If you want me to register than why not fix your forum. It keeps asking for year of birth and when you put it ( 4 characters max) it keeps saying I did not put it when I did and thus wont let me register.

For starters, we didn't know it was broken.

As of the past week, over 100 other had NO problem with it, and you're the first complaint.

Did you try sending an email to [email protected] to politely ask for help?

Or do you just prefer the immediate smart-ass approach?

Try putting a date in that encompasses about the past 75-80 years - the program won't allow wild dates. make the second entry for the year of birth MATCH the DOB. Don't default to January 1 - i shit-can those. Make certain you do not lie about location - I check ISPs; do not locate yourself as on "earth" - bye bye.... Get the picture? We do not ask much in registering, but we do expect a modest element of accuracy and honesty. Delete is just as easy to click as is Accept. I'd rather click accept, but if my gut or the data in front of me indicate - I do not hesitate to push selected folks out the door.

OTOH, as Paolo suggests, a POLITELY worded email WITH COMPLETE DETAILS AND INFORMATION, usually obtains fairly quick attention - I attend this stuff daily. Do NOT send me an email that says "It don't work." What don't? Who the fuck are you? what ID? Did you bother to read instructions (they are very simple)? (Those who cannot follow hand held registration are usually left at the door after 4 or 5 tries.)

I'm probably being a bit harsh and ass-holish, but quite frankly I don't give a shit. This post is not focused at Miker in particular, but at many many over the years. It will do extremely little good, save to let me dump a little shit on someone else's garden.
