Hi, I just joined yesterday. I have been on here for years, tried to join years ago and received a message that you were not accepting new members so never retried until yesterday.
I am on many forums ........ this one was the hardest to join. The instructions about the two part verifications were ........ let me say sketchy .......... took me 6 or 7 tries to get it.
Having said all that, I am glad I joined.

Glad to have you here. Thanks for your patience with the 2 step verification process. It's part of our war against spammers (because most of them go somewhere else rather than bother with setting that up).

I think having a clean forum is worth the trouble, and you get extra security on top of it. Not that anyone cares about hacking into someone's forum account. But yeah.

I'll echo Fury's comment. He and I have probably 40ish years of combined IT industry knowledge, at the ugly levels no less (not the pretty turn-it-off-and-back-on level). It's an anti-spam thwart, which is why we had registration closed for about 2 years - we had an influx of about 40 spammers in 2-3 months then shut the front door.
