As new members are getting their letters, registration is really picking up. If you would like to become a member, please register first, and then send me an email with your username so that I can activate your account as quickly as possible. I am getting over 100 registrations per day (about 90-95 of which are spam), and it is impossible for me to go mining through them one by one. The best option is to respond to your registration email, with "Please activate my account" (or something to that effect) in the subject line. I check my email daily, so account activation shouldn't normally take more than 24-48 hours, as long as I receive an email with a username in it.
I am sorry for the inconvenience but it is the only way we can keep the boards spam-free. It is worth it in the long run!
