As a note to everyone to see I will make doing some work on the site over the next week or so. These could involve some upgrades to the software used so you may find the site temporarily down during this time but it should take long. I will try to perform any 'disruptive' work during low activity hours (early mornings).

I have also stepped up the SPAM protection, we were getting a lot of bots creating accounts. Luckily the existing security was protecting the forum so it was just me getting signup emails. The SPAM did reach the shoutbox so this has been down for a little while now. Once I am happy my new security has worked I will re-enable the shoutbox.

In an effort to clean up the bots I have deleted all accounts that didn't use a proper name in the name filed of the signup page. If I have deleted anyone by mistake I am sorry please just sign up again and use a real name in the name field (at least looks real, dosnt need to be your actual name but that will help).

Finally I will be doing some changes in the forum, we defiantly need an introduce yourself section. I know I am finding it hard to keep track of peoples nicknames.
