We have recently implemented recaptcha to verify edits and registrations are being performed by human operators. So far this has completely prevented spam, which had become a very annoying burden. It is set such that it should not affect registered users, only unregistered users and those registering for the first time. Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
We could really use more contributors! Currently we have four doing a great deal, thanks to TseHa, Frank, and Bill! Thankfully we have a lot of materials to draw from, but we could really use some expertise in the following areas:

- We need you!If you have expertise on any particular pipes, or good pictures of them, we really need your help with developing articles! Please help by clicking on the name, then the Edit tab, and adding the information and photos you have.
- Tobacco: We are looking for an experienced blender, hopefully with recognizable high credibility, to help develop and oversee this section).
- Meerschaum: The sub-section we have should link to a separate article with lots of information pertaining to all aspects of Meerschaum smoking and collecting and sub-articles on the various carvers and companies.
