Welcome

Sorry for this small inconvenience in order to sign up. If you want to know why we do this please read the "Why all the hassle?" information below. Otherwise, to get the "Sign-Up Code",

• In the "Find the code..." paragraph below, search the text for a long string of random characters (which is the code). Notes:
  • The code is randomly placed in a different spot every load of the page so it will be different that what is showing in the example.
  • The code itself is randomly generated every once in a while so it will be different that what is showing in the example.
  • The code may be in the middle of a word. Only select the code, not parts of the word.
• Select the code but do not include the 'space' before or after the code.
• Copy it.
• Go back to the homepage sign-up form and paste what you copied into the "Sign-Up Code" field.

Find the code...

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little 6d6b092c19f04b5c80c3 and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off—then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

There now is your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs—commerce surrounds it with her surf. Right and left, the streets take you waterward. Its extreme down-town is the Battery, where that noble mole is washed by waves, and cooled by breezes, which a few hours previous were out of sight of land. Look at the crowds of water-gazers there.

Why all the hassle?

Simply put, spammers. Spammers are the bane of the internet and always cause issues with websites that allow users to create accounts. Being a VERY small team, we try to limit the amount of spammers and bots trying to create accounts on our site.
