User account

Site Registration Rules Revised July 27, 2007 1. A valid email account must be used when registering. Failure to do so will result in your request being deleted. 2. Your username must make some sort of sense to me. If you try to register using a random string of characters, or a username so cryptic that I go "huh?", then it will be deleted. So those of you using bots and registering with usernames like "MNLEKndafNefNKseflnaf", for obvious reasons, I'm assuming this is a spam registration and it's being deleted. If your name really is MNLEKndafNefNKseflnaf then you have my sympathy and if you still want an account you'll have to send me an email directly. 3. No users whose email addresses have a .ru (Russia) suffix will be accepted. They are deleted without prejudice because every one that has tried to register has been a confirmed spam account. If you really do have a .ru hosted mail account then you will have to contact me directly (via email) in order to register. 4. Anyone who registers and then posts spam will have all of their postings deleted and their account removed. There will be no trial and no appeal. I expect people to know what constitutes spam and if it gets posted then I will take steps. 5. This is a family friendly site, or at least a PG-13, sometimes R, rated site. No explicit sex or yiff. Anything like that which is posted will be removed. I'm the sole decider as to what constitutes too much so if I feel something crosses the line that's the decision that stands. Repeated abuse of this, such as reposting the same story/article after it's been removed, will result in account termination.

Note: if you have an account with one of our affiliates (Drupal), you may login now instead of registering.

Your preferred username; punctuation is not allowed except for periods, hyphens, and underscores.
A valid e-mail address. All e-mails from the system will be sent to this address. The e-mail address is not made public and will only be used if you wish to receive a new password or wish to receive certain news or notifications by e-mail.
