We're still working out the best way to get paypal working. Previously, BobCReef had been using his personal account, but that's not really a good long-term solution.
The best way to join right now is to...
We're in a tight spot here with this site vs. ReefCentral... Many of our members don't feel they have time to read two sites, and obviously RC has a lot of interesting talk going on from all over. I'd personally love to have synchronization with RC's njrc forum and this one... But that got shot...

Here's some advance-notice for all y'all:

Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments. But the site wouldn't be very interesting without the community that I'm starting to see within it. So THANK YOU everyone for bringing yourselves here and adding so much to an otherwise lifeless creation. I'm really looking forward to where this can go...
No problem! When you use the [[ img ]] tag, you can put in width and height parameters, such as [[ img width=512 height=384]]http://imageurl/blah.jpg[[/img]]
It causes the browser to resize the image to that size (So it still takes just as long to download, but it makes the thread easier to read).
