We’ve decided to move from phpBB and onto a forum designed specifically for our blog so only one registration is required for both, just sign up here for the blog and you can post comments to the stories and the forum.

The new forums aren’t as feature rich as the old but we were not happy with the double registrations and definitely not happy with the hoops we had to jump through to ward of the spammers.
