But seriously, has that been the problem this whole time? With how many people we've had legitimately show up and post a few things before vanishing over the years since I first found this site in 2003 (couldn't get an account here initially because of some technical issue I had myself, the nature of which I apparently can't recall), I found it suspicious that the board has said our newest member is "Senaidiktewart" for like two years now. I assume that is when everyone lost the ability to confirm a password for a new account or change a password on an existing account. I know this came up before, but I assumed that someone else had looked into it.
I harbor no delusions that this place is going to become livelier again if the issue is fixed, but it would still be nice. Actually, I'm also curious as to why there's a problem at all. XenForo isn't deprecated and I know Ed was using this site to test stuff for it, so one would think that we'd be good to go. I blame Spiderman preemptively.
