Important! If you attempt to register and do not get an email within 5 minutes please check your spam box. This is especially true for Microsoft owned domains like Hotmail, Outlook, and Live. If these do not work please consider Gmail. Yahoo, or even AOL email which works fine.
My disdain for the PM system as a whole is well known... a waste of resources for private messages? I don't like it... They're only on so I can use them for board business but if you're PM'ing a bunch of people on a regular basis, use email instead.
