 wow you sure got approved fast to post on here. I am still waiting.I guess they don't want me???

 
Sorry guys, didn't think it would be this hard to join a forum.

 You know where to find me.

 Now I can't even use my handle as it is reserved but I am still not approved.

 someone put the coffee on  to wake up the administrator. 2 days waiting for approval is a long time.People might lose interest!

Right at the VERY TOP of the registration form, it says:

"after registering you [b style="font-weight: bold;"]MUST[/b] send us an email using our  handy-dandy  [a  href="../contact.php"]contact form[/a]  requesting that your account be activated. No request from you means no forum access."

Seriously, what part of that seemed unclear??
Did you send an email? Nope.
Did you get forum access? Nope.

Now, since you didn't post your reserved user name here, I have no way of knowing what it is. You could tell me what it is so I could activate your account, or I could start guessing and you could tell me when I get warm.

    When pigs fly" is an idiomatic way of saying that something will never happen. [A onmouseover="pv(event, 15)" onmouseout=unpv(15) href="vny!://www.statemaster.com/encyclopedia/Pig"][FONT color=#32599c]Pigs[/FONT][/A] are heavy animals, without wings, and cannot possibly fly. So "when pigs fly" is a time that will never come.
