Here’s a midday open thread, with open registration for a limited time. The ‘Register’ link is at the top of the left sidebar.

Read all the rules before you register, and commit them to memory. The short version:

• Don’t register with a proxy.
• Don’t register with a throwaway email address.
• Don’t register more than one account at a time.
• Don’t be a jerk.
• Don’t be a troll.
• Don’t be a sock puppet. Stinky Beaumont hates sock puppets. He will find you.
• If you’re registering just to post a dramatic “goodbye cruel world” comment full of insults and drool, don’t waste your time. Nobody’s going to read it. It will be immediately deleted and your account will be blocked.
• Do play nice.

And then everything will be groovy.

And once again, the door of opportunity has closed, with 40 hatchlings.
