Hi! I'm here to introduce myself and not getting my account deleted, haha.

My name is Francisco (Frank), I'm mexican, 17 years old, and about to turn 18 this month.

I love listening music and playing acoustic guitar, I don't have any video covers, but if I shoot one, I'll post the link in the forum.

That's all you need to know, have a nice day everybody!

I gotta be honest, I highly doubt that most of them are spam accounts. Sure, perhaps a few have slipped under the radar, but I guarantee the vast majority of them are just like the people replying to this thread.
Are you willing to take the chance though? If a good portion of them (1k) are spam bots, 1 a day means fighting spam for 3 more years :-P

I'd much rather do what we are, let people show activity, and delete those who don't. If anyone gets deleted and they come back, they just re-register. And that way, we can know for sure that spam from existing users won't be a problem.

Greetings from Germany!

This is Christian calling, known as "The_Gentleman", too. I've got an education as IT systems electronics specialist and an bachelor of science in computer science. I'm going to add my master of science in computer science in round about a year. I'm "Certified Tester" on foundation level. So I know a little bit about computers and how programs are working... ;)

Programming and/or query languages I can write, debug and understand:

- MIPS Assembler

- C/C++/C#/ASP.net

- Java

- html/php

- MySQL/SQL

- some more

I think, this should be enough for the moment to know about me.

Also highly doubt that any more than 50 are spambots. Most don't lay dormant unless they can't post (i.e. haven't approved their email address). That also means that they won't be approved at any point in the future, unless we were to rid ourselves of the email verification rule.

If my account got purged, I wouldn't come back and re-register.

This will be the same for many. They take purging as an offense. But I know this problem. It's the same on many boards, blogs or pages. But this may be a good idea, because some of these sleeping accounts will remember that they wanted to be up to date about 0A.D.! Perhaps more of them will get active again.

Well, not much to say besides I found you on ModDB, became very interested and have been following you guys ever since!

I eagerly await releases and had you confused with Wolfire games for awhile (not sure how that happened).

But enough about that, and a bit about me: I LOVE to write and read, play/model/kinda paint Warhammer 40,000 Table Top, am fascinated with Hellenistic and Imperial Roman History, and create mods for Bethesda games. (Its easy and fun)

Oh yeah; to the development team: Great Work and like I said earlier, am loving everything I see!
