We have changed the registration process of new user creation.  We are now requiring administrator approval for all new users.  This has been done due to the increaed number of spam messages being created by automated processes in our forums.  We strive to build our user community and forum for everyone to share and contribute.  We still want everyone interested in learning more about the team and posting to our forums to register on the site.  We are sorry for the inconvenience and will try to approve all valid users in a timely fashion.  Thanks for the patience.
