View Full Version : Need Help Getting on the Other Forum

As you can see by my post count I'm a new guy and I only recently discovered FF and this forum. I finally decided to stop lurking and register so I can ask questions, and when I tried to do so, despite the fact that I'm a carbon-based life form and answered the anti-spam bot questions, it denied me registration until I contacted the FF Forum moderator. I did, he put me in the system, and here I am.

In reading posts here I found out about the other forum and would like to be able to ask questions and view pictures over there. Once again I was identified as a spam-bot or something, but the difference is that I've contacted the other forum's moderators several times and have waited weeks now for registration with no response.

Which leads me in a long-winded way to my humble request: I can't think of a way to get through to them. Could someone with posting privileges over there tell them of my plight and perhaps ask how I might get registered? If they need my email address or other personal info PM me here and I'll give it.

Thanks.

Loren

It's nothing personal - in my limited experience, the forum programming takes into consideration what kind of email address is used, and ISP. Certain ones and combinations have been overused by others who've taken advantage of access to forum members information. Old news, ongoing problem.

Which reminds me, I've registered with about a half dozen in the last six months - you should see the spam I get lately. It's been empty pretty much for years, and now I'm suddenly deluged with the news my youtube videos are #1, and amazon has cancelled at least a dozen orders in the last three weeks.

I can't even begin to explain what some of the new pills will supposedly do.

Nothing personal, it's entirely others creating your problem.

I know it's nothing personal, and I hope that spammers spend eternity roasting over slow fires while using their tongues on molten keyboards in attempting to delete infinite incoming spam. :mad:

The same thing happened here (registration denied), but I was manually entered only a couple days after requesting it. I've gotten nothing but silence from the other place, so I'm kind of stuck.

Thanks for the replies.

I had exactly the same problem. To be honest, since I have yet to purchase my kit, I haven't bothered trying any harder, I'm having a great time over here. If anyone wants to allow me into the other forum I'd be happy to poke around there as well though.
