It's very simple. Spam. Spam. And more spam.

I can either curate and share great content or I can manage spam. I don't have the time to do both.

I was getting a few to dozens of spam registrations each day.

I have opened the commenting option to people who already had a registered account and who I know are not spammers.

At some point I may open registration for a brief period of time (like literally 30 minutes). If you want an account so you can like, follow, and comment, please send me an email and let me know.

Enjoy the great content I bring you. If you appreciate the work I put into this, feel free to donate to support me and my site.

Thank you!
