Important stuff first:. You will need a pop e-mail accountant in order to register. That means no Hotmail or Yahoo accounts will be accepted. This may be tricky for some folks but if you have an internet connection you should be able to get an address from your internet service provider. If you can't get one for yourself you can use a the address of a friend or relative and then when you go to the user control panel turn off anything that might send them e-mails. Make sure you get permission from the account holder before you do this.

Each account needs to be approved by us. We apologize for this and we hope you don't have to wait too long. We will do our best to process your application as soon as possible.

The next thing to know is that we are glad you are back. We really missed having the bulletin board running but we are also really glad we took this action. A fresh start was the only way to get the community back on a positive track.

You'll notice there are already some posts. I leaked the address to a few folks, who told a few friends and soon we had a bunch of members again.

If you think you know the nsmb forums - think again. We will be monitoring more closely and we also ask for your help. If you see something offensive, counter to our terms of use or just plain unfriendly please let us know. At the bottom of each post is a link that says "report this post to a moderator." When you click it you will be sending all of us an e-mail so you can tell us what's up.

Once you register you will be able to look around but you won't be able to post until your membership has been approved.. You may want to take the opportunity to check out the redrafted terms of use - which are posted as a sticky on the board.

Huge thanks go out to everyone who put so much hard work into getting the board up and running again and to everyone who keeps it cruising.

Take me to The new nsmb Bulletin Boards
