Okay, found out the hard way that a component of the site is somewhat screwy.

If you signed up for the site but didn't reply to the first email confirmation it sends out, then I have been (unintentionally) sending you "reminders" to complete the registration.  Unfortunately, although the reminders are configured to go out every two days up to six (and then stop), they've been going out on a nearly nonstop four hour basis!  And adding insult to injury is that the reminder emails are not going out with any useful text, saying things like "you still need to complete your registration with !sitename as user !username with a temporary password of !password".

Ugh.

So, for the six or seven of you caught in that loop, I sincerely apologize, and plan to have this fixed sometime this weekend.

For anyone signing up for the site for the first time, please take care to respond to the first email that goes out to you to confirm your account and you won't have to worry about this.  I personally plan to track down the person who wrote the "reminder" code and flog them viciously.  With a shoe.

And in other news, although I'd planned on buying piqnic.com, it turns out that some company is squatting on that domain and has yet to respond to my emails.  Bummer.
