In future all new registrations will be active for 7 days only. New registrations will automatically be placed into the 7 Day Member group.
During that time the various forum subscription offers will be explained to the new member.

If the new member has not taken out a subscription within 7 days their account will be deleted.

This decision has been taken so valuable server and forum resources are not wasted.
It will allow me to concentrate on the those members who actively support the forum.
