FYI Newzbin isn't taking on new members any more, and no news on when they will be.

With immediate effect, we are no longer accepting any new user signups/registrations.
Why are we doing this?
The primary reason is that we simply feel we have enough members now. The hardware behind the site is not going to cope with much more load without significant overhaul, and we want to keep the site quick and responsive for our existing members.
Additionally, we are finding that we're getting to the stage where we're physically unable to respond in a timely manner to all the emails we get - most of them are from new members. By stopping new signups, the amount of emails we get will hopefully decrease - giving us time to work on the new Newzbin site instead.
We may move to a restricted signup (probably 10 or 20 per day, something like that) in the future if it looks workable, or perhaps a "introduce a member" scheme. We'd be happy to read suggestions along those lines - please feel free to comment.
