I was on vacation the last 14 days, and am not in the habit of announcing this on public forums for obvious reasons.

I have a backlog of new registrations to work through, and will do so ASAP.

Your patience is most appreciated.
 
Update = New Registering Users - Please Read

I deleted all invalid registrations without sending the customary boilerplate response that the login name was of an invalid format. The usual response was not sent in order to not give spammers any additional info as to the registration process.

For some time now, all user names must be in the format: Firstname Lastname.

Anything in the last 14 days that did not meet this requirement was deleted without exception. I will now process the validly formatted registrations.

Again, your patience is most appreciated.
 
Done!

Done!

All properly formatted new users registered.

This was an extremely large batch, if anyone has any issues, please do not hesitant to PM here or email me at john [at] texasturner {dot} com, and I will address any issues ASAP.

Again, thank you for you patience and enjoy the forums!
