hey, i just thought of an improvement to the board,

I don't know if youve noticed but there seem to be a lot of users joining the board that have just been created by computers to advertise sites.

There is a way to stop them (i know that phpBB allows it) with an image of distoted writing that the new user must type when logging for the first time, and i think that implementing this whould help remove atomatically created users.

It would not stop real people doing it though, but it would help.

I would PM but i don't know who actually runs the board. (admin doesn't seem to do much so I asume that no one uses the account much)

While it would be good to implement this, I don't think its going to happen.

why not? It's built in to phpbb (at least it is in the newest version but i think its in this one) all you hav to do is check a box from what ive heard.

You are correct, it is already a feature in this version. I thought it was not. It has been enabled.
