    so you would be easily identifiable, citizen. it's for your protection.

    btw, i entered Jer's real name, I suggest you do the same.

    crap, and i thought random letters was the good call. fail.
    Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

    It was per my request. I was having a hard time figuring out who everybody was. Seriously though, the new forum kinda sucks.

    Yeah, it was a mildly annoying waste of my time which required me (after entering my full pseudonym: Grigory Rasputin) to reenter the thread I was trying to post in; fortunately I had saved my post, or I probably would have overreacted in some sort of screaming tantrum at the computer screen.

    It would not let me into new posts without fill the damned fields out. Wasn't the point people couldn't find out your real name making it possible to be a real cunt while posting?

    I decided the screaming tantrum was the way to go after all.

    Biggest issue is it states you have missing information- and some of the fields were required- FINE. BUT TELL US WHAT IS REQUIRED (bold letters- different color- asterisk next to the required fields) whatever you want to do. But do not make it so you are sitting there guessing what is missing. Also as others have mentioned the point of when it comes up- make it so when you first visit the site (since the switch to activate this option was pulled) and not after you have attempted to type and post a reply. Come on Web Guys- you can do better I know you can.
