Possible that your posting is deleted. In the time the poll is runnig are
postings not possible. But you can used our second forum (Arena Event Forum).
Please add your message in "Poll-Thread". Thanks for your interest !!

The idea is good but we don't have interest to give automatically passwords with
"Artist names". It's more personality to make it from hand because we will speak
with our members and to make to many things automatic is in my opinion not the
right way.

This is right, only the POLL is still running.
But we have a second forum for questions around Arena in the time the poll is
running.

That would be nice!

Yes!
Without password protection.
An other way to contact Arena Support!
But we await the users writes with the full name.

You are every time welcome Geoff.
But I will not see any posting in the time the poll is running.
Only posting to the still running poll!

Do you really know what Martin is thinking?
I believe my words are enough, let Martin work on his GUI.

We are very happy that to many persons help us in Arena development. But the
situation with "Ghostwriters" and "Mails" are not longer to accept for us.

We hope that the Arena Support Forum is for a long time interesting because we
have much ideas but we need time to do it and we have no interest to send 100
mails daily to persons where are members in our fora or other persons. We have
no interest to sitting each day 30 minutes for make the password support for
nothing. This is really easy to understand and now we will see ... "How are our
members".

Best
Frank
