I have been purging old un-activated accounts from the forum (there are hundreds of attempts per week to register accounts - some never get past the captcha filter of those that do, most are fake email addresses so validation fails. A few get through and make a rubbish post or two (before I notice).
In the process, I fear I may have removed some genuine accounts. If this is the case, I do apologise. Please email me if you want your account back, or simply sign up with your previous user name - then PM me and tell me not to do it again
On a separate note, some people have been reporting problems trying to post to the forum. I seem to be able to do it, but if you have problems, let me know via PM (if that works) or email.
Thanks,
Phil
