We've also had a number of spammers attempting to register on the site, so in an effort to confirm that new registrations are actual people, we've added the requirement of a confirmation email. The "click here to activate your account" type.

I hate doing things like this, because it adds restrictions on who might be interested in participating in our forum, and it feels like we're wrapping our forum in red tape. However, neither Thrae nor I can afford to spend up to an hour every day working on the back-end administration of the board.

Rest assured that we're working hard to make good of our promise to approve all legitimate posts.
