This is more than two years now: must be really frustrating for potential new members.

Methinks 'no new users' is the new user experience.

As far as I know, CR4 was created by Chris L under the auspice of Globalspec as a bit of added interest for their subscribers. Things changed a lot when IHS took over.

To what extent people find CR4 via parent company, or vice versa, is anyones guess. My guess, given the time since Hush posted, is that CR4 is not seen as financially advantageous but not worth killing off either because it's impossible to know which way traffic is driven. Around the time things changed CR4 was getting bombed by script kiddies and spam, so maybe just shutting the door is seen as best solution. Since Admin do stuff on their own time I'd be inclined to go that way.

As said, anyones guess. I'll just keep popping in now and again to see what's happening. Free party without even BYOB, but I agree it must be frustrating for people who would like to join and contribute.
