Every few weeks, I purge any accounts without any posts because 99% of them are spam bots who failed to post a link - this means that if you have registered and have never posted before, you are likely to have your account deleted!

A simple way to ensure your account is never purged is to make a post in the forum once you have registered. It would be too much hassle to read through every spam bot name looking for people we know to be legit users - so post when you join!

If you have been effected by these practices, I apologize in advance - Being sure to write a post after joining pretty much guarantees that your account credentials will never be unnecessarily purged.

Now we're using a proper captcha we can keep out bots.

But human spammers are just as big a problem.

I just now deleted 20 or so bots. 30 at about noon. 50+ less than a day before that

No way they are all human, Syn said he will do a custom one when he gets creds for the new home.

Hey!

I'm Mark01 from gtaforums, I've already came here a few times before but I never realized what Grit really was since now, I think it was a very big mistake from my part cause this project is quite awesome and unique, I hope that in return I'll make something good for it.

Brian, I think I've seen you on gtaf

Glad to see you here now as well, take time to enter the IRC, it's easy from the browser on the main site, or you can use your own client. Welcome =)

Wanted to say hey, I too am from GTAF and I really like the Idea of an open source GTA Style Engine... mainly because I was working on a GTA Styled game and it turned into bollocks rather recently...

anyway glad to be here

Nice, welcome to the site guys, have you found the IRC chat? Sorry dirkk0

Every once in a while the ghost accounts get purged indeed. Now you're immune though =)

Cool to meet you ss4, we are definitely seeking hands in every aspect of development to join us in making this a reality as an easy to pick up engine for open world streaming =)

I'm not a bot, but was hoping to post some links

Brian · **Joined:** Fri Mar 26, 2010 10:06 am **Posts:** 352

What kind of links, Harley? Links pertaining to the Grit Game Engine, game development, gaming, 3d modeling, programming? if so or similar, go for it :up:

If it's about game engine, I am mad. lol.
