While admin activation isn't necisarily (sp) a bad thing, it took me a while to get my account activated, and it was also trouble contacting any of the staff. I asked SSJ-Sonic to help me which worked, but it came to my mind that other users will probally just give up before their account gets activated.

While I'm no expert on this, it may be better to install a lot of bot blocking software instead so that real users can get in.

If no new people can get on, the site won't do too well.

So I'm suggesting to do something about this if at all possible.

In my personal opinion if people just give up without much of a fight they probly didn't want to be here that bad. *shrug*

Welcome to the board by the way...

Enjoy your stay.

Yeah, we had an issue with spambots earlier this year, so the admins did whatever they could to stop it. Welcome to the forums. I hope you stay.

Well, I can already tell I'm going to like it here.

But the admins could at least set up a reliable way for real members to contact them and post it in an annoucnement. That way there wouldn't be trouble for real users to get here, and the spam bots won't be the least bit of a problem.

I've just been really busy lately, normally I activate accounts every morning and night- along with deleting spambot signups.

Well it's good to know that you normally do it all the time.
