I just letting all of you know, in an effort to eliminate spam, (there has been a lot lately, dispite deleting & banning) that I've restricted new account registrations. Every account registered will have to wait for approval. Hopefully this helps

Good deal. They keep coming up with smarter spam bots.

Even with assistance it was hard to keep up with. 2 active staff members just isn't enough. We were getting 3-7 new members per day.
Now that I've restricted it, I don't know what to do with them, how long to make them wait, etc. I feel like I'm out of my league

You guys are doing great.
(There's still one in the forum questions and comments section.)
I guess we have no idea how hard you guys work behind the scenes.
But thanks.
