Well... The site is supposedly up and running on the new server now. I need to do some extensive testing but - (assuming you are a logged-in Member of the site) - please feel free to try uploading stuff, now - if you want to!
I will have a look at re-enabling registrations and log-ins via Google once I have completed testing of the site on the new sever,
In the meantime, if you are having problems logging in to the site with your user name/email address and password, please do email me at vicrolfe@yahoo.co.uk - and I will be pleased to help!
New registrations at artfreaks.com have now been re-enabled. However, in an attempt to minimize the number of spammers trying to get their foot in the door, I have introduced certain restrictions with regards to register-able email addresses and the like.
If you are - or have been having problems with regards to registering a new account, please feel free to email me at:
vicrolfe@yahoo.co.uk
I will be more than happy to set up an account for anyone who seems to be genuinely interested in joining our community of amateur and professional artists and photographers.
Note: Whenever anyone registers a new account with artfreaks.com, they are automatically placed in the New Members group.
New Members have a somewhat limited ability to post in the Forums, upload images in the Gallery, etc., etc... But once they have introduced themselves, posted a comment, or whatever - (basically proving that they are not potential spammers) - they normally get upgraded to the Full Members group pretty quickly.
However, a lot of new registration attempts are made by people or spam bots, just trying out the site to see how easy it is to get in the door. For this reason, any New Member accounts that haven't even been logged into within 72 hours of their membership being approved, will be summarily deleted by the site Admin.
