As you can already see, not all the sections this board contains can be viewed by Guests, so if you have decided to register, here's a few hints and a small guide for this easy task.


ZetaBoards' "Terms of Service"

Since the board is hosted by ZetaBoards, when registering, you should read the "Terms of Service" on the right-hand side of the Registration page, as to avoid actions taken by Administrators; this way we can also be sure that you will not put the Board in danger of being shut down.


Choosing a Username

Choosing a proper Username for your account is very important, because it doesn't have to just say who you are, it can also be the name of your Character, which you can create once your registration is validated and your account fully activated. This is not mandatory, however, and you are not restricted to this action, but you may still choose to do so for a number of reasons, only one of them being that others may identify you as the creator of your Character with more ease if you use the Character's name as your Username. This Username can be changed once you setup your Profile at any time (more on that later), but as a rule, you should avoid using vague names, and especially offensive names and slang. Any Administrator can take action against such accounts, including ban or account deletion.


Choosing a Password

Be very careful when choosing a password. This is your only protection from account theft and spam bots who may use your account to ravage through the Board, and it would be best to set up a secure password. A secure password should contain at least 3 of the 4 guidelines, which are:

  • both uppercase and lowercase letters
  • at least one number
  • punctuation or at least one symbol
  • at least 8 characters in total
You are not obligated to do this, of course, this is just a recommendation; in case you forget your password you can always request an e-mail to reset it. The Board Administrators will never ask you for your password, no matter the reason someone requests it. If you give out your password on your own free will, it is your own responsibility, and any offensive and/or inappropriate action or behavior made on your account will be viewed and considered as your action.


Providing the e-mail address

Your e-mail address is essential for registering on this Board, as the Administrators require you to validate it before your account can be fully activated. Occasionally we may send out important announcements and/or special e-mails to you, so it is advised that you provide an e-mail address which you regularly use. Please note that a secure password increases your account security; if someone manages to access your account and change the e-mail address, you will officially no longer have ownership of the account.


The rest of the Registration process (aside from clicking the "I agree to the Terms of Service and Rules" check-box) is entirely optional. Once you submit your registration, an automatic validation e-mail will be sent to the address you provided, which will contain the validation link you need to click in order to fully activate your account. Until you validate your account you cannot access the Board and use standard Member features, and all accounts that have not been validated within 3 days will be deleted. You can always attempt to register again if, for whatever reason, you did not have time to validate your account right away. The validation e-mail is sent instantly and should arrive upon submitting your registration within a few minutes. Please note that some providers may see our e-mail as spam, so make sure you check the Spam/Trash page if the e-mail does not arrive in your Inbox. If the e-mail does not arrive at all, assume that the feature is currently down and unavailable; you can always request for the validation e-mail to be sent again later. If it does not appear at all, know that the Board Administrators do not have the power to halt individual validation e-mails from being sent, and that the problem is probably on the side of the host (ZetaBoards) and not the Board Administrators.


The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act or COPPA for short is intended to protect the privacy of children under 13 years old. Having said that, users under the age of 13 are not allowed to register on this Board. Should you choose to try and avoid this, you will risk receiving a permanent ban and account deletion if an account proves be owned by a user under the age of 13.


Any information provided about Registration is subject to change, which the Technical Administrator should publicly announce.
