SpaceBattles requires registration as well now?

SB seems to be under a DDOS attack. Its an annoyance that the server can't handle until the move to xenforo is made. Mostly because of a little idiot who registered and then through a hissy fit about everyone so hard they deleted his account. He had threatened an attack and seems to be a script kiddy.
Doesn't know what the hell he's getting into, SB has a number of people who really know what they're doing and who would destroy his computer if its true.

Somewhere between never, and when that mythical forum move which has been on the cards for almost 3 years actually happens.
vBulletin and spacebattles are horrifically combination compared to how poorly sized the hardware they have is. vBulletin is also really shit at rendering long threads, and search bots where hitting those long threads frequently which was even worse.

It's a bit more difficult for me, because I requested a banning after getting fed up with the general bullshit that was their political discussion forum and how the mods reacted to all the insane shit that was spouted there.
I logged off my account after requesting the banning so I could continue reading a couple of fics I was following, but that seems foolish in hindsight.

Not really... I was once so disgusted here I had inquired into the possibility of a read only login account to where even if I wanted to I could not make any more posts. This was back when Hawk actually was more of a presence than now... It never came to pass obviously, but that was more due to fact that no one was even sure how to set it up.
What you describe would have been in effect a similar functionality to what I wanted.

Meh...
I was at the time mad, discouraged, and disgusted. Once I realized I was not going to get what I had at time thought I wanted, and had quite a bit of time to get over it... I moved on... I've never forgotten though the reasons I was driven to it though.
I still like the idea of it at least being available... It could also be a forum punishment tool... instead of a temp ban... do this temporarily as a type of gag order.
Not that it matters here, considering there is no real moderation.

A chunk of it is that one of the guys running it used to work for vbulletin, he used the forums as a testing ground and has been planning a shift since leaving there for the new one he's been working on.
Xenforo is also supposed to be able to deal with issues like the brat who pulled a DDOS on the site (What prompted the registered only shift).
And it means that a lot of threads can be combined into one again, though that may be wishful thinking for mod availability.
But searches should come back soon (The twitter feed seems to point to that ATM)
And the major crash issues with threads of any real length
