[Scummvm-devel] We need to upgrade our forums

[D G Turner]

Eugene,
  This was in effect as an interim solution / experiment and I agree
  that it has had no effect, which is interesting.

  Therefore it appears that the bots have hacked the phpBB2 textual
  confirmation modification as it is doubtful that they were modified
  or programmed with the new passphrase, and this renders any current
  question pointless as they are bypassing it.

  I have thus reverted this back to a basic question as I can't remove
  the modification anyway without shell level access.
Thanks,
David Turner
