I have had way too many spammers using this site to advertise fake nikes and gucci's, mostly from China. Therefore, I've had to moderate access to this site. This is regrettable, but necessary. Someday if I have the time to improve on the content, I'll open it up again. READ THIS: If you really want access to this site, you must take proactive action to gain access. Since I am never far from e-mail, it may only take minutes, or hours, or on weekends worst case, a day or so to approve your account. YOU MUST BE REGISTERING FROM AN IP ADDRESS THAT SUPPORT REVERSE LOOKUP. IF YOU ARE IN CHINA OR RUSSIA, AND ARE NOT A SPAMMER, YOU'LL HAVE TO CONTACT ME DIRECTLY FOR ACCESS. I WILL NOT APPROVE ANY REQUESTS FROM THOSE LOCATIONS WITHOUT DIRECT CONTACT. YOU CAN USE THE FEEDBACK FORM FOR THAT.
