They are most certainly not. The vodacce have had them by way of the crescents by way of cathay for decades. No need to invent one.

So, does that mean that my character can't try to hawk stuff on this site that she invents?

How many raises do I need for Vyagra?

Alright made the Captcha harder for spammer bots, and required authentication. If this doesn't stop I'll put new users on hold for a while.

Blast them all and let God sort them out. I think you can add a further question like "Are you human?" or "What is this site about?" I know there's random code for that sort of thing, and it helps. Limiting new users would help, but you might want to open it back up as spring nears and Con time approaches.

Yea, thats all way past my pay grade. I'm a Psychologist by trade so you can imagine how much I really know about doing this kind of stuff.
