i understand your views as i see you have had a load of crap from anti's.however a closed forum doesnt stop anti's joining! ip addresses dont mean a thing,theyre not personal to an individual user infact hundreds of people may share the same IP.also a closed forum deters people from joining,i for one wouldnt join a forum i couldnt see first! why go through all the rigmeroll of filling out the forms just to see if you like it or not?!
Be an open forum,show we are not ashamed of what we do and what we are.
