New users can create accounts, but they can't post by default. They need to be manually enabled for posting. I don't have time/energy/patience to micro-manage new user accounts so I may turn that wicket off. I'm willing to try it but if the spam gets to be too much, I'm going to turn new account posting back off.

If you want to make your p3n1s larger or buy some xan@x, this may be a bonanza for ya.
