Just a heads up in case anyone has been trying to register the last few days! User registration is back open and we will do our best to activate verified accounts as quickly as possible.

Hopefully we average less than 20 or 30 spammer accounts a day this time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Now, let me abuse my responsibilities here to be the first to say "Welcome to the Yard!" to the new members. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

One IMPORTANT note!

Occasionally an applicant is turned down, and the reason is usually listed as "spammer". This may be for a variety of reasons, but you should reapply or notify Customer Service of the problem. They will in turn notify us Moderators, who are the ones - and ONLY ones - determining eligibility for the forum.

Unfortunately, we recently had a person apply and was rejected. Instead of taking a reasonable approach, he instead profanely BLASTED our Customer Service department for his being rejected. They have NOTHING to do with approving applicants, ONLY the Moderators! Because of his actions, he will NOT be allowed on this forum!!! A little civility goes a LONG way! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
