New User Registration Restored

As some of you may have noticed, the site has been targeted by spammers. I was killing the posts for a couple of weeks then I missed a couple of days and they started piling up again. Some of you notified me and I cleaned them up. Thanks for the assists! I do appreciate it.


New registration is ...
