Hey all.
The 5 post thing is a trial really, and it kind of fills an OCD thing - I have graphs that show me the forum growth and when the post graph doesn't match the user graph it bugs me a bit :P
That being said though, not all mods require registration to download (though granted the vehicle models do). It's up to the modder's discretion, they can tick a box when they upload the mod whether or not to require registration. This wasn't something I was originally going to do, but it was something I had to implement to get Turbo Lag onboard with his great physics mods.
I decided to have the restrictions placed upon TDUPE itself so that people who have downloaded it can easily get support, though I might take them off on the next release.
Eh, there are anti-spam measures in place. I don't have email activation set since when I first switched from shared hosting to a server, PHP's sendmail() didn't work, although that should be fixed now.
The current level of spam could also be attributed to the fact I am the only person actively moderating and I'm on
Hey, can I please have a list of email services I have accumulated over the last 3 years ? I have about 10 so far, which is somewhat small.
Cheers. Increased CPU/RAM doesn't bother me at all, since I continue to upgrade servers without issue. If they are registering and downloading straight away it kind of annoys me and I see it as a waste of database space to have one extra user but no extra posts. If they only post 5 times and then never again, at least the community gains something.
PM me with both your wifes and your account usernames. I'm dealing with this for another user, not sure if it's you though.
Cheers.
