they can't post.

they can register but not post.

spam bots don't get approved for posting, and once in a blue moon, i login and kill off 80-90% of the junk users directly from the database.

Everytime someone makes an account I get an email telling me so. That email is then forwarded to my phone telling me so, I love the 5+ messages I get a day between midnight and seven am. I know I can turn that feature off but then I wont know when someone sends me a message!

I don't know why they are keeping you VM alive, although I know they check it regularly ... I keep getting calls from them about what to do???

The job market is tight right now, not a lot available, but I will keep my eyes open.

How long did you loose your lic. for ???
