Yup still there.

Just verified this Ofnuts/Rod. Cool. For the curious, below's the link to the tut; since it heavily involves GIMP too for the actually isolation, the tut might be of interest to folk here too.

Lyle, those brushes are also available on deviantArt, which is a little more reliable.

Thanks; I originally got them from GIMPTalk in the day and haven't updated my links. Will do so now.

I got mine from there too Lyle, I remember when Silvertayl first made them. They are very nice.

Anyone knows if the moderators are going to chime in and act against the russian spammers that make 90% of the traffic these days?

sad to say, I do not even go to GT for weeks at a time. It's too often down and not a whole lot of new tutorials and such are on there.

@ofnuts
For starters it might help to actually ask this on GT rather than here ...?

Anyway - not sure why the spam gates suddenly opened - it's been quiet for a long time. Something seems to have changed in the install somewhere. Rest assured the mods are working very hard to remove spam, you don't see half of it.

I asked over there too:

A little off subject, but the Registry more the periodically gets hit with spam too, but at least it's quickly resolved over there. So far GIMPChat's been relatively untouched and I hope it stays that way.

i removed some russian spammer yesterday but they always pop out again with different nicks
i suppose they found a way to handle automatically the catcha but may be just a guess

A lack of spam is generally attributable to the diligence of the site's moderators. If you get rid of it quickly then you won't become much of a target. If a spam message gets left up for more than 24 hours then it will become a permanent part of Google's and Yahoo's cache (this is what the spammers hope for) and there will be a surge of spamming for several weeks afterward.

You can usually ban a range of IP addresses...

Besides that Gimp Chat has its own unique type of Captcha.
You have to actually answer questions and those questions change frequently.
Spam here decreased quite a bit after utilizing the new Captcha setup.

SaulGoode is correct though.The quicker you get rid of it the better off you are because of the search engines.

Argh; not again. I even finally started posting there some again some. Maybe it's me; I tend to draw bad luck.

I haven't even been over to gimptalk for months...since the last time it went down!
