Due to a lack of easily available registration tools to prevent bots from registering I've decided that for now it is best to disable registration all together since I have yet to get a legitimate person registered on the site.
As such, if you do want an account, please either visit the chat and provide your username and e-mail (as long as I'm in the room you don't have to wait for me to see it, I'll get it) or simply e-mail me that information and I'll be happy to provide it.
Once adequate plugins are available I'll re-enable registrations.
After updates to the site and changes in spam management, registrations have been re-enabled.
As of today registrations have once again been disabled due to spam. BuddyPress unfortunately is a poorly designed and insecure system that, no matter what we have done so far, cannot be set up to allow real users to register without serious influx of spam registrations and posts. As such, we will not be re-enabling registrations until we migrate OFF of BuddyPress completely.
