  1. IMPORTANT! READ FIRST!

    Do NOT use "auto-fill" to fill in the registration form!!
    90% of the time, "auto-fill" does not provide the correct information in the registration fields. Due to the large number of spammers we get (who always use auto-fill on forms), we must approve all new registrations before you can post. If your registration form is not filled in correctly we will assume you are a bot and you will not be approved. Note that some information is required and some is optional.
