Oh, that stinks! I'm glad you were able to get back in.
Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?
There are so many fascinating ants right where you live!
I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that aren't in your area.

Just saw this one. As the guy who put it in place, it's much more difficult to reprogram a bot to follow such an instruction or to say replace the middle or third or fourth digit.
So far I haven't seen many or any new spam bot accounts and they have even dug up some old accounts with weak passwords. xD

You could have also reached out to the AC team to reach out to me and ask for assistance. I'm happy to help real people get their access back. It might take a bit longer, but they let me know if there are users having issues. For example new people who cannot access the forum due to IP blocking or general E-Mail address blocking. Example, every new mail address with @hotmail.com. It's not the case but just to say

I also modified the numbers a bit, to avoid that a bot picks up the answer here. It's sadly rather common for bots to figure out answers to questions this way. ^^'

Sorry for the inconvenience and using a calculator, will most likely be the way to go with this. Especially since I need to make the number bigger when the bots are able to get through the captcha too much.
Doing some proper research is the best way to start an antcolony.

Need help or want to help? https://forum.AntsCanada.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=18153#p70566

Currently not keeping any ants anymore.
