does Thread Zone have any lore?

Who were they?

if you try to sign up with emails that are probably spam, the site hangs forever instead of returning an error, possibly fucking with the spammers by wasting their resources

when something hangs, is that any stress on the server? like does it just keep trying to ping or does the connection like.. get trapped without returning the message that it is trapped?

how did you compile your list of spam emails? what email services do you know of that offer free email accounts (with zero verification) that aren’t considered spam yet on the general web (e.g. ProtonMail)?

its nothing that fancy i just look at domains that have spammed me before
also it takes a tiny bit of resources until they time out and give up, but the idea is they think the site is broken and stop trying lolz. or at the very least it wastes their resources too
