Title: NEW MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION
Post by: RedOakGamebirds on June 21, 2011, 10:10:58 AM

Recently our system has been invaded by a substantial number of computerized registrations to the forum.  From our usual 10-15 registrations on average per day are now over 400.  I am temporarily disabling the new membership automatic sign up for the time being.  Hopefully after a short while the computers wont receive automatic email replies from this forum and move somewhere else.  Just like with spam emails, once you reply to the email the outside computer sees there is some actual person accepting it and it knows its a valid email address.  Since the forum sends automatic replies to new members our server is constantly receiving new and bogus member requests from emails that dont exist.  Sorry for the inconvenience.


ANY NEW MEMBER THAT WISHES TO SIGN UP AND USE THIS FORUM PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL WITH A USERNAME YOU WANT AND I WILL MANUALLY ADD IT FOR YOU.  ONCE I ADD IT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LOG IN AND CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD AND YOU THE FORUM PAGES.
