That *should* actually read

http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/join?coord=*****

www.freebmd.org.uk is the *NEW* server, and any attempt to register an
ID on the new server before it goes live will be deleted
automatically.

Once the new server goes live both freebmd.rootsweb.com and
www.freebmd.org.uk will work.
