It is very quick.

Just send an email to ssforums@elitemail.com with your name and the nick you want to use, and one of us will fix it up in a few hours. Yes, there have been times when non-registered posters are not able to post, but they are very rare so it is not much of a handicap to stay unregistered. You can register at any time, you don't have any waiting period. After all, if there are problems we can always unregister you! Oh, Somersault is the owner and webmaster of the Lounge, but the Webmaster nick is used by both Somersault and KRB, co-moderators, and by any other moderator there might be from time to time.
