I might try asking in the FB group. Not sure if anyone from dbb is in that group.
East coast always be slow
@CDN_Merlin you appear to still be active on descentbb. Are you one of the mods or able to contact the owner? The registration page isn't working and I am unable to create an account and my old Primus account appears to be gone.

Registered a test account using chrome, the activation email ended up in my spam box but otherwise everything worked fine. Make sure he answers the captcha question and checks his spam box for the activation email.
Perhaps this is his account?

Tell him to try "Demigod Primus" instead of just "Primus".

Hey Krom,
Since you were able to successfully create an account, I had the thought that the problem might be that I was using a * in my password and some pw systems do not accept those characters. So I changed my pw to not include any non-alpha numerical characters and everything worked fine. And I am Demigod Primus but I have no idea what the pw is or what email it was registered too.
Thanks for the quick response!

At least it allows up to 100 characters, I hate being told "your password is too long".

The bug here, if you wanted to address it, is that the error message reported is stating I failed the captcha phrase, when I didn't. Another question is on what am I supposed to type for the question Type this sentence in all caps: then one line below is the phrase that shows up on every captcha question stating This is captcha system to stop bots with nothing directly to the right of the :. Is the phrase actually the captcha phrase or is it something else?
When a user uses a special character for a PW, maybe just report special characters are not supported versus saying you failed the captcha check?
Thanks again!
