Any new members reading this message who have not yet posted their intro message will now need to do so by posting a new discussion thread in our Introductions forum.
Your account will be activated/upgraded shortly after posting your introduction thread.
Posting into this thread or in other threads which are not your own will no longer work for activating and unlocking the rest of the forums for new accounts (you will receive a no permissions message if you try).
You are welcome to post messages into introduction threads made by other members, but will only be able to do so after your own account is activated/upgraded.
This change was made on May 5, 2010.
I'm closing this thread since it will no longer be used for its previous intended purpose.
