Hello all - the spam attacks of the past few years have subsided and new user moderation is turned OFF.
This means:
1) Anyone can register for the forum
2) They must ACTIVATE using a valid email address
3) They can then post immeidately, whereas previously I had to manually review and approve each new member - which was slow, but did help get the spammers out
All new members are requested to make a "First Post" to "Off Topic" to introduce themselves, and to prove they aren't a spam bot
