UPDATE: Registration is once again open to the public. Hopefully the newer forum software's spammer protection is up to the task!

--------

Due to recent heavy spammer attacks, we've had to tighten our registration process.

First, we will no longer accept new members that use GMail or Russian email accounts. Virtually all of the spammers have been using gmail or mail.ru for their registration emails. However, if you are currently registered under one of these accounts, you will be allowed to keep using it.

Second, all new registrants will have to be authorized by a moderator. If you register and don't get activated right away, please send an email to administrator@renoscca.org and let us know your new username and an administrator will activate your account ASAP.

We're sorry we have to enact these sorts of measures, but apparently some people out there think they have a right to waste our time and bandwidth on the off chance that there are still some people out there that don't know how to find out about porn, weight loss, cell phones, and Viagra on the internet without it being forced down their throats. :unamused:

We've just upgraded to the latest version of vBulletin that supports reCaptcha human verification. Hopefully this will alleviate the spammers to the point that we can have open registration once again!

This new version of vB also has a bunch of new Social Group features. I created a Subaru Club group for all the Suby drivers... join it here:

...though I'm not totally sure what the group gives you.

You mean the GetViagra4YouCheap family wasn't on the up-and-up (so to speak)?
