Gary:

Yes, emailed Peter via the realskiers site, didn't hear anything back last night.  I don't have a direct email address for Peter and can't check home email from here.

My opinion.  The only thing wrong with this forum is the spam, and the only thing that allows the spam to happen is that the spammers can auto-enroll and create a user account for themselves.  If he disable's the ability for users to create their own accounts, then the spam is mostly gone.  Then that function (creation of new accounts) needs to be assumed by someone (the moderators or an administrator).  I don't believe that is a particularly daunting job, there aren't that many people that actively use the forum, and I would assume that the BB software has capabilities to support this.
