The next major version of the forum software requires signing in with the e-mail address associated with your forum account rather than a user name or a display name. Reach out via direct message if you have questions such as "what e-mail address do I use?".

We had an incident this morning of accounts being successfully created, validated, then used to post 50ish garbage posts about airlines. Those accounts have been marked as spammers and IP addressed blocked. The captcha mechanism for the forum has been changed and hopefully won't make your lives more miserable. What will be miserable is that we have re-enabled moderation of all posts. As a result, your posts will not be immediately available for others to read. Those of us caring for the site are hobbyists will real jobs so there could be a delay in approving posts of a day or more but we expect it will be much less. Hopefully we'll be able to go back to the free…

Please take the poll at http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=17152 and respond in more depth if you have the inclination. Thank you!

It's been a year since we launched HarpGamer, and I for one have been very happy with the experience. Many thanks to my fellow site administrators, and to all of you whom have supported and participated in the effort.

Permissions to the Downloads area have been fixed for Brains and the HUD4 group. My apologies if you were not able to see large chunks of the downloads until now!

We're very sorry if anyone ran into the site the last 10 hours when I was away and the site home page was hijacked. I'll be doing more forensic work later in the day but all of the related passwords have been changed so if it was a brute force password attack the perpetrators should be slowed down.
