Currently we've had a few spam attacks, so I've switched registration so that only admin can activate them. Right now we've had five in the last three days, so it's not so bad. If things calm down, we may go back to how it was before. So just a note if you're registering here, it may take a tiny bit longer to be able to post than prior to this.

are they all Russian? LJ is being got at too, it seems.

Russian, German, you name it - all bog standard forum spam though - I'm surprised it took this long.
