Hi all, I'm new to this forum :D

Sorry for making my first post a request for support :'( but I have a couple of questions.

I crunch on some projects, and made a team for them too (individually, on each project). Anyways so I came here to turn it into a BOINC wide team and it seems account creation is diabled? I couldnt find the link for registering directly from the teams site, but found this page through google:

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/teams/create_account_form.php

The page says "Unable to handle request
This project is not accepting new accounts" for me.

So my question is if you've disabled account creation (temporarily or otherwise) why havent you announced this somewhere like on the BOINC wide teams website? Or is it that you have a different system for creating BOINC wide teams now?

I'm using version 7.6.9 (x86) of the BOINC client on a Windows 7 ultimate machine if that matters.

Thanks in advance for any help ^_^

It is showing at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/teams/:
July 24 2015: Creation of BOINC-wide teams has been disabled because of spammers. Contact David Anderson if you want to create a BOINC-wide team.

How to contact him shows further down in the text there.
