Due to the number of spammers joining the site lately, I have opted to set registration to Admin Approval only. Sorry for legitimate users who want to join and ask a question--for the time being you will have to wait until approved. In the meantime you can join the Discord server which you can find from the Wall Worm menus under Wall Worm > Wall Worm Get Help > Ask for Help on Discord.

You can also join discord and ask for forum admission.

After over three years of the Admin Approval-only admittance, I finally chose to get a commercial solution to the spam problem. Now new members can now join and post immediately.

Hopefully this revives some activity here. New members dropped to almost zero after that change above as it was too exhausting to sift through the pages and pages of spambot accounts joining to try and find legitimate users.

With the update also comes an update to the forum itself with a nicer WYSIWYG form for posts.
