Well, the date for Recaptcha v1 passed and we don't have a workaround (I checked), and turning it off increased the amount of crap that got through by a large amount, so for the time being I've restricted new signups on the wiki. Admins (and even users

) can create new accounts, so it's not like we've restricted it entirely; you just can't sign up from the wiki itself now.
I will need to spend some time Soon&tm; figuring out what to do, because we are rapidly approaching "this cannot continue" levels:
Thankfully I delayed long enough that Linode appears to have figured out elastic storage, so this may be a simpler fix than before. But it will still involve literally days of downtime...
