Do I have to register?

Registration is not required to view public topics on the forum; however, some forums may have the requirement that you register an account before you can post a new topic or reply to an existing topic. This is decided on a per-forum basis. Registration is free and only takes a few minutes. The only required fields are your User ID, which may be your real name or a nickname, a password, and a valid e-mail address.

The information you provide during registration is not outsourced or used for any purposes other than for providing access to the forum software. If you believe someone is sending you advertisements as a result of the information you provided through your registration, please notify us immediately.

Are there any censor features?

The forum software does censor certain words that may not be posted; however, this censoring is not an exact science, and is being done based on the words that are being screened, so certain words may be censored out of context. By default, words that are censored are replaced with alternative words that although unlikely to be offensive will still convey the original intent.

What do I do if I forget my password?

Simply click on "Log In" at the top of any forum page and click on the "I have forgotten my password" hyperlink.

Can I be notified by e-mail when someone replies to my posts?

Yes. When you add a new message to a forum make sure the "Notify me by email if someone responds to this message?" checkbox is ticked. You will then be sent a copy of any replies made to your message via e-mail as well as the message being added to the forum.

Can I post in any forum?

Maybe. The ability to post new messages or replies in a forum is a per-forum setting that may be disabled in certain forums. Administrators and Moderators can post in any forum.

Where can I get my own copy of this forum software?

As this software is supplied in source code form it is possible that this implementation of the scripts may be highly customised, but the basic forum software is available from bttlxe.com free of charge.
