Hello

Since we (Air-Child) has moved to the new server the registration process has been temporary switched off.

Below a post from Air-child forum:

This info has been up on the homepage for a short while after we switched servers, but there wasn't any info in the forum, so here's a sticky for whom
it may concern:

Registration for new members has been suspended for now. This is a temporary situation but we also can not give you a precise date of when it will be
open again.
Some background info: After we switched our web server to a new ISP, end of February, we made a few adjustments to the coding, mainly to assure
compatibility with newer PHP and stricter rules of the new system. This also included a change of character encoding for the main website - from ISO
(latin1) character set to the universal UTF8. UTF is the encoding used by the forum software (phpBB), although this wasn't the case when we started
the site in 2008. But from the time phpBB was running on UTF there was always the problem with colliding special characters - mainly because we don't
use phpBB's own registration procedure but replaced it with our own, instead, so that members are automatically registered for the forum when they
sign up for the VA. We included workarounds for that on the old server and now most of that code has to be rewritten, otherwise we would only work
around the workarounds and end up with a mess ....

It was also quite convenient to not have any new members directly after the server switch, only to confuse them with bugs and glitches. So we killed
two birds with one stone. Most things have been fixed by now, but still not all. Getting there...

In short: we still need some more time to adjust the website code before we're going to reopen the registration. Hopefully this will be around end of
April, beginning of May. Please stand by until further notice.


Greetings
