Forum admins were being interrupted multiple times every single day, to clear out spam. Some of it was pretty graphic. That opens us up to legal issues. The forum app version is current, and the spammers still get past the protections.
Options are:
1. Find and migrate to a new forum app.
2. Post the notice and allow manual registrations. (We did this.)
Option 1 would be best, but that takes time, with no guarantee the result won't be worse.
Option 2 took seconds to implement, and does not restrict anyone from being able to post. They just need to request an account if they don't already have one.
I am not aware of anyone moving forward on Option 1. But maybe someone is? If not, and someone else wants to do that research, and get Community consensus on the change, that would be great.
