This is more for potential members reading this in guest mode. We had someone come in on IRC from Russia saying that he couldn't register because apparently all of russia was banned from registering. Upon further investigation, we found that yahoo and hotmail were also banned from registering, with gmail being the only allowed free service.

As of today, *@*.ru *@*yahoo* and *@*hotmail* emails can now register at DMZX again. If this causes an influx in spam, we'll deal with it, but not using such heavyhanded measures.

Any similarly heavyhanded email filters will also be removed as we find them.

Thanks for your patience, all. :(

And thank you to the persistent user who found our IRC channel (irc.slashnet.org #mzx btw) and reported the issue.

<@Tixus> Anyway, I set the year to 1988 for some reason.
<@Tixus> And set the microwave to run for a minute and 28 seconds.
<@Tixus> But it failed to send me back in time, and I was disappointed.
<Insidious> Tixus accidentally microwaved the 80s
<Insidious> that is my takeaway from this

For the most part, when we switched to stronger security questions the spammer registration dropped to nothing, so I'm not too worried.
