Membership not only protects Your Name but lets you upload a Avatar for Site use as well as access to the Members only parts of the Boards.
That said Membership will not just be given to any that seek it, but to those showing a sense of what it is to be Gorean and have made use of the site for at Least Two Months or one Month if Pledged or wishing to Pledge to the Site, or are known to Be already Gorean in Nature By Site Admin!
this is to protect the site as well as those that use it
