Firstly let me apologise for being a little tardy in putting some information here. I have noticed in the logs that some visitors have been getting an Access Denied response when attempting to view the forum.

I think that this may be due to there not being anything here to read. The consequence of this is that the first visitors need to create some content but they don’t have the required permissions causing the Access Denied flag to go up.

You are very welcome to contribute to the forums but you do need to be registered. It’s very simple to do and takes just a moment.  Make sure you use a genuine email address because you will have to confirm your registration.

I need to do this to prevent link spamming from automated programs.  You will also find that sometimes you will be asked to prove you are a human not an automated program.  I use a captcha system for this and it is based on a number of variables so it doesn’t trigger all the time.

I have also implemented the ICRA system of labelling on this site, see the link below for more information, this means that I will, at my sole discretion, delete or edit any posts which have either been flagged by others or identified by me as not fitting the standards of ICRA.  Be warned.

Regardless, I also enjoy a lively debate so I have no issue with differing opinions as such, just the way some people like to express them.  This is a site for writers and readers, demonstrate your writing ability and your ability to express yourself in the forums as well as your books.
