If you try to register in the forum with a hotmail or gmail address, you'll registration will be "rejected".
Why? Sadly, these two email providers are responsible for about 90% of the spam registrations we get. We have to manually review every registration we get, so disallowing registrations with gmail or hotmail addresses cuts down on a lot of work.
So, please register with a different email address and you should have no trouble. If you do pick a name or email address that doesn't work, send an email to jhamann@velocompdotcom and we will take care of it.
NOTE: if you have registered previously with a gmail/hotmail address, ALL IS WELL. You don't have to do anything, and your registration is 100% valid.
