Welcome to the new board, again...

[dirge]

Like any board, we've got out registered lurkers and semi lurkers like Onoj (who I believe is yet to post on this board, but does post on occasion).

Plus there's the 14 attempted registrations by Saber Prime/the doctor!

[Borgeman]

isnt there any way to fully restrict rego to griff, so only true registrations are included? id hate to see the member number balloon again - on the old board i was member 598 and joined dec 06, and the newest member was number 6509!!!!

nearly 6000 regos in a yr :/

sorry to be dumb..what's a rego?

[GoktimusPrime]

Registration. Australians don't like words with more than two syllables so they're often contracted to 1 or 2 syllables - usually with "-ie" on the end but "Reggie" is already a contraction for "Reginald" so it's contracted as "rego" instead.

e.g.
registration -> rego
vegetables -> vegies
underwear -> undies

...it gets weirder in Japanese...
Transformers (Toransufoomaa) -> Torafo
Starscream (Sutaasukuriimu) -> Sutasuku

Either the spammers haven't found this new board, or the registration process blocks them a lot better than the old board did.
Saber didn't try to register 14 times. Only twice before I told him not to. Those are the two invalidated numbers. Everyone one else as of this posting is a current, active member. Still an impressive number (70 active members), considering they all registered here within just 2 weeks, from a single topic on the old board mentioning the new location.
