New user registration temporarily disabled
The site has been hit this morning with a barrage of new user registrations from what appear to be spam email addresses. Until we can sort this out in the next couple of days, we’ve decided to not allow anyone to sign up for an account that doesn’t already have one.
If you’ve already registered you don’t need to worry – you’ll still be able to log in and comment. If you haven’t, you should still be able to comment by entering your name and email.
We’ll have registration opened back up as soon as we can. If you aren’t spam and you registered today, you’ll unfortunately have to do so again when we resolve the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Join PistonPowered on Facebook
We hear this Facebook thing is the wave of the future, so it’s about time PistonPowered pestered you folks to ‘like’ our badly neglected Facebook page. We promise to pay more attention to it.
You can find links to our posts there, but we’ll also get other discussions there and hopefully get more people in the comments section here. Laser, nuetes, DetroitPCB and Alan can’t be expected to shoulder the load in there every day, you know?
It’s totally worth your while. We already have celebrities such as Detroit Bad Boys bloggers Matt Watson and Brian Packey, ABC12 sports anchor Ryan Slocum and future GLIAC Freshman of the Year DeMarco Sanders from the Ferris State basketball team following us. Who wouldn’t want to join that group?
You can also follow our much more well taken care of Twitter page if you’re not already.
