To prevent the existing users and their posts from being deleted, we recommend the following guidelines for existing accounts: <br><br>a. accounts need to have a valid email address, <br>b. only one account can exist for a given email address, and <br>c. accounts must have at least one post. <br><br>Please check and edit your accounts for compliance with items above <strong>prior to February 11, 2010.</strong> Questions can be sent to <a href="mailto:webmaster@albacore.org">webmaster@albacore.org</a>. We apologize in advance to the multiple e-mails you will receive in coming days as we manage this migration process. We hope it results in a better and more spam-free service. <br><br>For those who read, but don't make posts, you must make one post to the forum before the date or you will lose your account and have to reset it up. I will create a topic called "One Migration Post" where you can make a one word post to preserve your account (with apologies to all who will receive notice of these posts). <br><br>Those without valid e-mail address should enter forum and click on the profile button at top of page to add an address. <br><br><strong>The following accounts do not have a valid email address:</strong> <br>1443, 1bigmax, AAnewguy, Alen D.
