IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS!

Hello,
I just wanted to let everyone know that it's time for some serious spring cleaning here at the SHGHRS forum and A LOT of accounts will be deleted soon. If you have a legitimate account and you have either never or have very seldom posted in the forum and you do not wish to have your account deleted, please be sure to post SOMETHING in the forum within the next few days and let us know. Right now, we currently have 451 registered "users", but I anticipate that number actually ending up being around 5 or 6....

Also, I have been having to delete over a dozen spambot registrations a day and it has just gotten completely out of control. Pretty much all of these spambot registrations are coming in from GMail accounts, so I am also considering just banning GMail accounts from registering altogether. At minimum, we are going to be adopting a new registration policy. Once I have deleted all of these accounts, ALL new members will be required to at least introduce themselves by posting in the forum upon registration or their accounts will automatically be deleted.

Lastly, the forum is long over due for some troubleshooting and updating to the latest version of phpBB, so as soon as time permits, the forum will be going down for awhile, while the updates are being completed. Unfortunately, that means we will be losing a lot of the cool tools/features I have installed, at least temporarilly. More on that later....

Thank you for your cooporation.

- Aedryan
