Kholdstare Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 just curious - does this project still need mixers? and if so -whats the timeline for wips due etc?
prophetik music Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 do muzak, show it to fishy. even if you don't get in, it's still worth the experience. there isn't a timeline right now. everyone's seriously slacking off.
Kholdstare Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 heh. slacking off? sounds like my kind of project.
Pavos Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Not everyone has in it him to be a professional slacker
anosou Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Not everyone has in it him to be a professional slacker heheheheheheheh..
Fishy Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 oh dear... yeah the free tracks are on the front page, hit us with a wip or some existing work if you want in.
Kholdstare Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 if my workload slows i may just do that - thanks for the info!
FM Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Anyone on board yet for the Haunted Merry-go-round? If not, I'll take it.
Fishy Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 We have an audition for it at the moment, but we're not convinced by it, so feel free to hit us up with a wip when you can or post something on the forum. Let me know when you've signed up to the forum as I have to activate it. Would it be orchestral like your ocremix?
FM Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 It could be, I haven't really settled on anything yet.
Fratto Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 I've got an update after I figure out what the hell is wrong with my FTP.
Fishy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 Slight forum issue has occured. Does anyone like... know where they are? My filehouse is still working fine so its not like escariots whole thing has gone down.
The Coop Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 I'm currently taking a break from work, sitting in my chair with some water, posting in this thread. Where you at?
Fishy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 Apparently we had too many spambots, so some dude shut us down until we stop them signing up, which is fair enough i guess. I'm currently taking a break from work, sitting in my chair with some water, posting in this thread.Where you at? Coops made a funnies :3.
Escariot Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 It's amazing... The last days, maybe two weeks... There has been NO activity on the forums... My web host disabled the subdomain because it's sending out a couple hundred emails per day... And 7 minutes after he disables it, Fishy pops in the IRC channel with "Escariot?"
Fishy Posted April 29, 2008 Author Posted April 29, 2008 Despite the inactivity, I do at the very least check the forum every day just in case someone has updated, it does happen occasionally.
The Coop Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 So spambots were trying to take over the forums as it were? Bummer. Although, it's kind of funny timing. I just started working on trying to finish up my old remix again a couple nights ago
prophetik music Posted April 29, 2008 Posted April 29, 2008 the best way to kill the bots is to set the username registration filters to filter everything, so no one can register. if someone needs to get on, then just disable the filters and make the name FOR them. that's what we did with the pkmn project.

I gotsta wait for my host guy to get back to enable the website, and I'll do that...
Dafydd Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 I don't really understand. Spambots registered on the forum? When I signed up, I needed to be granted access manually by the forum admin. Did the spambots bypass that somehow?
Fishy Posted April 30, 2008 Author Posted April 30, 2008 They still signed up. I get about 5/10 emails a day asking me to authorize random accounts. That what the guy was getting pissed off at.
Dafydd Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 5/10? Escariot said hundreds. How do you stop the spambots anyway? Put up a password for accessing the signup page? I guess you could, in addition to authorization, could force whoever signs up to click an activation link in a confirmation e-mail, but then the server would be sending e-mails all over the place anyway. One way would be to stop the server from sending e-mails to people until they're authorized, and to have control panel for activating accounts. Rather than an e-mail sent to the administrator every time someone signs up, the admin could log in once every so often and check if any non-random people signed up and need authorization. Or, the admin could create the accounts. Each of these options require a little bit of programming though... I wonder how OCR does it. This place must be a very popular target for bots of all kinds.
Rozovian Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 You're also having spambot problems? I found 15 accounts awaiting authorization this morning. Sucks to run a project when that's where the time goes. How are they getting past the CAPTCHA? Well, at least we don't get temporarily disabled.
Escariot Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 Well, there are spambots out there that are made to bypass phpbb2's default captcha, since it's just a grid kind of thing. And these forums are the ones that get the most publicity because the link is posted everywhere. And yes, Fishy is low-balling, but remember, it sends 4 emails for every account. One to me, one to Fishy, one to Audix, one to Pockets. In addition to the emails that I get that say "Undelivered Mail", the mail count easily reach 100 on a slow day.
