Valerie, your website was the most up to date one and I am sure many many fans appreciated it. Thanks for the work you did for us fans over all those years and maybe there's a glimpse of hope you'll reconsider and put it back online 
And so say all of us!!!
@TheWatchman & BILLW:
We could change the forum in a way that only registered users can post and that during the registration process the validity of the email is checked. However, this will also result in a more restricted access to the forum and would not automatically prevent entry for persons with malicious intents ("flamers", "trolls" etc) as they could simply start a free email adress with yahoo.com or hotmail.com and still get access to the forum, while making access for everyone else harder too. Therefore, unless we get flooded by stupid and unsuited postings, I'd like to keep access as easy as possible.
how does having to be registerd make access harder sorry Florian I just don't get that. There are far to many irregulars posting here IMHO and it would be useful if the procedure for membership made it mandatory to provide a genuine e-mail addy with an e-mailed confirmation response to be actioned before posting
The e-mail addy has to be verified . There are far too many trolls on the Newsgroup who registered (with Google groups possibly)using fictitious addys
harlene is doing a wonderful job at looking after our community and is very swift at catching inappropriate content.
Quite so and If only she could learn how to post pictures she would be perfection personified!!
Last but not least, should you have any concerns or suggestions about the forum or the website, please send me an email at: webmaster@corfid.com
[I]Wasn't it nice to see the name Florian s(spelt correctly) appear in a topic not once but three times.Welcome back "boss"
And such quick action to delete those quite nauseating posts from the trolls. If only it were that easy on the Newsgroup!
and I think we can all forgive The genuine Watchman's language this one time
