HOW CAN I GET THE PASSWORD?
That's a good question. Follow these simple rules, and you can't go wrong.
1. CONTRIBUTE TO THE FORUM.
We don’t base our membership decisions on a specific number of posts or an arbitrary waiting period. Instead, we base it on how well we know you. Some people earn their membership quickly, while others do not.
This is a forum, a place where people gather to discuss ideas and share opinions, to debate, to argue, to inform. We don't care whether you express yourself more eloquently than F. Scott Fitzgerald or with the literary ineptitude of a Taiwanese-to-English instruction manual; we want to read what you have to write. You'd be surprised at how many of us initially came here just to take the comics and run, but ended up staying on because we made the happy discovery that posting can be...well, fun. We regard a contribution as anything of interest that you can put in a post. It might be just a few sentences, a picture, a non-erotic comic, or a link to an interesting Web site. All posts are equal here, providing you haven't made them deliberately short, trite, and multitudinous in order to raise your post count in the briefest time possible. We don't, for example, regard a comic post more highly than a comment post. Further, how you contribute, and which section or sections of the forum you contribute to, are entirely up to you. The mods and admins watch all sections and will notice your efforts.
2. DON’T ASK FOR THE PASS.
We periodically take a look at posters who are up for membership and make a decision. We don’t follow a schedule and we don’t always approve all ‘newbies’ the first time around. If you ask for the pass, or call attention to your good posting, or ask when we might make a decision, you will only make us suspicious that you want to get into the full members’ sections to strip them and disappear. That’s not why we’re here. We’re a community, and we want to select posters who are likely to stick around and be part of that community. In fact, we have several full members who haven’t got the slightest interest in comics and were amused to be given membership status -- they simply liked hanging around and chatting with the other posters.
OTHER USEFUL STUFF:
PASSWORDS:
We periodically change the members’ password. As we're not about to hand out pass after pass to members who've stopped posting or who make one post a month, receiving the pass is no guarantee that you will always get one. We are prepared to make the odd exception to this rule, however, depending on individual circumstance. So if you know you’re going to be absent for awhile, please try to let us know.
MEMBERSHIP LIST:
In the post directly below this is a list of forum members who've been given or are entitled to get the pass. Member names will be added to it from time to time, so you might want to check it once in a while to see whether yours has been included. If it has, and if your member profile doesn't give your email address, please post the address in this thread so we can email the pass to you.
SITE AND BOARD LINKS:
Full members may post a link to their own FREE site and/or board, as a posting signature. PAYSITE links, whether to your site or board, are definitely NOT welcome and go against the spirit of this board. They will be deleted and you’ll be asked to change your signature.
PERSONAL PICTURES:
Non-full members may not post personal pictures of themselves or friends in any section. This is for yours and their security and protection. Any personal pictures posted outside of the full members’ sections will be deleted! If you want to post a personal picture please wait until you are a full member -- we have an album for that.
