So guys, about the registrations

[RomanClock]

When will you add a new feature to stop bots?

[GearBoxClock]

Add 1 Flash-based portion.

[TwistClock]

Looking at the grinder, it really sucks.

[patriotclock]

Make a thing where you have to id a clock from a picture and make it change everytime problem solved.

[RomanClock]

Add 1 Flash-based portion.

Thats the plan supposedly

[TwistClock]

this never happened before anyway, why now?

[Slash]

I thought that with the coming of new admins atleast one would be doing admin stuff, I thought wrong.

everyone likes the idea, only piney knows how

[LambdaClock]

everyone likes the idea, only piney knows how

i think someone should learn

[Topcatyo]

Clockcrew.co.uk had I believe the whole registration in Flash format. I imagine that'd help, thought doing just one portion would probably work just as well.

[SnakeClock]

All the bot bans are making the Grinder a lot less fun to read.

*sadness*

[peyoteclock]

Thats the plan supposedly

so why make the thread?

[Losperman]

Gawrsh, fine, I'll try to spice up some of my ban reasons.

[SnakeClock]

Part of the humour is real people getting owned, Losperman. It's a better idea to stop the bots before they even start, leaving room for your next zinger on Isision or something.

[RomanClock]

so why make the thread?

Because its been a while and it hasn't been implemented.

[Slurpee]

We. Are. Fucking. Taking. Care. Of. It.

Has looking at the Grinder somehow replaced making and watching flash movies as the Clock Crew's primary mode of entertainment? Why is it any skin off your back? Why involve yourself in boring administrative bullshit instead of having fun?

How about everybody stops being a huge douchebag and snidely insinuating that we're not doing anything? I'm taking time almost every stupid night banning IP addresses and e-mail addies, and Losp is personally banning all those bots in the Grinder you keep complaining about. vBulletin is a nebulous cloud of bullshit and I don't have ftp access. I'm already doing a great deal more than I ever said I would. I'm taking digital media and computer science classes this semester- that's my own personal time and money, just to get a better grasp on the administrative aspects of this site, which I'm already buried up to my neck in, between the IP and e-mail banning, fiddling with user permissions, and explaining to you jerks every week or so what's going on behind the scenes.

ZombieLincoln contacted Piney and Piney said he'd implement the flash component thing as soon as he can, and Leek and Sage are both discussing updating the vBulletin software (for the newer security.) For the time being we're doing everything we can to weather out the storm and I'd appreciate if you eased up off our backs about it. What is the sense in complaining that we're banning bots? What the fuck? This site would be a fucking avalanche of robots if we weren't banning them. What do you expect?

Whining like a big gay baby about the people who are helping you doesn't make them help you harder, and this is the second or possibly third time I've had to address your complaints instead of doing something fun or useful. So how about everybody stops conspiring to riot or whatever the fuck it is you think you're doing and makes some flash.

[DigitalLemonClock]

i had a forum once

after I deserted I came back a year later only to find it had become a habitat for a society of bots

it was seriously freaky seeing them just spew gibberish infinitely at eachother

[Thor]

somebody summarize slurpees wall of text

[WrenchClock]

Do a flash-based section of clock pictures randomly picked out by the actionscript slowly spireling around in a circle, and you have to name them
