Captchas

I am really, really sick of spam bots.

The Hab.la forum has been getting tons of spam, so last night I had to put a really simple captcha-type thing on the signup page. I hate messing with these things, so I tried to make it as simple as possible for actual people to sign up. I hope this does not cause anyone too much pain.

A "freeze" is a breakdance technique that involves halting all body motion.

OK, phase 2 of the Hab.la beta officially begins .. right .. about .... now.

Here's the scoop:

Hab.la is open to new accounts for a limited time-- you don't need an invitation code any more. We want to get a bunch of new users to test everything in more real-world conditions, so go ahead and join the party.
We've frozen Hab.la's features for the time being. This means we have hopefully also frozen Hab.la's bugs, so everything should break slightly less often than it has been. (Emphasis on "should.")
We will naturally fix any critical bugs we find, and of course we're working on new features as well-- they just won't show up on the site for a bit.

So go ahead, make an account, tell your friends, and have a blast. And if you do come across any bugs or difficulties, the forum is a great place to complain about them.
