Because of an issue with spam bots (we have about 100 registering to the forums each day), accounts that never post are regularly deleted, which can create havoc on the contest. As a result, the contest threads will be only visible to members whose post count is at least 1. You don't have to make a contentful post - feel free to just post a reply to this thread saying nothing at all. I just need to ensure that your account won't be caught in the spambot purges.

nothing at all :)

Since the message body of a valid post cannot be left empty, I find myself unable to comply with your recommendation. Oh well.
-
Blarg!
There. I'm in.
-
Hullo!
-
Please Sir, don’t delete me. I’m not a spambot I promise.
-
Aww, shucks. Well, for my first post, advice from a man of wisdom: always remember your towel.

--I am not a bot, my favorite color is purple, and I hate the beach. Don't delete me plz.

I am a human perso, here with good intentions.

I guess it doesn't matter that I forgot my password to my old account, then.

Probably not, though if you want to recover it, PM me with its name.

I think reading the snarky comments here is almost entertaining as the contest entries :)

One of these days I will unleash my evil genius and create a spambot swarm that will draw on this thread to create "legitimate" first posts on discussion boards.
MUWAHAHAHA!

I just want to see stuff!

Phew! Imagine asking lurkers to de-cloak!!

I am not a spam bot. I wish I was, I wish I could flood your inboxes every day with big promises, but I am not.

I am a spam bot in deep cover. All of the story discussion I've posted here over the last three years is just an elaborate hoax. When you least expect it, I will explode in a cloud of spam-spores that will infest every nook and cranny of the forum and will never be expunged. The best part is, no one will believe this post, until after it's too late.

Hi. I like quiet horror, but done well.
Hope to find some good tales here.

Thank you, thank you. Now if only it had conformed, in any way, to the contest rules (deadline, anonymity, etc) maybe I'd have a chance. :) You can read the full story when I publish my memoirs!

Can't wait to read the stories! Good luck, authors!

I'm actually several dozen hamsters in a person suit. Hopefully that still qualifies me to vote.

Well, first, go to the correct (i.e. active) contest. Then, click on the groups of stories. Click on the stories to read them. Decide which ones you like best. Click on the thread entitled "Group X Poll" where X is the group number of the stories you've been reading. The click on the stories you like and click "Submit Vote."
That, uh... that pretty much covers it.
-
Posting.
-
Howdy!

Yo!
