Tähkäpää Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Upon trying to register on the forums here I kept meeting with a page that said:'Hourly registration attempts exceeded,press your back button or try something else'No matter what I did. If I tried to register on this computer, or another or anything. It didn't matter that I changed my I.P. address or browser. I kept getting this message. I tried again an hour later, 3 hours later, and a whole day later.I also tried registering using facebook, to which I got the same error on facebooks page.Then I tried registering again 2 days later and I got 'Your email address is already taken'I was like what the..? So I went to recover my account and it turns out that the facebook registration half worked.So I changed my password, but I STILL got the error.Now I am back 3 hours later again and finally I am able to log on..Honestly guys remove this weird thing.. I almost went off to another forum just because I couldn't register to this one. I couldn't even post as a guest and ask for help or anything. I was this close to giving up...

rong Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 I must say you did well to keep trying for that long, if this is normal then we stand no chance as I would have given up after the second try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I think it's related to your username. The board does not like it. Scrap that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crollo Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I had to wait 5 days before I could even register also due to this error, then when I finally got through registration I had to activate my account using the link.Which, 'Hourly registration attempts exceeded,press your back button or try something else'Cost me about 4 hours to finally be able to click it and finally got through. Seriously, remove this crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Appologies for the issues experianced recently. I shall look into the issue with a view to adjusting any applicable settings if set incorrectly. In the meantime, both Tähkäpää and Crollo have been granted a 3 month free subscription to the "Premium Member" package for their troubles.
