Shabbona Lake Fish Tails Discussion Page Update

I have spent the last two days cleaning up Fish Tails.  In order to solve our issue I have deleted all users who have not logged in for 365 days.  Several of these user accounts had been hacked and were causing us problems.  There were over 700 of these accounts. 

The forum has also been locked down and will only be viewable once a user registers.  While the user is waiting to be approved they will be able to see the forum, but they will not be able to post.  I will keep an eye on new user registrations daily and get new users approved quickly.  Once they are approved, they will get an email that tells them they have full access.

Below is the message that un-registered/guests will see when they go to www.shabbonalake.com/forums

All in all, I think this will make for a more active community moving forward.
