Cleaning Out the Forums


Spammers are never good, even if the drugs they’re selling sound curious or you find the Cyrillic alphabet fascinating. 

Our forum was hit with spam bots early this year, and after many months of manual booting and deleting, we had to do something more drastic. To clean things up, we deleted all members with zero posts and set higher restrictions on becoming a member. Hopefully, changing the URL will help prevent any of the spammers (who got our address from who-knows-where) from finding us again. We’ll all just have to be careful about posting links to the forum.

Hopefully, in the future we’ll have an all-new forum with better security and more useful functions (still having trouble posting pics and things on this one). We’re amping up the living campaign and working on the first two supplements now, but we understand the importance of having a forum where players can get together and discuss the games, offer feedback, and organize their gaming. Please bear with us as we get the overhead in place for our little indie effort. Everyone involved in Anthropos Games has full-time jobs, and sometimes we can’t always afford the state-of-the-art tech we’d really like (such as vBulletin).
