Unfortunately, due to spam issues that I cannot yet figure out, the forums are now only viewable to registered users.  Previously, anyone could view the forums but only registered users were supposed to be able to post.  However, as of the last few weeks, spammers have some how been sending messages in anyway, not only posting offensive words and links to sites, but sending emails to those subscribed to the thread at which they post their messages.  I cannot figure out why this is happening, I've double checked the settings and they are all correct, so something else must be broken.

In the meantime, the forums are now completely registered users only.  I hope to remedy this as soon as possible and return them to the way they were before (public read, registered write).

To register, see the login box on the side menu, it will have a link for registering.  You should then be able to see the forums.

Thanks for hanging in there, everyone.  I apologize to those of you who received any spam posts via your email address.
