Due to heavy registration spam attacks on the Princess Chatter board new registrations have been temporarily disabled.

Why would anyone spam attack us?  We don't bother anybody

The main spammer assault began in the last few months and has sharply increased over the last week or so.  The spammers have figured out how to automate the registration process forcing Princess Chatter to go to moderator approval on each application request.  I'd guess the board is now running around 100 fake registrations requests every day, even with maximum built in software registration security stops in place.  I doubt the spammers care about the content of this board.  Unfortunately the designers of simple machines forum have not added an automatic registration lookup with www.stopforumspam.com  In time I'll come up with ways to slow them down but for now they'll have to find another target.

They are people that have nothing better to do than cause problems so that they can brag about it.

Yes we are harmless folk.  Umm, sabotage perhaps ?

After leaving registrations off for a while I turned it back on and got 40 spam registrations in one day so it is turned off again.  If you want to register send a private email to princesscruiser@cox.net and tell me why you love Princess cruising.
