For some time now, almost the only traffic on this forum has been the steady stream of spammers attempting to join, in order to plug their websites, or peddle pharmaceuticals / car insurance / steamin' lesbian porn etc. Thus the forum constantly requires a moderator's attention, with virtually no sign of member interest to suggest there might be some point in actually keeping the thing open.

The forum is therefore closed, until further notice.

The site management is investigating alternative, less spammable forum programs, and, if this quest is successful, may attempt to re-establish a new forum here, later this year, at least as a form of visitors' book (which was its original intention).

Meanwhile, the RearEndz website galleries remain open as usual, and - after a long period of neglect - are now being updated frequently.
