	This is another one of my little experiments that will have some interesting side effects. I know a lot of people on the DDO forums have been really turned off by the registration requirement of the Vault, so I've been considering making some boards public. This board is the first step along the way, to see if the spambots take over.

	I was weary when I first found this place. There was no indication that it was legitimate and thought it might be some sort of password phishing scheme. Turns out it has been amazing fun instead

Turns out it has been amazing fun instead I don't know if you noticed, but you went past 500 posts the other day. Remember what that means? (Note that you probably need to log out/in for the change to take effect)

	Funny how spammers completely ignored the ability to post as a guests, but instead took notice of us and now register to post on the rest of the boards.
