The forum was flooded with spam on May 30 and 31. On June 1 we implemented counter spam measures in the registration process. The result is truly amazing. From what I (Husse) can see as admin this stopped about 50+ spambots from registering every day!<\/p>\n

As always – if you find something I\u2019ve missed in the newsletter please tell me – you can post a comment.<\/p>\n

Due to the apparent success of Gloria and subsequent growth in the number of posts in the forum I find it difficult to do everything in time.<\/p>\n

That is\u00a0 why this newsletter is so late<\/p>\n

Enjoy life<\/p>\n
