The Fucking Captcha

The captcha to log in to this board is way too hard. Is this something that's set in degrees of hardness, because if so it needs to be dialed down!

It's seriously ridiculous.

Not sure why I got logged out, or why I was marked as "trying to incorrectly access my account too many times" (hacker bots?), but it took me 4 tries to get the captcha to log in this morning.

I'm sorry, but the spambot problem was pretty rough. I can try to make it easier. can't you guys just remain logged in?

I normally do, but it seems like the board hiccuped last night and logged me out. I shouldn't have needed to fill out the captcha anyway, since I didn't incorrectly try to log in at all, so it seems like something went down on the internets last night. Spambot gang fight would be my guess. My log in was caught in the crossfire.

last night I couldnt log in so I(hunter) made a new account.

alright, I changed the number of login attempts before requiring a captcha from 3 to 6. I don't know how you guys failed to login the first three times anyway but this should help. I made the captchas a lot easier too.

hopefully this doesn't open the spambot floodgates.

I didn't fail any log in attempts, that's part of the problem.

Yeah, the exact same thing happened to me. Board logged me out without my permission, and then when I tried to log back in the captcha came up automatically, saying I had failed to log in 3 times. Not sure whats up with that, to be honest.

I found out the problem!

There were too many bats flying around in the VIHC backend wiring.

I had to be all

FLY OUT OF HERE, I'M TRYING TO RUN A BOARD HERE

I don't think they'll trouble us anymore

EDIT: also, thanks for taking care of that dude.
