I bet nobody is participating because nobody wants to go through the hassle of logging in here. You should allow anonymous everything and you'll have a lot more participation. Registering and all the hassle is a pain.

Thanks for the suggestion but my experience tells me that would be a mistake.

I know what kind of abuse and support nightmare that could potentially be allowing the whole world to post without any authentication whatsoever.

We'll keep it the way it is for now.

Thanks again for the suggestion however. Keep 'em coming.

There's little trouble in signing up and signing in. The alternative would be a free-for-alll and the spammers would have a field day. Give it time, things will begin to move as word gets out.

I too think you should open up this forum so you can post a message as soon as you come here and not have to subscribe and get an email before you can do anything. I almost didn't register and log in because it started being too much a pain. I hate typing in those secret blurred characters I hope I don't have to do that every time. Nice web site though.

Once you are signed up and log in first time, you can check that box at the login to auto-login each time you visit. You then don't have to do anything when you visit this page, it will have you logged in automatically.

The registration is as simple as picking a username and password, entering an email address (get a temporary GMAIL one for all I care) and click the link in the email when it's sent to you. That's it. Sorry to say that this process will remain. When I look at my logs I see many attempts per week for automated bots trying to post spam messages here.

This is just a side hobby of mine, I can't invest a ton of time maintaining this site. Hope you understand.

Hi Amy. I don't have to log in to this site it does it for me since I clicked the option at the login prompt for this site to remember me. I did have to sign up at the start but thats it. No hassle what so ever in my opinonion. Leave it like it is because it keeps things straight and will probably keep out some garbage users.
