Is there something in place to eliminate a registration after a period of inactivity? Or would that be counter-productive?

Leave the porn sites in for the off-season :-)

Not really, Chris. This is 'off the shelf' software. There are certainly a wide variety of user designed hacks out there for various uses, but a lot of them are a bitch to install and are quite buggy. I've installed just about every reliable anti-spammer solution out there, but they still find ways in.

Just to clear somethings up for those people who are saying that the Amherst basketball team is a bunch of preppy rich kids.....if you have had the chance to actually meet them then you would know that they are a bunch of hard working good kids. I watched them play several times this year and was extremely expressed...some of their games are more entertaining then UMass games.

They have alot of scholarship level players on their team and should be the favorites to repeat next year as national champs.

Their big kid, Hopkins, is fantastic, I would rather have him on the UMass roster then a few we will have next year.

That being said, I dont think that they could beat UMass in a game but it would be closer then most would expect.
