Are you stuck in here? READ THIS THREAD.

First off, welcome to Emuparadise!! :D
Now onto the matter at hand. You're stuck in here because your account has yet to be verified/activated. As you saw when you finished registering, a confirmation email should've been sent to you, which you needed to check. But crap happens, and for whatever reason you didn't receive it. When this happens you have a few options:

1) Resend the confirmation email. To do this click "Settings" on the top right corner of the page. From there look down the box that appeared on the left for "Edit Email & Password". Enter your password and a valid email address and another confirmation email will be dispatched to you.

2) Facebook Connect. WARNING! DOING THIS WILL SIGN YOU UP WITH YOUR FACEBOOK NAME. There are plenty of reasons not to associate your real name with an emulation forum, but it's a really easy to sign up. To do it, FIRST LOG OUT, you'll be making a new account from scratch. Once you've signed out simply look up at the top middle of the page and spot the Facebook Connect button. Give it a click and it'll link up your Facebook account. Proceed to the registration page and it'll be filled in with info from Facebook, you just need to enter a password you want on your Emuparadise account and you're good to go.

3) Simply post several times in this forum (several, not 1 or 2 times, several), but don't double post. After you've hit the required number of posts, you can wait for the forum to auto-promote you (it may take an hour or so). Then you'll be full fledged member. Once promoted you'll be unable to post in here anymore. Oh, also! Try not to look like a spambot while playing in here, we don't hesitate to ban spambots on sight!
If you're thinking of making an introductory post of some sort, it's somewhat wasted in here. Wait till you're a full fledged member and make it over in the thread specifically for introductions:
