Accounts not activated with 48 hours will be deleted.

[Rob]

This is a policy change.

From the beginning, I've required memebers to activate their accounts by email. This isn't new. And 99% of the members do this, usually almost instantly after completing the signup form.

However, there has been a strong influx recently of bogus signups. Mostly they never complete activation, but a few do and go on to post spam here. Generally, they take their sweet time activating. So the new policy is aimed at keeping a better forum experiance for all (less spam) while keeping my workload to a minimum (I'll batch delete accounts that have not been activated).

Guests can post in this board. If you have trouble getting registered, let me know about it here. The link is added to both the registration agreement and the confirm email as well, so it shouldn't be a secret how to get hold of me if there's a legitimate problem that keeps a member from registering.
