Well, It took about 9 months, but the spam bots have finally cracked my registration system, and plagued the forum with a bunch of pharmaceutical and, well adult content..

I have expanded on the registration security, but I realized that being this is somewhat of a private club forum, there is no real reason to leave registration completely open to the public. So, with that said, I have reverted the new registration system to a manually activation. For those that have already registered, this will not effect you at all.

For anyone that registers in the future, once the registration process is complete, instead of an email being sent to the new member, the Admin will receive it. (myself to be specific) I will review the person to verify they are a real person with interest in joining the forum, and activate the person myself. If I have doubt, I will send a message to the person for more information.

This is the only true way to put a stop to spam bots registering and littering the forums with garbage over night. And yes, I do mean literally over night. Just today I have deleted 30+ registered bots, and something like 50 posts filled with garbage ranging from adult content to pharmaceutical adds. This all happened within a couple hours while I was not looking. Bottom line is, they are intruders that are not welcome here.

Anyways, as I said, this will not effect anyone beyond the future new forum member having to wait a short time once registered, to become active and able to post content.

Have a great day,
See you at the field!
