looks like they have become a victim of their own popularity, seems the site has been stopped by their host for excessive bandwidth use.< |

Same answer as the other times this has been asked (search and you'll find a number of other posters asking the same question): It is most likely possible, but no one has put it together yet. My work schedule is horrible, and I have a few other side projects that have kept me from working on stuff like this, so either write it and share, or see if someone else will put it together.< |

Hi all, new to the forum so be kind ;-)
I was wondering if there was a way of using the api @ http://www.stopforumspam.com/apis
to do an automatic check on someone attempting to register for my snitz forum and if so how?
I already use the following script:
if Request.Form("Email") = "" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must give an e-mail address</li>"
end if
if (Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@gmailinator.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@dodgeit.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@spamgourmet.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@spamhole.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@jetable.org") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@bumpymail.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@mytrashmail.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@gmx.com") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@mymail-in.net") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@mail.ru") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@gmx.us") > 0) or _
(Instr(lcase(Request.Form("Email")), "@u-yep.com") > 0) then
Err_Msg = "<li>Registration with an e-mail address from that domain is not possible!</li>" & Err_Msg
end if
But as you can imagine, the list might get pretty full soon ;-)
My forum has been running for about a year now, but in the last month I have denied around 60 attempted registrations.

that's good to know, but if it is going to happen again it makes there API service a tad pointless if you can't rely on it being there, oh well, will just have to remove the auto check from the .net version of the forum< |

I hadn't thought of that, but I guess it is a possibility< |

now that is ironic. I almost wonder if the spammers hadn't set up some bot to run the snot out of their API.< |
