The week is up and during the past week while the forum was unlocked...
we had only 3 new members join.    

For the week when the forum was locked, we had 10 new members join.  That is a bit more than 3 times as many.   For some reason, this forum does not gain new members quite as fast with the forum unlocked, and since getting new members is #1 priority, I had to put it back the way it was. :sorry: :sorry: :sorry:

<waiting for townspeople to grab their pitchforks and torches and form an angry mob, ready to burn me at the stake.  Just like they did when they suspected someone of being a witch....>
