i was snooping around and probably can't find my way back there but i found a spot where it says members awaiting authorization.

what does that mean ?

When Corey is unavailable, new members can't post until he is online & keeping an eye on things. We had problems the last couple of weeks w/ new members starting trouble.

Oh I see :withstupid:

I thought it was just part of Homeland Security :D :p

sweet, was worried i may not learn something today but voala, there it is.

This is also req'd:

"New users can sign, but must use a validation code sent via email to the address they enter. This requires the use of a REAL email address and duplicate email addresses are not allowed. This makes it much more difficult for someone malicious to sign up."

I don't think Hotmail accounts are permitted.

Thank goodness I'm in already :0:
