I have again removed the link "You Love Us Forum" from Manic Street Preachers because it links to a site that requires registration. In case you are not familiar with Wikipedia's policy on such links, I will copy it here for you, from WP:EL:

A site that requires registration or a subscription should not be linked to unless:

• It is being used as a source,
• The web site itself is the topic of the article, or
• It has relevant content of substantially higher quality than any available from other websites.

I don't believe this link satisfies any of those conditions. -David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 21:50, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
