I understand the reasoning behind closing off registration, but at the same time I think it was somewhat of a foul move, since I don't recall there being any warning that registration would be suspended.
Not only was there the thread posting about why it was being closed off, there was a link to that thread at the top of the entire forum, much like the one right now talking about the poll, for at least 4 or 5 days before we closed registration.
