In the past 2 days we have been swamped by pre-holiday spam and many many accounts created only for the purpose of swamping us with more spam within a few days.
To give everyone, including our moderators, a reprieve I have temporarilly turned off new registrations I'll turn them back on after the holidays or sooner if I get a better anti spam method in place. If you know of anyone that legitimately needs an account here, you can always email me (i know, not through the site form because that is currently busted).
I realise this option is a little bit over the top... but I just spend over an hour just removing newly created spam accounts from the past 48 hours, and right now I can not spare that much time.
