Forestry forum

    Tried to register over there yesterday and I never get a confirmation email, so I tried again, and same thing. Does it take like a week or something? Only reason I posted here is because It seems like they have a pretty active milling section.

Odds are that if he tried to register, and did not get a proved right away, is that he didnt read the registration notes on how to make sure we know he isnt a spammer trying to get in. The spammer's are a tricky lot, so its a never ending battle to stop them. When registering, the person must give a reason for joining that lets up know that they are a real person wanting to be part of the group.

At the top of the registration page there is the following text. If you just blow by it, odds are you won't get approved.

**IMPORTANT NOTES**
FIRST YOU MUST BE HUMAN, AND BE ABLE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND THE CONTENT BELOW OR YOU WILL BE REJECTED.
