Signing up for Rowing Illustrated?

Post by TheRocketeer » April 13th, 2013, 6:33 pm

Anyone ever have trouble signing up for the boards on Rowing Illustrated? For some reason I've never gotten through the registration process, and when I email the admins for help, I've never gotten a response. Anyone have any idea?

I'm glad to know that it's not JUST me that has had the problems with RI, but I'm sorry you're having the same trouble. If only there were a way to communicate with RI....

I've tried 3 times and even personally emailed the moderator with no reply. Apparently, I'm not a "real rower".

arrogant pricks.

Heck, I donated a little on the last support Rowing Illustrated thread they had.

They still won't accept me.

:p

I hesitate to think it's intentional, since it appears that there is a constant stream of new usernames popping up on there, often from unknown programs. If they are discriminating with reference to the creds of the registering individuals, they're doing a bad job of it...

I guess those folks must be "real rowers"

Somehow this makes me think of Oscar Wilde's famous quote.
