Due to a large amount of spam members joining this forum we have had to set the registration process to be mannually activated by a member of the admin team. Someone will normally check every few hours to activate new memberships, if you have not had your membership activated within 24 hours or you notice your ID disappear from the membership list, please reply to your Welcome email.
Very occasionally a genuine new member will be deleted by mistake as we can sometimes be deleting dozens of spam members in a day. We of course apologise for this and always welcome being made aware of this so the mistake can be corrected. To make it easier for us to identify genuine memers, please consider adding something appropriate to this forum (smurfs, smurfy, smurf collecting, schlumpf, schtroumpf etc. etc.) to your Interests section on the registration page.
