Due to the sheer number of spam showing up in the ARS system, we have decided to clean it out. The first phase is already under way with more than 2000 diaries containing spam in the top level content cleaned out. The corresponding users have been disabled. However, I suspect that I have also taken out about six to eight legit ones. So if a) you have created your account after 1st Sep 2009, and b) your diary did not have any posts, you may see that your account has been disabled as a spammer. That being the case, please email activemods at this domain to get your account reenabled.

Thanks,
Mekkanik Mike.
