Is it the security check thing that is not allowing entrance?  That seemed to be the hangup when I tried to create a new account.  I just wanted to make sure. 

I only have moderation powers over content, I cant change the forum settings.  My best guess is that the forums themselves are outdated and it needs to be switched to a newer version which would probably change pricing. 

I just dont see any options from my side to bypass the security check. Sorry.

I know it sucks, but if there are that many new people interested, would setting up a discord server be an idea?  It seems like that is the place most forums are migrating to anyway?
