Read this, best log ever.

Since people seem to be lurking on the logpage without registering, and the same people seem to be entirely incapable of reading very simple instructions (or applying the slightest modicum of problem solving ability towards the problem of getting an account), I'm going to say this here:
I do not make accounts.
I do not make them in a box.
I do not make them with a fox.
I do not make them on a train.
I do not make them in the rain.
I do not make them here or there.
I do not make them ANYWHERE.
I am a moderator and I VERIFY accounts _once you have created them._
The process by which one makes an account is rather complex, so I'll post a walk-through here.
You click on the link on the home page labeled "Register new user". I know the link name is misleading, but that's what we have to work with. Once you click on the link you follow the instructions.
In the box next to the word "User name", you put in the name of your character for whom you'd like to make an account. That part is tricky, but if you keep at it I'm sure you can do it.
The two following boxes are for your password. We ask you to type it in (And this is the SAME PASSWORD both times! This is important) twice so you don't make a typo which prevents you from logging on to your account.
Next to the word e-mail address, put in your e-mail address. Most e-mail addresses follow the following form: yourname@yourprovider.com, yourname@yourprovider.ca, yourname@yourprovider.co.uk, or the like.
Next to the box that says "Real name", you put the name that your mother would call you. If your character name is BigMac and your mother would call you "Billy Joe", you put Billy Joe here.
When the form is filled out you click the "Submit data" button. This means that the stuff on the form gets submitted to the logpage, and your account has been created! Whew, that was hard work! But you're not done yet.
Now that you've created your account, you log on to towers. You can do this by going to t2tmud.org/connect.html and clicking on either the telnet or java button, then you type in your username and password (this password might be different than your logpage password, be careful!). From there, send a mudmail to me, Tireless, by going to a mail room and typing "mail tireless". In the mail, say that you would like your logpage account verified.
When I next check my mail (which is usually 1-2 days but very rarely more than a week apart) I'll see the mail. Data will be sent from the server in New York through the internet by various electronic means onto my computer, which will then interpret that signal and make characters on my screen. Those symbols on my screen will go in through my eye-holes through the optic nerve into my brain where I'll translate them into the idea that I should verify your account. I'll then access your account and click "verify", after which you'll have a fully functional logpage account.
FAQ:
Q:
That's too complicated. Can you make an account for me?
A:
No. Go fuck yourself.
Q:
What's my password?
A:
I don't know. Probably 1 2 3 4 5, if it's the same as what you've got on your luggage.
Q:
I tried 1 2 3 4 5 and it didn't work.
A:
Stop reading the logpage, watch Space Balls, then kill yourself.
Q:
I mailed you half an hour ago and my account still isn't active!
A:
As I am omniscient, I saw what you were doing in your sister's room last night and I am disgusted. I'm withholding access to the logpage from you as punishment for your sins.
Q:
lulz how 2 mak log a count plzkthx?!!!?1/1!/1?!1@!@
A:
I will cut you.
Q:
I don't see the link on the main page.
A:
Hold your hands out in front of you, palms facing away, fingers outstretched. Looking at your thumb and pointer finger, which one makes an L? That is your left hand. L for left. When you pee, which direction does it go? That is down, also called the bottom direction. Now, on the main logpage (logs.dyndns.dk) look on the bottom... left... corner near the words "Other Stuff". If you don't see it, consult Gramul regarding obtaining his screen reader.
Q:
I made the account name LOLUSUX and you didn't verify it, what gives?!
A:
You have to have a character on the MUD with the same name as your account here. If you're unable to make the character name you want on the mud, heap your abuse on Melkor. He's a very patient, understanding guy when it comes to players disrespecting the staff and he'll take care of you.
Q:
You fucking fag, why didn't ur gay ass activate my account you homogay faggotshit?
A:
Because I'm really, really not impressed by people spewing sexual orientation slurs all over the place, and I am out to get you.
Q:
A:
The device you're shouting at is called a "Keyboard", and to make it work you have to "type" on it. That's where you use your fingers and you push down on the little buttons on the top to make words.
Q:
Why u so mad?
A:
God, I hate you all.
