Obligatory back on topic post, in light of Atryl's community guidelines ;)

No worries! Two things:

1. I am in the process of working on them, and while not done yet due to said stuff I'm busy with, plan to be put a chunk of time into it and finish both albums this weekend for sure. Someone hold me to that.

2. I'm partially holding back because I know the site isn't fully optimized yet to handle a large amount of new applicants; steps needed before we start our full-sclae advertising include updating the FAQ and implementing a new and improved account registration page. Unfortunately, these are things only Atryl can do; we're in touch and as soon as he gets those done, I'll be ready to start with the advertising (after consulting with the community, of course).

TL;DR: Will be done this weekend, someone poke Atryl ;)

I will hold you to that. I've not seen Atryl on for a wee while but thats probably due to my time difference, so bleh. I'm sure he's busy.

I'm sure we wont get a shitload of people online at once, we do need new players while its still summer, best time to recruit :)

What it is is that, currently, we get a number of bots that spam account requests. Now, generally, they are fairly easy to distinguish because the account names are gibberish. But then you will get a bot that has a normal-ish name, and you're not sure. Or, as has happened, we get a real applicant that has an unusual name and we're not sure either.

While this is only really annoying when we have our current trickle of applicants, I believe it will be more pressing if we get, say, a dozen account requests and some bot ones withing a short period of time. Add to this the fact that the improved registration form, taken from the one on the old forums, also serves the fantastic purpose of letting us know a lot more about the applicant through a couple questions they can answer.

So while this isn't 100% crucial, I still consider it upwards of 90%. And then we have the FAQ, which needs to be updated before we have applicants come. So these two together are my justification for waiting; neither modification should take a great deal of time or effort, so as soon as Atryl finds a reasonable window of time we're set.

Bottom line is: Atryl get what is needed sorted asap so we can get new applicants. Good lad.
Thanks for the detailed reply Nicholas!
