I know you are an active menber of AGW. I lost my account there. First it was scrambled I could not access it. Now it seems to be deleted so I could start anew.
The problem is when I hit registration, I get "currently not accepting registrations".
Not being a member I cannot post about it there...

Could you make a post to that effect please?
Thanks..

miko

Because I've had to ban at least one user, I'm going to go back to manual registration for a while. This will be a temporary (I hope) solution to a problem that I hope doesn't happen again.
To register, follow these steps *EXACTLY*. Failure to comply with this procedure and have patience while it takes place will not be tolerated.

1. Send e-mail to argo@dogfighter.com with the e-mail address you want to register with (no Hotmail, Yahoo, or other free services accepted) and the username you would like, preferably your in-game 6-letter ID.

2. TITLE the e-mail "AGW Registration request". I will be using a filter for e-mail. Anything that's not titled properly will be thrown out.

3a. For squad members, I'll require that your CO vouch for you via e-mail as well. Please title those e-mails "AGW Registration voucher". Misbehavior by a squad member will result in a warning to that member and the CO. Another infraction will result in the banishment of the *entire squad* from AGW.

3b. If you don't belong to a squad, you'll still need to find someone to vouch for you. Warnings and bans will be applied the same way, to the person causing the problem and to the sponsor. I'm sorry if this seems severe, but I simply can't allow the current policy of open registration to continue for the time being.

Please allow 1-2 weeks for me to process the registration. I'm going to do this once a week, so it should be less than a week, but I get to take days off, too.

Questions about this policy should be send to me with the title "AGW Registration question".

Hmm. Interesting. I missed this explanations. Deja, when was it posted?

BTW, I mailed Argo many times during the last year, never got any answers. Maybe he doesn't read his Dogfighter mailbox?

If you go to the Warbirds' general discussion forum there is an announcment in the upper left corner titled "How to Register for AGW (for the time being)". It was posted March 1st, 2001.

Sorry, Miko, haven't been in here today much, missed this thread until now.(Blame it on 1.06 fevor!)

Argo had some problems with his board awhile back, you account may have been one that got hosed, you may have to email him since they're new policy in implemented (see Deja's post) however I must warn you that Argo is not in good spirits these days, evidently a few posts over there have really gotten on his nerves.

Thanks, now the picture is almost complete. It's not because Argo baned me, it's because of another post. I was baned in late December.

To Miko: The reason for ban was not my weird political views.

Where am I supposed to get a sponsor? I am not a member of any squad...
