New registrations disabled?

Hi team,
I was pointing a work colleague to Breammaster and he pointed out that he couldn't figure out how to register.

I had a quick look and it looks like the rego has been turned off?

I went here - http://www.breammaster.com/forum/register.php

And got a message "Sorry, registration has been disabled by the administrator."

Any help please?

Thanks

Registration has been disabled for some time and was causing the major issues we had a while back, it seemed that while the registrations were open we were having spam bots bombarding the registration page relentlessly causing the site to crash and chewing up all of our bandwidth.

How and why? I have no idea.

The site appears to be a lot more stable (not that our hosts will admit anything was wrong from their end) so I will try and open registartions again and see how we go.

If we get bombarded again I will be shutting it down and anyone wanting to register can do what everyone else has been doing and send am e mail to webmaster @ breammaster . com (close the spaces)

Ahh. OK. Sorry Ian. Wasn't aware that there was an alternative way to organise rego.

Bloody spam bots ruining everything.

Thanks for the reply.

All good!

The barrage has already started, I have no idea how a spam bot can get through the double captcha? I presume they bypass it somehow.

Inbox 30 new registrations this morning, 1 that is maybe legit...
