I have removed new user moderation but strengthened the application process to weed out the bots and spammers. It seems to be working for the moment. Let's see how long it takes for a determined maggot to wriggle its way into the barrow.

Good deal. To the Fire with them!

You may have noticed a couple of dirty orclings that slipped through because of a hole I left in the hedge, but I've patched it. Let's see if it holds.

Even the blasting fire of Orthanc is of no use with watchful men to defend the keep.

But let's hope there won't be much need of defending.
