User Registration, Spam and Message Approval

From October to November 2009, we had massive problems with spam in our forums. Therefore, we did not answer the forum questions for a couple of weeks. Sorry for that.

We deleted and cleaned up the forums, but our hope, that this would reduce the spamming activity was wrong. In fact the number of spam posts increased to nearly 10.000 before we finally gave up.

We now:
- require registration, so you cannot post anonymously anymore
- we moderate all threads and all forum messages.

We try to review and approve the forum messages on a daily basis, however depending on our other activities, it sometimes may take longer. I hope that this is in the interest of all users and that this will improve the quality of the forums.
