For those of you who are new to the site, I now require admin approval of registrations. This means that when you sign up for the site, there will be a 24-48 hour period before you can post any messages, the time I will need to approve the account you created. We had such an onslaught of spam that this became the only way to fight it.
The problem is that I get between 10 and 50 new accounts per day, 95% of which are spammers'. If you create a new account and want it activated as soon as possible, drop me a an email alongside your registration, providing your username. It should speed up the approval process.
Also, if it seems to take FOREVER to get your account approved, be sure to contact me about it. I have been known to delete genuine accounts because I have assumed they were made by spammers.
Thanks!
