how long will the approval process take?

*HOWUUU* (Translation from Lycan: Sorry for the inconvenience)

Sadly, illegal services don't care and always look for means to bypass security. They oft use username generators that throw in 3-digit and 4-digit suffixes. And prior to this, we've had upwards to 50 per day using systems to ignore various protocols. That and the digit users have a nice tendency to use clean IPs not once caught by StopForumSpam or the like, until they have registered at enough locations before becoming 'active'.

HOWEVER, you now have access to your UserCP and may PM me and ask for your USER to be changed after-the-fact to SniffSniff125. THAT... is possible. Just PM me when ready, for I won't do so until you're aware it being done.

And, the approval protocol flagged you as "Fully Registered" a mere 10-15 minutes after you made your INTRO post.
