For anyone who is joining the site to avoid delays in approving your user - can you drop me a quick email to info@theALPINAregister.com stating your username - that way we can speed up the process.
The trouble is that we currently get 00's of new members a day and so its tough to wade through them all and sometimes tough to spot real users from rogue ones. I err on the side of caution as a rule - but this means some people have to wait far longer than necessary.
I hope to filter out a lot of these rogue users when we upgrade the forum software which hopefully shouldn't be too long away.
In the meantime I thought it would be helpful to state this openly.
