Unfortunately, our forum has been the victim of an incredible amount of spam lately - much of it linked to adult sites, to make matters even worse. I apologize if you saw any of these messages before I was able to delete them - I do my absolute best to keep this forum clean and 'family friendly'.
Since most of these spammers use bogus email addresses, I have turned on the email confirmation feature - which means all new members will have to 1) type in an image code during registration, and 2) confirm their registration via email before their account is activated.
I apologize for the extra steps...
Thank you to all of you who took the time to send me an email or private message to notify me when spam was posted on the forum - I appreciate that!
