We have been getting many visits from unregistered visitors.  I want to mention to those that visit and do not register, most of our posting is done in another area that is viewed only when logged in as a registered member.  We welcome lurkers to register but we will be looking at your registration and will be removing all new members that register here with only the intention to spam or to post unrelated material that is not appropriate. 
So for those with good intentions that visit our board, we incouraged you to register and visit and post on the forum and become one of the regular posters that visit on a near daily if not daily basis.  We are a friendly group. 

Remember as you think about registration, we do take time to take care of our member list and we do remove inactive members or members that have posted inappropriate materials because we care about each member. We keep our board free from as much internet trash as we can.  It makes it much safer to be part of this board unlike other messageboards that have an open membership and allow anyone and everything to enter and to post unsafe material or infected attachments.

Enjoy the board and feel free to register. 

Share your hobbies with us. 

Ask questions and help others with your talents and knowlege.

I want to mention also that we have been and will continue to remove members that we welcomely activate if they do not reply to our e-mails. They also may face removal of their membership if they do not initiate a post within 5 days after registration.  No offence intended.

I removed the members that have joined in the past and have not posted.  There were three of them. I also checked to see if they have ever logged on.  Only one of them had logged on and that was a long time ago. The others were long past the 5 days required to initiate a first post. They can always request another membership. They will loose their ranking.

I also changed the index page on the website.  I was getting robots that were posting on my contact forms.  I disabled those forms. I also got rid of the header with some company/personal  information. Next thing I would have been getting would be unwanted phone calls.  I do get one on occasion. Perhaps they came from the website.

The messageboard is back to allowing registrations. I had disabled the registration a couple of weeks ago because we were having a string of many registrations daily that were not legit. I increased the registration security now also.  At least if someone wants to join they can do it.  New registrations are set to administration activation so it may take up to 24 hours for activation but most likely less.  I hope the increased security settings will get rid of the unwanted robots and advetizers.

I will be working on a new Index page this Winter.

We had 9 members and lost one. I think it was due to that member was on a trial basis and they spamed the board with some unwanted advertizing. 


We are open for new members.  The more information filled out at registration the better chances of activation.
