Turned off Account Registration
In the last year or so the only new accounts have been made by spammers. I have turned off (I think?) account registration except by Sysops. If any genuine user wishes to register an account then contact tux at the OESF forums. It is still possible to register an account there.Tux 18:55, 13 June 2012 (EDT)
