As there were no objections, this board now requires prior registration to post. I sincerely hope this will not discourage newbies and lurkers from registering! The only reason we're doing this is to keep out the increasing numbers of spammers flooding the board with irrelavent posts. Because Boardhost unfortunately will not allow my co-admins to also approve people, I am setting aside a period where all registrations are automatically approved (because I'm not online 24 hours a day). So far there's been no false registrations, so I'll keep this open registration on until there are. Second change: I'm upgrading, finally, to a paid board. No more ads (yay!). And you will be able to edit your posts. This is a trial run of 90 days...if we like it, I will consider continuing to pay the roughly $10/month, or perhaps solicit donations. We'll see! Please email me if you have any questions or problems with the registration process. (You'll have to de-mangle the email address first by removing the "BLAH" bits.) Co-admins, banning IPs will continue to work, and should prevent any spammers who slip through the auto-registration process from posting again. Love you all! Here's to a happy, spam- and ad- free board! *clinks glasses* Zak
