***

I'm getting hammered by spammers trying to get access by submitting multiple registrations under varying names, hoping that I'll just let my guard down and let them in.

No way.

So, from now on, entry is strictly by invitation. ANYONE who registers without first receiving an invitation will find that their username is blocked forever.

Any member can sponsor a person and I or another admin will issue the invite.

Liberty Hall is located at http://www.munsil.net/phpBB2/index.php .

Hi Mike,

I write Flash, with an emphasis on SpecFic, and am interested in participating, by both submission and critique in the Liberty Hall challenge. I am not yet a member.

Cheers,

Guy Koehler

I hereby invite you. Please email me with a username and preferred password and preffered email address. Then, go to Liberty Hall and register. Please be sure to use the same username you sent me. You can change the password to whatever you want, of course.

I'll approve your registration and enter your information into our web-database trigger/submittal system. Then I'll email you that your are entered and where to go to see the trigger and submit your flash.

If you get me the info quickly, you'll still be able to flash this time.

Welcome.

They are a great way to flex the writing portions of your brain. I've been MIA over the past two weeks due to a death in the family, but I look forward to next week's flash.

Posted by mikemunsil (Member # 2109) on :

You have my sympathies, pogo. take your time so that you can enjoy yourself when you come back.

Posted by Noctivigant (Member # 2843) on :

I'd like to participate in these flash challenges. I have no experience with writing flash.

It would fit in nicely with my schedule because my writing time has become very restricted lately (college does that).

Posted by mikemunsil (Member # 2109) on :

i'm a little preoccupied right now.

email me early next week and i'll get you in

Posted by Smaug (Member # 2807) on :

Thanks. I'm going to register, but won't be able to participate until mid-week. I've got this article deadline coming up and I've got to do it first.
