Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.
Thanks for joining us from the administration.

When they want to show our enemies how American's fight they need to show them the battle of the tin cans at Samar. DD's & DE's slugging it out with battlewagons--and making them think there crusiers.
