Site was spammed, your (recently created) account might have been deleted
Well, it happened - a spambot penetrated this website and left a lot of undesirable forum posts. I think we've removed all of them, as well as the dozens of fake users created by the spambot.
However, we could have accidentally deleted some real user accounts, in particular accounts created in early May of 2009. If this affected you, please just recreate your account.
New accounts will need sysop approval for now, unfortunately. We'll put another solution into place later.
Thanks for your patience. Not all noxious invasives are biological.
