There is a reason we have a process in place for registration. "God" only knows who this is that just tried to register a few minutes ago....but for a good laugh give this # a call .

Many folks have been put off by our registration process with the info that is required. I feel it's necessary to try to keep the rats from coming in under the door. It's not perfect but it's better than most systems.

Wow.....so I just spoke with Ike on the phone. He really is the guy that used to do the Hobbyinsider. He and I had a good talk and he totally understands why I thought this was not legit. He said he was asleep and had some kind of "movies" voicemail set up. So the recording we got wasn't him it was some sort of parody or something of a yelling preacher saying he wouldn't pay his bills or taxes or something. I dunno....strangest registration I have seen yet but ...WELCOME aboard, Ike.

Well, it was an honest mistake and I can see how he came to that conclusion. My phone was in the office on vibrate mode, so it didn't disturb anyone. Glad I was able to entertain while sleeping

Don't worry "rats" we have a demerit system setup and Leon will soon be receiving a letter from whichever Net54 lawyer chooses to represent you. It's not going to help your collection any, but you might end-up with a free cool t-shirt. Welcome aboard.

Lovely day...

Since when do good things come from situations that start out so seemingly suspicious? This is NOT the Net54 that I know. For shame. For shame.

I know, I know, Jodi. I am all verklempt.....I think Autocut is going to fit right in with us though. He (hey autocut) certainly has a good attitude even after 25 calls and when we spoke on the phone.
