Switcheroo #2 and other issues
First off, please make sure that your journals are backed up - here I am referring to SI Main. We are going to be working on the switcheroo over the next couple of days and hopefully we will be up and running again soon!
Secondly and perhaps most importantly DO NOT GIVE OUT INVITATION CODES. The site is not open to the public. Just because you have access to the invitation page does not mean you are allowed to use it. Once again, the site is not open to the public so invitation codes should not have been sent out. If you have sent out invitation codes you can inform those people that their accounts will be deleted and purged and they can recreate them when the site is live. And sadly, we will be revoking access to the invitation page so that this does not happen again.

Apparently I was not clear enough and for that I apologize.
We will be doing an investigation into accounts that have been created without permission. One user has admitted already that they have been sending out invitations and this is unacceptable.
I realize that some people may find this rule to be a bit of overkill however with all of the problems we have been having and in an effort to keep things simple while we resolve the problems, the site was to remain closed. The site is closed. What this means is that people should NOT have been sending out invitations. Do not continue to send out invitations.
Should the invitation page be removed? Yes however in the process of updating and moving servers we needed the page to get everyone back up and running.
The fact of the matter is, those that have been created in March will be removed. Anything before that will be investigated.
If you have any concerns please email me at scribblit @ yahoo.ca.

Please see my most recent post for more information and what will be done about the mis-created accounts.
