Registering to forums-but no result

[Bigfoot]

Over the years I've registered to a few forums that didn't take. I can't log on there so I can't contact the administators or even mods to correct the problem. What can I do?

A few months ago I registered on the Hi-Point forum. I'm on the member list there but my account is still inactive. Dead in the water.:banghead:

Last week I registered on the two Kel-Tec forums, KTOG.org and Kel-Tec Range, but I misspelled my email address. Reregistering with the correct address didn't help. More deadness.:banghead:

Many forums have had to implimant qa procedure were you register, an e-mail is sent to the address you have provided, and only after you correctly reply to the e-mail will an account work correctly.
This is mainly to limit bots from opening hundreds of spurious accounts.
If you messed up and e-mail address you may even be blocked as a spoofer or spammer since bad addresses aer one of their big identifiers.

I also have heard of people having trouble registering from certain types of e-mail accounts (like Gmail or hotmail, for example). Don't think it's much of an issue with vBulletin boards, but maybe some other types.

I tried 5 times to get into Rimfire Central, then just gave up.

I've been waiting about 8 months for a reply at the Kel-Tec range. I am not holding my breath.
