Attention: Due to an increase in spammers all new members start out as probationary members. You will only be able to start a welcome post in the welcome new members forum. You can reply to all other posts. Once you have reached 5 posts you will be a full member and can start topics. We apologize for the inconvenience but spammers are becoming a real problem. We are also experiencing problems with new members receiving activation emails. We are manually activating new members. Please be patient with us. We will activate your membership within 24 hours of registration. People planning to register for membership with The Handloaders Bench. We had to block gmail addresses from registering here for our member’s security and protection, because spam bots have been using gmail a lot to cause problems. You can use a free hotmail or yahoo address to register and receive the activation email. After your membership has been activated, you will be able to change your email back to your gmail address in your account under the menu button at the top of the forum. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might cause. HB Admin

I found this site while searching for information on custom barrel makers. While I have reloaded for over 50 years I feel there is a wealth of good information from others out there. Always searching for that flea sized group.

Why would anyone do this?As Bill says, it has happened, and not just on this site.  Whether or not there is an  e-mail function attached to the site (and often enough there is) spammers and hackers like to use whatever they can gin up for their purposes, and often use a real site's name to fool e-mail filters into thinking the message is legitimate.  I think it is called "spoofing" but can't remember.  (Suffering from CRS this morning.)
