this site might have worked out organically, in its golden age, and cant be forced

I actually did do that. I had that feature built and implemented over a year ago and it worked very well. The spammers stopped. I have since switched it off to allow more prospective students to sign up.

Thanks a everyone for the ideas and feedback. I look forward to working on the next version of MacInsiders for you all.
