It's not a decision taken lightly but the openness of the usual board has been attracting more than it's fair share of lunatics, hopefully the people who are genuine enough will have no problem with a 2 minute registration process while those who are just out for the fun of spoiling it for everyone else will not be bothered or will soon lose interest when they are blocked.
The address of the new board is
