    I had that problem a few years back. I disallowed HTTP registrations.

    I thought about allowing HTTP users to register, and then putting them
    into a separate security group to be manually validated with access to
    post locally only, but it just didn't seem worth it, and I wasn't sure
    if I could segregate HTTP registrations off from regular BBS signups.

    Should be super easy to change the security level for new HTTP users.
    Should also be easy enough to integrate an email validation for both
    telnet and internet users. Working on doing an email and sms validation before being able to create an account, and having users login with
    their registered email address.

    That said, using say 40 for new user security level vs. 50 should be a
    pretty easy edit on ecweb or the older runescape web.

    Honestly it probably would have been easier to create some kind of
    database bridge between SMB and MySQL

    Would love something like that myself... though PostgreSQL (can't stand MySQL).

    vBulletin is just another web interface though, isn't it?

    yeah but it's good and it's not slow. the synchronet web interface is
    slow usually. vbulletin is just better all around.

    I think that's mostly down to Synchronet's access model for data, you
    can largely work around those issues with a good caching proxy in front
    of it. Some refactoring of the UI/API access and some form of caching
    service would be really helpful, but a lot of work.

    Not sure if it's feasible to have the SMB index in memory at the service level, that would probably boost web and nntp access quite a bit. Beyond
    that would be a request for a given

    who was that? i only know of you, me and hax0r from unknownrealm
    running vbulletin with the nntp hack. if you have your shit wide
    open, of course you are going to have spam bots.

    this spamming on the synchronet web interface seems to be a lot more prominent now. like i said, i think someone knows about synchronet
    and created a kiddy script for it.

    Probably... there's a lot of spam that gets into echojs.com, but I try
    to clean it up at least once a day.
