Hi Someguy

The security key is there so that we don't get a flooded with registrations from hackers running bots who register to send spam, cause mischief etc.

We get daily hack attempts, hundreds of virus emails. We will look into a way to make it easier but for now it has to stay.

Regards

Couple of points.

1. The security key thing is damn annoying! I can understand wanting to keep spammers, etc. away but your key is so difficult to read that I suspect many users will also just give up! It usually takes me two tries before I get a key which I can read well enough to use. Keep the security key in, but please make it easier to read!

2. Could you please have the forum posts ordered in reverse cronological order, as it was previously? ie, most recent post at the top.

3. A suggestion; what about having a raffle, as AdultWork and a few other sites do? say, R50 gets you a ticket, winner gets 2 hours (or a night) with the girl

When is the seach function on the forum going to be active again? Ct24 has a point. The security key thing is very annoying and unclear at times.

Ct24, esa has allready got a raffle thing going on the sms with the girl of the week.

Cheers

Hi Garry and CT24

We've changed the security key to be much more readable.

Unfortunately we cannot drop it completely. The reason for this is: it is very easy to write a completely automated program to do the following:

Log in with username aaaaaaa, password aaaaaa
Log in with username aaaaaaa, password aaaaab
Log in with username aaaaaaa, password aaaaac
Log in with username aaaaaaa, password aaaaad
etc etc
Log in with username aaaaaaa, password zzzzzz

And then it just keeps going and going until they have tried every single username and password combination, a through to z, 1 to 9. The worst part is that someone doesn't even need any programming skills, as these tools can be immediately downloaded from the internet (http://>www.securiteam.com/tools/2YUQ1QAQNY.html>)

As you can imagine, it literally takes billions and billions of retries to finally get a password, but this doesn't deter hackers (or even newbie script kiddies). Keep in mind that the average income household in the US has access to fast unlimited broadband access. They will just let one of their computers sit in the background, eating up server bandwidth for weeks until they finally get that gold member password. Their motive: nothing more than bragging to their friends 'that they managed to hack an adult site'.

So we put in the security key, and made it in such a way that only humans can read it, and not automated scripts. The advantage to you is that the site will always be fast as 'script kiddies' won't try to run their scripts against the server. With the security key in place their scripts are basically useless.

We do apologise for any inconvenience this might cause, but when we reprogrammed this site again, we decided that we are going to implement a system for each and every problem we've had in the past. It is at the end of the day important for us to give each visitor fast access. Nothing is more irratating than sitting and waiting for slow websites.

We hope this clears things up a bit, and we hope that the new security key is a bit easier to use.

Regards,

J

hey esa support / esa development

i have realised that since u have changed this site with gold membership, there are not that many posts and threads coming through as before. i used to get info here all the time about the talent out there and use it to my advantage and am sure alot of other blokes as well. but maybe the website is taking a slow death because of the new look and las it takes to login now and we dont see the new posts.

i just thought i'll throw this in.
