Until we can work out how to prevent this then I have required that new user registrations require activation by an administrator before they can post. <br /><br />Sorry for the inconvenience. <br /><br />-P Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:44:42 +0000 http://www.deadducksoftware.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=59 New Easier way to fraternize with DDS http://www.deadducksoftware.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=58 Thanks to a newly added feature of rizon, you can now get to the #dds irc channel by just one click.

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 23:50:00 +0000 http://www.deadducksoftware.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=54 Censorship http://www.deadducksoftware.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=53 You may have noticed some posts have been removed around the forum. No, we have not started censoring what people say (ok, we always did that, but its an auto censor, and only censors swear words). DDS believes in free speech for all!<br /><br />anyway, trawling through a forum looking for certain posts to delete is not my idea of fun. i have much better things to do with my time (like annoy Quintus, for example....), so in future, i urge all users to think before they post. <br /><br />That is all. <br /><br /><i><b>-A very tired and cranky PeterTM</b></i> Tue, 14 Aug 2007 23:20:00 +0000 http://www.deadducksoftware.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=53 We&#039;re Back!! http://www.deadducksoftware.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=52 Not new and improved.. just back. It seems the Dead Duck Software domain has been dirtied by filthy, <b>filthy</b> spammers. After receiving a whole heap of "failed delivery" emails from addresses I have never sent email to, I began to get a little worried. So, I decided to close down DDS until I could figure out how to solve the problem (or at least figure out if a simple mailer was to blame.)<br /><br />After a quick chat with the good folks over at <a href="http://www.blackfoot.co.uk/" target=new alt="BlackFoot Hosting">BlackFoot Hosting</a>, it looks like that there isn't a lot I (nor BlackFoot Hosting) can do about it. So if you receive unsolicited junk mail from this domain - I apologise.<br /><br />Also, I would like to declare my personal vendetta against spammers, which I dub "The War on Spam". Not really. I'm too lazy @_@<br /> Fri, 25 May 2007 08:27:12 +0000 http://www.deadducksoftware.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=52 Ut2004 Tonight..... http://www.deadducksoftware.co.uk/modules/news/article.php?storyid=51 ...was cancelled. Due to Gizmo not showing up. At 8pm we decided to have a fun game. With strider dominating, And PeterTM proving that he really is the worst ut2004 player in the universe. <br /><br />Not sure about the state of next weeks game. Im considering a change of the scoring system to individuals instead of teams. <br /><br />Any thoughts.
