I kinda thought that also.

It is unfortunate that the existence of a Torontonian with several disassociative identities (who is easily traced) means no new fans can join and contribute.

I'm honestly surprised the board is so resilient, as usually when a forum resorts to this, atrophy leads to a not slow death.

It's also because the forum has been spammed several times with hundreds of new user signups in a matter of hours from various IP's.

We have ways around people signing up with name #4 and #5. Xenforo is VERY good at figuring that ish out. We even had one try to do it the same way as Byron's friend (sending me a manual email) and we were able to determine it was a previous offender even with a different IP and email address, before I even made them an account.

We aint dumb.

Glad this post showed up, thanks for what all you guys do behind the scenes so a knucklehead like myself can hang around here.

Looks like it's possible for new users to sign up again.

Figured I would bump this thread. Haven't had a new member in a while now...

Thank you to the admins for opening up new member registration! Four new members this week. That's good to see

I was invited to join the forum from somebody I was friendly with on a different racing forum.

I'm glad I was shown this place, it's much more informative, and professionally run.

Thank you for letting me on.
