Something happening with the web site?

I know there have been some back up issues of late but...<br /><br />I've also notices that there are no new members joining in quite a while and that is odd. Because there is always a trickle signing up- make a point to post in every guest book of every new sign up- this is why I know that something is off and its gone on long enough to be really odd.<br /><br />Also there has been no spam for me to delete in this period as well.<br /><br /><br />Something happen with the site and now no one new can join? Did a new anti spam measure block new sign ups?<br /><br />
