@Teka
I registered on XCTalk, what a nightmare.
Captcha is like the hell on the internet, but after around 20 times finally

Couldn't turn off the information/news spam thingy.
No confirmation E-mail, after registration people are left in some registration black-hole.
But after all i can login, but wait, there is more

can't post anything.
The forum registration nightmare is a great way to scare off new XC-addicts.
Actually it went to your spam filter. Oh and you can't post because you have to be validated.
