Since we have been getting so much more attention lately from spammers joining to spam than from legitimately-interested applicants, I've rearranged the site to keep all confirmed member access areas completely separate from the introductory/guest material.
This means that the Prologia category is the only area that will even appear to non-members visiting the site, and those joining without sending me a formal application will still not be able to see (let alone post within) the rest of the messageboard. Only members who have been approved as such and moved up to an enabled membership level will be able to view the discussions, archived materials, links, videos, etc. and participate directly.
This may seem like a high administrative hurdle for people who know that they do want and deserve to be included here, but take heart - it's just to keep out the spam monsters and other trolls, and not to deter those of honest interest and intent.
