The Process
To post to the forums, you must create an account for this website. This forum system will verify you by sending an email with an "authentication code". When you first log in, you need to provide that code.
Why register?
Without having a login process, the previous forum system was flooded with spam, effectively destroying it.
Privacy
Please don't worry about your email address being used for anything nefarious. This site is hosted on a private server which only the webmaster (Michael Clark) can access the email addresses. Mike is far too lazy to be bothered with spam. The site may send you an email for password retrieval, or anything else you opt-in... like if you select to know of new posts to the forum. If you have any queries, visit his site at www.maclark.co.uk to contact him. Please note that the mailing list on the front page of this site is not operated / maintained / anything to do with Michael Clark.
