New Rule, due to people registering and stalking users in the Private Message system.
YOU MUST POST TO THE PUPLIC FORUM AT LEAST ONCE IN THE FIRST WEEK, OR YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE CLOSED.
It can be as simple as "Hi, new user checking in". We prefer that you introduce yourself a bit, and firmly establish you are here. You do not need to participate in anything else, just check in and let us know you are not a spammer or other bad thing.
That means no more accounts with zero posts. All accounts over a week old, that have registered and never posted, are subject to being deleted at any time.
I use to regullarly go through and purge old registered accounts, with zero posts because spammers use them. Typically anything over a month or two old. Now I am seeing an inherient danager in allowing people to register and never establish a public reputation on the forum.
