It's not like we're asking you to pay or anything, we're just asking you to register. Our privacy policy is detailed somewhere on this site, but in non-lawyer language we promise not to give any info to any spam lists or shlt like that. But the membership count comes in to play a lot when advertisers call, we talk to manufacturers, and just 'cause it's bloody annoying to see 180 guests and 10 members online all the time! (For me it's the last one, but I'm weird that way.)

This is something that could really help our forum out without costing our members a dime, please cut us a little bit of slack and try and bear with us on this change. You don't really have to remember your password if you allow cookies to remember it for you, and it will REALLY help us out and make me feel a whole bunch better personally.

If you can't handle it or it's too much to ask of you then I'm sorry for the offense, but it's the way it's going to be so it's up to you if you're willing to put up with it or not.

I hope you choose to stay, there's some really exciting things coming up pretty soon.

so after complaining to yourself about having to register you do it any way then publicly complain.............??????the world is a strange place,oh and now that you have registered just save the password etc then next time you visit without the hassle of typing 2 small words.
life can be so hard sometimes.
