This
annoying message will appear on every screen until you do!
It's highly obnoxious, isn't it? Please get rid of this annoying
message by registering
your own SA Forums Account and joining us in our putrid
rollercoaster ride to hell! You're only seeing a small slice
of the SA Forums, and trust me, there are a ton of other exciting
forums you currently lack access to, ones full of wonder and
people who enjoy the forbidden Internet fruits of pleasure (boobs).
So do us all a favor and join
us for the low, low one-time price of $9.95! We are one
of the last friendly, troll-free popular forums left on the
Internet, and we'd love it if you could become another honorary
SA Goon. We've got over 10,000 highly active members yet maintain
a strong community full of exciting and moderately psychotic
people who may or may not stab you if you meet them in real
life. So, in conclusion..
You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page, perhaps
because you do not have a registered Something Awful Forums account. If you do have a forums account and something does not appear to be working correctly, please email forumsaccount@somethingawful.com and we'll try to get you fixed up. Here are
the instructions detailing how to get your own SA Forums account:
- A BRIEF OVERVIEW (WHY DO WE CHARGE TO REGISTER?)
In order to offset server costs and bandwidth bills, Something
Awful is charging a one time only $9.95 fee for a basic forum account
registration. (after registering, you can upgrade to platinum
for search and private messaging capabilities) As we all know, the Internet
industry is pretty much a craphole these days, and the only way website owners
can break even is by charging subscriptions. I want to keep the main site
and content free of charge, so your registrations and donations help keep
both the forums and main server alive, as well as keeping me out of prison
for murdering advertising executives.
Some of you may have a problem with the notion of this website charging people
for an account. You may say that other forums are free and don't cost anything
to register, so there's absolutely no reason for you to pay money for an account
here. That is fine by me; if you don't want to pay, I will not ask you to
pay. It is a decision completely up to you. The SA forums, however, are a
thriving community full of what I feel to be the funniest crowd on the Internet,
moderated by some of the best mods to ever squirt out of somebody's womb.
We're troll-free and provide the best viewer-created content out of any website.
If you feel you would like to join us, I freely invite you to do so. If you
would not like to join or take offense to paying money for a forum account,
I freely invite you to not do so. The choice is up to you.
If you are experiencing any technical problems with the forums or your account,
please contact us and we'll
immediately fix it up.
- HOW TO REGISTER AN ACCOUNT:
By registering an account, the
user agrees to abide by all the forum rules and regulations. If the user
breaks any forum rule (as determined by a Something Awful Forums moderator
or admin), their account could be banned and will need to register a new account.
User must read
the forum rules before registering, as the act of registration represents
the user's agreement to all stated rules and regulations and signifies the
user's intent to abide by these rules.
Your account will be activated within 24 hours and you will receive an email
notice to the valid email address you specified.
- PROBLEMS / ISSUES
If you already have an account but you still can't login, it might be due
to the following reasons:
You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and

features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum

If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account
or it may be awaiting activation.
You have paid by a Paypal electronic check. In this case, your account
may only be created one the check clears.
If you have any other questions or comments, feel
free to contact us. Thank you for your support and helping keep this website
alive.
