Someone on FB was having issues becoming a member. Here is a screen shot of the message. They also tried multiple emails with out success.
I'll notify Stefan. Might just be a forum glitch. There is no reason the forum would be closed. I did see some new members that joined today so it might be intermittent problem.
Hard to say what the issue is. Ask them to email me and i will create their account. maverick@maverick.to
