Title: New members - an apology
Post by: Anne on September 20, 2011, 04:09:40 AM
In the last couple of weeks we've had over 2,000 applications to join the forum.  Now you might think that this was good news.  However, when you take into account that the vast majority of them had e-mail addresses which indicated an interest in selling "personal enhancement" products or other dubious addresses or who had decided to join on the basis of looking at zero pages or who had decided to join and had then spent the next 5 days trying to log into their new account about once every 2 minutes despite the fact that they kept getting a message saying their account was not yet authorised or ....

Well, you get the point.

So, if you are a real person trying to join this forum - apologies.  I've rejected you.  After the first 100 or so fake applications I lost the will to live.  Let us know by methods that would be obvious to someone with a pulse but (fortunately) have not yet occurred to the 'bots and we'll add you inl.


  In case you don't know who to email (since you can't view profiles as a guest) try emailing admin@ageofthering.com and we'll try to get you set up..  -Thιo
