Registering: It's a Good Thing

You may have noticed that I've now made the user login form much more visible (it's right there, in the left corner of the page). This is to encourage you to register on the site. I have stopped short of requiring registration in order to comment and so on for now, but I have turned back on comment moderation for any unregistered commenters. While the spam deterrents I have in place do the job of catching the most obvious auto-type spam, I still find myself spending a lot of time deleting human-generated spam. So, if you want to avoid the delay before your comment appears, please take a few minutes to register. Rest assured that your personal information will never, ever be shared with any 3rd party. Once registered, your username will work on both Just Bento and Just Hungry (once you log into one, you'll be logged into the other). Still on the agenda are things like installing OpenID logins and more interesting profile pages, but one thing at a time. Only registered and logged in users will be able to post topics in the upcoming forum. I'm also working on implementing some other member-only features. And can I just say that a lot of people are making the term SEO as dirty as SPAM. Anyone linking to their stupid 'SEO advice' site will be reported as a spam offender, please take note.
