Over the past months our members have been flooded with scam offers, fake groupbuys, impersonators and throwaway accounts created only to rip people off. Bans alone don't stop this: a banned scammer simply signs up again a minute later. To protect the community we've closed open registration.

Joining requires a one-time registration fee of $5. It's a small amount for a real member, but it makes spam and scam accounts expensive, and every ban actually costs something. It is not a subscription and there are no hidden costs: you pay once and your account stays unlocked.
