Title: Trouble receiving your initial forum password
Post by: Justin B. on November 17, 2006, 07:57:08 PM
It was my conscious decision to have the system e-mail a member their initial login password.  I felt this was just one more thing I could do to make it harder for some automated something-or-other to be able to register and spam us.  Unfortunately, several folks have had issues with this as their ISP apparently consigned the e-mail containing their login information to the "spam can"!!

If you have registered, and have not received your password within 10-15 minutes, check wherever your mail client/ISP consigns stuff it considers spam.  If it is not there then post, private message, or e-mail me from the old board and I'll assign and e-mail you a password which you can easily change after logging in.

But, let's look on the bright side.  This forum has been up for 5 days now and no spam.  We made it, what, 2 days before the For-Sale section started drowning in excrement on the other board?

Yeah, man.  I'm with you!   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]  If we can keep the spammers out, then I say it's worth a small amount of inconvenience!

Boxerworks was tough at first when they "tightened things down".  I don't think it has hurt business much.

Lets keep things the way it is going. I have quit some groups that started get spam in the last week.
