Due to the ridiculous number of spammer registrations we've been getting recently (100+ per day) we've had to turn off new member registrations temporarily.  We'll be upgrading the Forum software in September and there should be some extra authentication checks we can put in place at that point, like wargamer-themed qualifying questions, Captcha codes, etc. 

In the meantime, if anyone would like to become a member of the Forum, drop us an email through the Contact page of the Pendraken or Minibits websites and we will register your account manually for you.

Over 100 per day now, so it was just getting too much.  I manually check each one so it was a huge chunk of the day taken up when I could be doing something more productive.

That's bloody ridiculous !......Like I said....I got fed up with seeing a dozen or more a day ! Roll on the software upgrade, Matey.

Thank you Leon for making the manual process so quick and painless!

Such a shame that your time has to be taken up doing this due to spammers.
