Bonsai Nut
Nuttier than your average Nut
This is a general post about the unfortunate time that it takes between first visiting our site, and the eventual acceptance as a "registered member".
Over 90% of the unregistered web traffic that comes to this site is in the form of registration bots trying to gain access to the forums. Because this site allows users to post photos, links, and other content, someone who wants to abuse membership privileges can cause a lot of damage in a short period of time. Therefore, it is critical that we screen prospective members as rigorously as possible.
The first step in the process is the registration step - followed by the confirmation email. Assuming these steps are concluded correctly, your application is screened and (assuming you are not a spammer) you are accepted as a "new member".
These steps are an annoyance to new visitors, and I am sure we have lost many prospective members because the registration steps were not completed or were too lengthy or complicated. If you ever want to short-cut the system, please send me a personal email and I can register you immediately. Unfortunately these steps are necessary to keep porn, spam, and malware off the site.
Thank you for understanding!
