I registered - eventually

Guys, seriously.. what is going on with the registration process?

I was reading a techie thread and wanted to reply. So i registered.

I can't read 90% of the verification images, they are just too hard. After thinking "is that a Z or a sideways N, is that an S or a 5, is this squiggle before or after the one that might be an I? etc" I refreshed like 50 times to get one I can read, and that was a guess.
The spam question.. well, I'd have thought a black and white road crossing mammal was a badger? I should know, I hit one in my car. But apparently that was wrong, soo.. back to the verification image noooooooooooo.
ok, so i got through those. Now it says I must add a sport (not sure why thats a requirement, oh well).. so the verification image and the spam question has reset (?!) and i have to type my password for the 3rd time.
Finally.. my registration is complete. I click the email link. All done :)
Then I go back to the thread I was viewing, and... "you cannot view this thread!!!! lol, I had more privelages when I wasn't registered.

Anyway, here now.. hardest registration ever. Is there a medal at the end of it? :)

+ 1 took me ages to get a readable captcha and then even longer to get one right.

but sorry no medal but if you make 250 posts you get free shipping!
 
Have to say Overclockers UK forum is one of the best I've used, probably the best.

No adverts apart from a tiny one top right.
Really clean and simple
The community on here is interesting and not boring like on other forums.

Never have I seen so many amusing threads, ASDA checkout girl, Camoe the scammer, delivery the letter post and etc.
 
Crikey! If it had taken me that long to register, I would have posted more to make it worthwhile....
 
thanks for all the welcomes, and cookies :)

Hey if I'd known the stripey animal was a us based question, I'd have put Zeebra hehe. perhaps it's me being dumb.. are badgers even striped?
