New Anti-Spam policy

In order to combat the recent tsunami of SPAM hitting the site, I have had to make a change to the registration process of the site.  It is no longer possible to register an account on the site with an automated process.  New members will have to contact me via email to register.

I realize this may discourage some "real" members, but I cannot help that.  I have been deleting literally dozens of Spam messages daily as of late, and that is taking up time I could be spending in more useful activities.  Hopefully this step will stop the flood.

(The registration page is now visible all the time, so if you want to see what it says, feel free to go look.)

This does not affect already-registered members in any way.  For them, this is merely an informational update.
