Our Website
Hi ho, this is your friendly neighborhood webmaster. If you've tried to register in the past, go ahead and try again. I've made some changes that should both prevent spam and let everyone register. Hooray!
Remember that you do need a valid email address to register for an account. That's where your registration confirmation is sent. Without it, you can't log in. I only point this out because I've had a couple registration attempts that looked legit - and then their confirmation email bounced.
