Generally I like to leave forum registration fairly open and non-intrusive. But due to a recent spat of spammers (or spambots) I've had to strengthen the registration process. To register you are now required to:
- Respond to a more difficult "captcha" image.
- Use a valid email address. We will not share this email with anyone.
- Check the email address you use and click on a verification link to complete registration.
- After these fairly simple steps you will be able to officially log in.
Thanks.
