Why Johnny Can't Register

[Zeke]

I've said this in at least one other thread now, but let me emphasize again that we are aware of the registration problem. It has to do with how our mail settings changed after the server move. I contacted the Trek Nation's tech guy over a week ago, but for whatever reason he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'm going to see if Christian can get his attention for me. In the meantime, I'm afraid you'll just have to keep posting unregistered -- but rest assured we are working on it.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Who's Johnny? (that was a rhetorical question and an attempt at humor)

awww poor Johnny! Put the gun away!

two points to whoever can get that reference![/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Hm... Farscape by any chance? Otherwise I don't know.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Euhm... I'm Johnny. :eyeroll: Somehow, I forgot about this problem and tried to change my e-mail adress again on this board. Now I can't post anymore with my account.

Hehe, well. "Een ezel stoot zich over het algemeen, ..." Cat, you finish it. [/colorost_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]But are you? A donkey I mean. :eyeroll:

Anyway, why can't you post after changing your e-mail address? [/colorost_uid0]

[admiral sab]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]nope. Johnny got a gun... (that's a song)

the first one was to the song "Who's Johnny?" from Short Circuit. Yes I'm a child of the 80's.[/colorost_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Actually, the song is "[iost_uid0]Janie[/iost_uid0]'s Got a Gun." It's by Aerosmith.

I believe the original case of "Why Johnny Can't X" is the book [iost_uid0]Why Johnny Can't Add[/iost_uid0] by Morris Kline, the classic argument against the New Math.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Well, obviously I'm not. Don't you know the saying?

After changing your e-mail adress, you must wait for a confirmation mail. And since there's something wrong with the mail system...[/colorost_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Of course I know the saying, but since you aren't a donkey, you're allowed to make the same mistake twice. Did you have problems with it before, then? Or are you planning to do it again six months from now? [/colorost_uid0]

LOL Really? All these years I thought it was Johnny that had the gun! I can't believe that, my whole existence up til now is just a lie!

Thanks for clarifying that, Zeke. No wonder the joke made no sense. Oy.

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Yes, I made the same mistake before. I suppose I thought it would have been fixed by now.[/colorost_uid0]

[mudshark]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I'm not sure, but I think the "Why Johnny can't ..." comes from [iost_uid0]Why Johnny Can't Read"[/iost_uid0].

The gun business could have come from the 1971 movie [iost_uid0]Johnny Got His Gun[/iost_uid0], footage from which was used in Metallica's video for their song "One".[/colorost_uid0]

[admiral sab]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]yep that's what I was thinking!

Erm...sure.[/colorost_uid0]

[Zeke]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]The registration problem is fixed! Forum emails are now being sent properly, so if you've tried to register, check your email now and see if you've been sent an approval message. If not, just register again.[/colorost_uid0]

[catalina_marina]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Hooray! We're getting new members again! [/colorost_uid0]

[Opium]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]What if, while this was going on, Johnny (Depp) couldn't register, but wanted to? What then?
