What is the scoop behind the forum over at Practical Backpacking? You have to be a member to read a full posting, but they are not accepting new membership right now? WTF? Is it run by the Stonecutters or something?
What possible philosophy could that abide by? How could this forum be soooooo different?

I heard that if you do apply for "membership" you have to give some person details about yourself. Anybody know what those are?

Thanks
