Well here we are in August 2018 nearly 15 years after the release of Lost In Translation! WOW!
To recap: I had to turn off registration and put a post up about emailing me to request registration due to spam registrations.
I used to get emails from people asking to register. I would register them manually. However over the last few years 99% of those people never posted anything or maybe posted once or twice.
Now I hardly get any requests at all.
There was a time when the board was more active.
Periodically there is activity with current members.
But I don't see any point anymore in registering new users. There is really nothing more for unregistered users to see than what registered users do.
Based on this, I am closing registration.
The forum will stay open indefinitely of course

Current members may continue discussion.
The general public may enjoy the archive of thorough, detailed and thoughtful discussion (and the occasional flame war
