in short:
the forum is now, and forevermore, invite-only.
email me if you'd like to post.
love, droqen


i knew this day would come - who knew it would come so soon?
the other day an unknown person signed up: "Dustinsak"
i thought, how interesting, i wonder how they found their way here.
today, two more: "Randallboums", and "JeremyVef".

pause.

these don't look quite right.
i had a bad feeling, i checked them out. their emails all have the same domain:
@cloudcourier.xyz

ah.

then i dug a bit more and it became much more obvious:

these three profiles also had this hilariously obvious spam signature! links with the text "drugs drugs dark web"

i knew this day would come, but i didn't know it would be so soon, and i also didn't expect it to be so obvious, so i'm at least grateful for that.

when this happened i thought i would create my own tiny storefront where buying something of mine would come also with a little signup invitation to the forum.

i still think that's a cute idea, but it's not set up, and i want free signups besides. anyway it says this at the top already but if you're dying to get in, great, i have human verification at the gates (are you a real person genuinely interested in having conversations?) and that's it, that's the extent of their keeping,
