Last week we were having the same problem discussed here:
http://clevelandnightlife.net/viewtopic.php?t=7629

I dumped the sessions twice, so you may have had to reauthenticate with the form.

The problem keeps happening so I did the following:
- updgraded phpbb from from .21 to .22
- added a fix to the sessions that deletes the last 50 oldest sessions
- added another fix that limits users to 5 sessions per ip address.

This seemed to do the trick without me having to empty anything. If you work in an office, you might get logged off frequently.

These fixes will allow new users to register as they should.

Any issues, let me know. The upgrade in version fixes were all minor, if I missed a script I need to know about any errors. General browsing appears normal.

If you were having problems today - it was because I was doing some new ant-spam modifications. I also deleted several hundred user accounts that were never activated. I will be doing some more modifications (related to spamming) this morning, so expect some intermittent bugs.

I will look into improving post control after I get these other things taken care of.

As usual, if you notice anything REALLY wrong let me.

That new anti-spam registration mod I installed is awesome - haven't had on bot register in the last week. It prevented one new user from registering, however their problems were related to not using case sensitive responses. I disabled that, since bots aren't typing anything.

Interesting enough, we average 10 bots a day trying to sign up :/
