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.

Wow, I wish they did that over here on Veterans Day.
It's getting better, but IMHO we could do better.

Rad,
In the Netherlands all Veterans receive a Veterans pas when they leave the service.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin
