When you submit your request for membership, it must be approved. I check it daily.
Some time back, we got attacked by an auto-spam that attached itself to each thread. I therefore, require new members to respond to an e-mail sent to the address they registered simply stating that they are indeed a real person and fan. If I don't hear back, I cannot approve them. Since some folks don't use/check e-mail addresses these days, I'm going to sticky this so folks browsing will be aware of the requirement. I figure that a second e-mail to those not responding would net about the same as the first.
So just respond to the e-mail titled " From the Admin at 5Guitars" and you'll be approved right away...we'd love to have you.
Occasionally I clear out the names of applicants who don't respond to my e-mail to confirm their membership. It's probably a long shot but those using the following names have not been approved for that reason.
