I would like to encourage those who have not registered, but are posting, to consider registering. Not only can we finally see who you are and connect your posts throughout the different threads, but it also affects the board's notifications feature.

When someone posts a new thread or a comment on an existing thread, the board adds the post to the notifications icon at the top. That way we are sure to see it. That means you will have a greater chance of having your comments read by others and your questions answered! 😊

Moreover, some of us have the board set to send an email notification for new replies (I do!). That helps me keep up with the board very easily. However, if someone is not registered and just shows up as "a FANDOM user," those notifications never go out. So I tend to miss those comments and replies.

If you want to hide who you are for privacy matters (which is understandable for a variety of reasons), you can always open an email account in hotmail, gmail, or anywhere else that's commonly used. Then use that email to register here under a fake name. You can remain private that way. It's also possible to have two accounts on here (one known and one more private). All you need are two email accounts.

Another advantage to registering is you get a wall where people can post messages just for you. All the messages are public, but others will have to intentionally stalk your wall to see them. Only the people in the wall thread are included in the notifications.

None of this is to say there is anything wrong with not registering and remaining a Fandom User. It is a feature of the board and most certainly welcome to be used by anyone! It is only to say we welcome you here and would love to not miss your threads and comments. 😊
