Guests, Joining & New members
« on: October 22, 2019, 07:13:57 PM »
I have re-enabled the ability for guests to view the forums to see if they are interested in joining and for potential members to sign up.

However, new member applications are subject to manual approval to prevent spammers - several applications have been terminated as spammers & not accepted.

Firenet does not have dedicated 24/7 admins as a free to join service - therefore for genuine joiners please be patient whilst your application is processed when we have time.

For current members - please spread the word to try and build this forum back up!

There are hundreds of spammer applications a day and so a lot of bulk rejecting has to go on. If your user name and email address doesnt stand out as looking 'real' it may get accidentally rejected especially if a gmail, yahoo, or similar address, or a weird looking address or from an odd (or Russian) domain.

If real keep trying and ideally message me so I can let you in!
