Is this related to the hack?

Seems to be, yes. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=308728)

Hi bbit,

They probably just disabled the registration to keep all the spammers and bots out, and scammers.

Keep in mind that you will find people on here who are fear of spammers, and scammers.

Maybe that's why.

Hmmm.... strange stuff.

When are they going to allow new registration?

for how long ?
or this is gonna be forever  :-\

You got it figured out... no one new is ever allowed to register again!

/sarcasm

Shouldn't be long, they take it down to fix something since October 10.

It's related to the hack. It's got to be.

Oh my god, that's demographical suicide. The only thing that will save us is indiscriminate inbreeding.

Ladies. I am ready to fire when you are.  8)

No problemo, I'm selling accounts.  ;)

I'm guessing a lot of people want their usernames which are unique to them. Not ones they have to pick from a list. i'm assuming the registration would be high priority because more users = more money from advertisements and a more active user base. But, I'm assuming it's going to take a long time for the staff to fix these issues. (According to theymos post about fixing problems)

but its very good now must have some changes and its right time for this as we have some very bad days behind us now going in right way slowly but going to win race against these shit hackers

Taking longer then expected, was down since October 10 to fix something...

No, if it is related to hack it would be down on 7 October, which is after all the hacking. But it was down only few days ago which make it very weird.

It is related, but not directly.

we have to manage this its requirement of time and after this attack its very important to fix all bugs and weaknesses for the good of this forum 

Any idea how much longer this will take? I'm not asking for a specific date obviously, but for some sort of an estimation, like... a week? A month? Several months?

Cheers.

Haha, no body knows, at least until they fix the anti hack system....

may be its take some time but its better then worst problems 

I too am hoping all these fake registrations get fixed.  You go through the list and there are so many 0 post accounts its not funny!

Maybe all 0 post accounts should get deleted if there are no posts within a week,

Then for every post an account has it get delayed delition by 2 weeks.

at the worst people have to sign up again.

Or maybe pay a $10 fee to prevent trimming of your account.

Just a thought :)

It's a good idea. Those posts which have little to none posts are not needed in the forum anyway.

New Forum Registration is disabled because fake accounts where created then registration date changed so they could claim one the ripples give aways.
