In the continuing saga of our "you get what you pay for" hosting, a lot of e-mails sent by the forum (and me) are just bouncing straight back at the moment.

Obviously, this makes it difficult to register. If you've registered for the forum recently and your confirmation doesn't arrive, please e-mail Rangers51 (see the staff page for contact info) and ask him nicely to forward it to you manually. Obviously, for security reasons, we can only forward the e-mail to the address you used to register - if you need it sent to another address, please log in and change your registered address there first.

For all current users, and everyone who's already had a manual confirmation sent, please don't try to change your forum e-mail address until this is resolved, as your account will be deactivated pending response to an e-mail you'll never receive. It'd also be helpful if you could temporarily unsubscribe from any active topics to lighten the bounce load on our mailbox -- it's not like you'd have received notification anyway.

Sorry about that. We'll let you know once this has been resolved, which we really hope is sooner rather than later.

Update 28 Oct 2004: Our host has solved the problem of our mailbox filling up with bounces by preventing any e-mail from reaching us at all. So there's little point e-mailing us now... we won't have your bounced mail, and we won't get your request to forward it, either. Sorry, loves. And a tip: if your webhost ever changes management, leave immediately.
