The administrator at BGBP posted a comment that he generally doesn't approve anyone who doesn't provide a location. There have been a couple of shutdowns caused by hackers / spammers, and he's pretty careful about approvals.
 
I tried to register months ago and haven't received my confirmation mail, sent a few emails but no reply.

I just thought they didn't like Scottish people ;)

Every time this has happened in the past a moderator has told me that not enough info was given by the applicant, and he is doing all he can to eliminate possible spammers and such. I have no way of knowing why you are having trouble there, but I did want to pass that along to you.
 
I think we're in the same boat stevieDee,

I registered back in April and got a confirmation email "pending admin". After not hearing anything for a while, I sent an email to the site admin letting them know I was a real person, and asking to check in case my account was missed. I did only register with my name and email.

After reading this thread, I re-registered mid May with full location and details, received the "pending admin" notice.....nothing as of this date. It is an interesting site that I do check to read if there is anything new, but don't go there as much now.
 
Hello Stevie and Erich :) . I PM'ed BossDawg BassHawg at BGBP. I hope he can get you installed as members. There are a bazillion spammers that attack the site all-the-time and BassHawg is constantly fighting them off. He also has a real-job and is busy but I bet he will take care of things for you :D .
 
I heard back from BassHawg at BGBP ..... "knoxville bill" and "StevieDee" are now registered and good to go :) . But BassHawg doesn't know the registered user name of "Erich Bruning" so he is not activated yet. Any help here Erich ?? Let us know and you will also be good to go.

Maybe this will help others in the future ..... a quote from The Boss .... "I don't "Activate" users without a town, and or state. Its easier to keep things in check."
 
OK Folks :D ....... Erich is now activated. Mike, I sent a message to BassHawg at BGBP to see if we can't get you activated. I bet Hawg will take care of it .... He is a busy guy. Try signing in over the next couple days and I think you will be a genuine BGBP Basser real soon.
