A serious problem!

I have been corresponding with a guy who goes by Phosphoros, who contacted me through Soundclick. He has created several remixes of Beasties songs, and desperately wants to sign up on these boards. This is the email he just sent me:

Hi, the problem is that the admins have disabled new registrations.
I'm
not the only one with the problem. No one can sign up now. It's been
this way for weeks. If you look at the user stats, you'll see 100-500
guests at any given time. That's because all of these people can't
register.

Well, I've set up a forum for people who can't register. I hope it
catches on, cause there are alot of people out there who want to talk
B-Boys that don't really have a good forum. My "unoffical"
forum is
here: http://s7.invisionfree.com/BeastieFans/
I just set it up last night and tried to model it after the official
forum. It's not a permanent solution, but it could help some fans
communicate.

Peace,
Reggie

This is a serious problem. Is there an explanation for this that I am missing?

We're not allowing new registrations at this time - given the overload we have with presale dates being announced. We'll bring it back soon...
