you experience any problems there is also the usual "password forgotten" function. Don't forget to clear your browser cache!

Spambots

Post by Smirftsch »

Due to the recent Spambot "attacks" I had to restrict a lot of permissions. I do not want OU to become a spam sender and being blacklisted or only to rise the impression that this page or our community is abandoned and a place for such things.
So if you got recently an E-Mail from these forums or still get some, let me know, there might be old registrations yet which are still able to abuse the forums for such purpose.
I apologize for that incident.

Please notify me if there are any problems.

I don't really get e-mail notification but i got this pm from this person Lolitasden which was obviously either taken by a spambot or was a spambot to begin with.

It seems yo have died down since you made the change, I have not seen big waves of spam for a few days now (unless someone deleted them before I came). Good work. thumbsup

yes, I didn't see any reason to keep this topic, it was done by a bot which registered before the changes.
