Online Clipboard Reopened

I decided that I wasn't ready to completely remove my Online Clipboard system completely. Instead, I've added an input barrier which should help protect the site against spam bots. We'll see if it helps and how cumbersome it is. I have other options in mind for protecting the site which include a math CAPTCHA and simply restricting content pasted.

On a side note, I've migrated the database this site uses from mysql 4 to mysql 5. I fixed a bug in Quotes Salad but other than that, everything seems to be working ok. The bug grew out of the way the RAND() function changed between mysql versions.
