Due to an ongoing aggressive spam wave, newly registered accounts will require approval by a mod until further notice. Sorry for the inconvenience, we don't like this either.

We've reopened the registration and will monitor the situation closely.

Fingers crossed. 
thx again for the help Ewald
It's fine (passt schon)
Sadly it's starting again, so for now until further notice new accounts will require approval by staff.
After several days of no spamming attempts, we've removed the approval requirement again. Let's hope things stay calm.

Sadly we just got hit by another severe spam wave, which apparently is becoming a pattern during the summer months. As a consequence, new accounts will once more require approval by staff until further notice.
The spam wave is so aggressive that this doesn't work yet, so back to invite only it is.

Things look better again, we've reopened the registration, but will require staff approval for newly registered accounts for now.
