This discussion forum recently has been under attack by bots... from all over the world. The bots join and then spam the board. It's was becoming a full time job to keep things clean so I've disabled membership until we can upgrade our software. If you want to post you need to join! so email me and I'll set you up. Wink

Paul White has updated our Forum Software to a new and improved version. Bots no longer appear to be an issue with this version, accordingly our registration is now open again. Thanks Paul!

It appears to me that the new software has a hole that is allowing bots to attach links to our post.  I've seen two incidents since the new software was updated.  Check the "bow casting" post.
