I can perhaps shed a little light on the absences of Tarks and Fyodor.
Tarks is extremely busy these days, having added a regular cartoon slot in a national daily to his already tight schedule. He has virtually disappeared from other forums he used to contribute to regularly.
Fyodor can't be arsed.

How is that an excuse?

I mean I can understand not being arsed, but "busy"? What the hell's that?

'Busy' is what people are when they a have a life, Mince.

I understand that some people are having problems joining the forum in the first place. They're getting error messages and then can't see who to contact. One such guy did some research, found an old forum which linked to me, and emailed me about it. I passed it on to Mince.

If people interested in joining can't get on, it's no wonder the forum's dying a death.

I know a few people who have told me that they just can't get in here. Is it because of the extra security that was put in place to prevent spam?

I don't know for sure, but I suspect as much. I don't have anything to do with that side as it's a bit above my head.

Okay, tell everyone that from now on, anyone can register. I have opened the registration system.

And next time, tell me. I can't do anything if no one tells me.

And it only took 2 hours before we were attacked by a spambot! Hurrah!

There was another spam post this morning. Clearly we need some kind of gateway.

Malc - is it possible to implement something like a Captcha phrase, or similar?

I will upgrade the forum tonight, when no one is on it, and implement all the latest technology, including laser sensors and pressure pads.

 The pressure pads are set to high...I feel my brain squeezing.
People will come from strange lands to hear me speak my words of wisdom. They will ask me the secret of life and I will tell them. Then maybe I'll finish off with a song. The Nomad

I moderated a Religious/Atheist/Humanist forum in the past - I've done my bit for world peace.

I know she's used 'to' instead of 'too' but I can't prove it because it makes sense with 'to' as well. She's sneaky!
