| The Magic Catastrophe forums have been relocated to a safe place.
They are located at a new link which is completely server-side password
protected because of spam attacks. Without a unique username and password
you cant even see the homepage. So. No more spammers. Spammers cant
even get to see the forums, let alone join them.
The forums can be accessed by clicking on the link below:
Click here to go
to forum
You cant get there yet until we give you a username and password.
To existing members.
Do not worry! Please come back in a few days and we will have an
email address for you to state your forum name and then we will
issue you a login to the password protected area. Then its business
as usual! Off you go to the forums without any spam members.
To new members.
So how do you join?
We will set up an email address for you to contact us and request
to become a member of the Magic Catastrophe Community. We will only
have genuine people joining. We will deduce this by profiling you
and getting to know you before we invite you to join us. This will
be through emailing us and stating your case together with answering
some subject specific questions and whatever else we may require.
Why join when you dont know what the forums are like because you
simply can't see them?
We're working on this .
To spammers.
From now on our forum will have no more spam members. Because
the forum is sealed behind a password protected area there can be
no more Google indexing of the forums and this removes most desire
to spam and therefore most spamming problems.
If you fool us into thinking you are wanting to be a genuine member
and we give you a username and password and you make it past this
point, no-one in the forum will click on your spam links or pages
or pay attention to your profile because its all shut off from the
general public and the people who are active in the forum dont care
for spam - so spamming objectives have failed and the community
lives on.
And Finally.
A BIG thank you to our existing community members and a huge thanks
to the forum moderator team, especially Radiant Star who has been
battling the spam more than all of us - your ongoing support has
been greatly appreciated! Once we get up and running again hopefully
we can all do what we want to do, namely build the community, without
spamming problems.
Please hang in there team, we will be up and running again shortly!
Cheers |
