However, I've registered too many times and the amount of captchas involved has slowly driven me insane and I have developed a mild phobia of registering. This happens far too often: http://worsethanfailure.com/Articles/Protection-From-Robots,-By-Robots.aspx Then add in the arbitrary requirements for username size and password, and you begin to see why I'm rather tired of registering. I've been on the web since '95 and I don't even want to know the statistics of how many times I've registered for an account. Only the conglomeration of sites by Google and to a lesser extent Yahoo(still have insane captchas for somethings) has given me the opportunity to explore new sites without having to go through the web registering process. Did I mention I've been driven insane by captchas? The questions you have to ask yourself even when the captcha is readable: Is this case sensitive? If so, is it sensitive to whats in the captcha, or does it need to be all lower case? Hmmm... they allow vertical and horizontal compression and expansion, so is that a big lower case x or a small upper case X? AHAHAHHA!

Like the original post stated, this main page will be undergoing major changes in the upcoming weeks, including the addition of links, possible PHPBB integration, etc. Please be patient, and all the things you want will come. In regards to your statement regarding account creations, you could have created an account exactly mirroring your forum account, that way your user name and password would have been the same - eliminating the need to remember a new one.

Also, could you link the forum login to whatever this is? Even though I've already registered to post this, I still found it annoying (there's only so many account creations until you begin to snap), and many will likely find it annoying too.
