It would appear that silence is the only answer I'm going to get.

Ah, my dear FMU. That really is the question, isn't it?

I agree!! This new "CLUB" deal is rediculous!! To exclude many who have made these boards what they are, is beyond me. They state many times about the great wonderful members..blah blah blah, however many of them are being basically tossed off to the side in lieu of this exclusive club. Here's what a lot of us are doing to try and keep our friends who are non-US/Canada residents...we American/Canadian's are providing addresses for those who need them to register with the club. If that don't work I say we all protest these boards...

To "Admin AE:"

I regret that I must agree with the poster above who refuses to register because of your changed programming. As a participant of your online community since May 1999, I am offended by your exclusion of persons of other nationalities beyond the US and Canada, with some of whom I have enjoyed a long correspondence, nor will I support the continued degradation of what was once a respected and innovative network for the current trailer-park style of programming you offer. Once this "change" takes place, I must regretfully stop participating. I only wish I could believe that anyone at your...er...organization...cared what your former audience thinks.

maybe they are just collecting addresses?

Im in US and registered there first...they sent e-mail confirmation and I clicked the link...went back to sign in...lets me do that but everytime I click a link there..such as the poll and triva..it brings me back to login in...there must be some tech problems???

Can anyone help with this matter?

Thanks
