Once you have registered on Diasboro you are able to post new comments but your first post needs to be approved and won't be visible to other members until it has been. Once you have been approved then you will be able to join the discussion like everyone else and post live.

FIRST: Before you can post you need to Log-in (a link to the LOG-IN page can be found in the Forum menu at the top of the page)

NEXT: Once you have logged in then please make your first post on this 'Getting Started as a New Member' thread as it will make it easier to find your post and then approve it. Your first post will be tagged with 'Awaiting Moderation' until it has been approved - once that tag has disappeared you will then be able to post without approval.

As for what you write in your first post it's up to you but maybe just introduce yourself and tell us a little of when you remember first following the Boro or how you became aware of Diasboro - which also helps to identify yourself as a genuine registration and not a spam one

Hope you enjoy your time on Diasboro

Thanks, werdermouth, for creating such an ingenious, and hopefully secure, registration method.

 
Back in March, when there was some discussion about whether Diasboro was worth continuing with, I was keen to register my support, but ran into the problems with new members registration. So it's great that the issue now seems to be resolved. In March I was outed by Clive Hurren as one of the Diasboro lurkers. And he was right. Clive and I have been friends since Acklam Hall School days in the 60's. He told me about Diasboro six years ago and it's been my primary source of information and opinion about the Boro ever since.
 
Like many, I've tried out all sorts of alternative sites and this is the only one which pretty well never stoops to criticism of contributors or worse. I have to grudgingly admire Craig Johns' ability to spin 6 articles out of one utterance from Michael Carrick, but that rarely amounts to the insight or insider information that we used to at least hope for from the Gazette. I think that there are some good Boro podcasts around, but that's not Diasboro's thing.
 
I am, by nature, a lurker, rather than a poster. But I am also aware that it feels unfair to lap up all the brilliant stuff that's on here without putting the effort in to contribute. So I'll chip in if I feel I can, but if it's not very frequent, please be aware that I, and I suspect many others, are very grateful for the work you all put in.

@peter-surtees 

A warm welcome, Peter. As with Clive I may just have missed you at Acklam Hall. I taught there from 1963-65.

@lenmasterman Thanks Len. No you didn't miss me. I was in 1G in 64-65 and remember you and your sports car very well.
