    Registration has been closed.

    It is unfortunate that we must resort to such a step in order to mitigate the debris created by grown adults who cannot act as such. While we are certainly not inundated with large numbers of new creatives, artists, or others interested in the topics shared here, it is a shame that we must even temporarily close the site from sensible people who would like to join and participate.

    With this action you will also see a noticeable elimination of spam to the site, for which we expect you will mildly rejoice.

    Carry on.

    • The "Certify" feature was intended to allow existing members to vouch for new members.Moderator
    • It became a mechanism whereby existing trolls certified new trolls who were quite often themselves...Moderator
    • We may explore an invite-only membership process wherein existing members may submit new members, and vouch for them.Moderator
    • There would be an expectation that, should an invited-member turn negative or go nuts, it would reflect poorly on those who vouched for them.Moderator
    • Ultimately, hopefully, it would lead to existing members inviting those who are mostly likely to use the site responsibly, and contribute quality content.Moderator
    • It is only an idea at the moment. Your feedback or suggestions are welcome.
