Ok, there have been a few look-i-loos already, and I know why some may not want to register, this site has a very strict registration process, not only do you have to do some math, but there is a captcha to deal with, oh, and a first and last name is required, sounds scary, right?
Well, let me just put it this way, it is for all of our protection, it keeps the bots away, and even most of the human SPAMMERS, how does it do that you ask? Simple, human SPAMMERSÂ use names that are either very common, or absolutely bogus, by requiring a first and last name, and validating the email address, it makes it more of a hassle than its worth, but therein lies the problem, it slows down the membership too.
So, if you are reading this, go ahead and register, post a comment, or a reply, you may be the first or second to reply to my ranting, but, once you get involved, and tell your friends, it will happen fast, then, the registation process will be evn tougher, an invite code will be required, so get in on the ground floor, lets make it happen. I hope to see ya here soon!

I just noticed that when an article is posted in the blog section, only a link is showing up in the forum, it should be the entire thing so that you don’t have to flip back and forth. This post is to test the setting and see how it comes out. I am hoping that it will also post a comment in the blog when a reply is posted in the forum, we’ll see, I am a bit new to this forum plugin, which, by the way is a great tool, check it out here.
If you are an avid WordPress user, you already know that WordPress is very secure, I have the registration set to require first and last name, that keeps the SPAMMERS away, but I also have it set to not show your personal info, if you notice that something is showing that you feel shouldn’t, let me know.
As far as recruitment goes, I am thinking about having registration with a “secret” code, again, I am not familiar with this part of the plugin, and again, these two plugins, the Simple Press Forum and Register Plus, may not play well together, so, if you notice any problems, let me know. Anyway, back to the secret code thing. Once we get our “core” membership, things could get messy with what I call “hit and run” SPAMMERS, you know, they sign up just to post a link to some sort of porn site or something, then run away, but, if we have a secret code, and we can change it if need be, maybe even one code for each moderator, anyway, I am getting ahead of myself. For now, register, login, and post a comment or something, and tell all of your friends, lets make this site work! Have a good one!

Hopefully, you will all find this site a useful and fun place to spend some time. If you would like to help out, be an author, forum moderator etc, please post and let me know, this could be way too much work for just me.
Your first step is to register and log in, after that, we can talk about possible positions and all of that, even if you don’t want to be a moderator or whatever, you can still post your suggestions for this site, remember, this site is for all of us, lets make it a great place for all!
