Songwrangler™ Signup Form

Note: This page will take you to an automated Songwrangler™ membership signup form, eventually. This version is left over from a previous iteration that required me to do everything manually, and it doesn't actually work. I've left it here to demonstrate the sort of thing I usually provide. http://songwranglers.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=register

Note for Real People Who Want to Sign Up - I would rather have ten people I know and trust on our forums than a thousand I don't. You may think I'm being intrusive or demanding by requiring you to give me real information before you sign up, but on other forums I've managed, that was the only way I could guarantee that every member feels safe from sniping or worse.

Sadly, every week dozens of spammers and jokesters fill out our forms thinking that somehow their unwelcome advertisements or content will show up on our sites (they don't). Some of those fake request from spammers even come with real people's names and e-mails attached - they've harvested someone else's address book so their requests would look legit. So I'm now asking people who want to subscribe to our forums to supply their real full name, city, state, and some information about themselves and their interests so we know it's not just a random spam attempt. Considering how much personal information I've shared over the years on these web pages, I don't think that's asking too much. Again, NONE of your personal information will ever be revealed, sold, traded, or used in any way except for me to have a better idea of who my readers are.

At the moment, I don't have the following form "wired" to force you to submit required fields - that doesn't actually discourage determined scammers anyway. But, due to the sheer number of fake signups I get, I must automatically delete any requests with partial or obviously fake information. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience, but I'm inviting you into a safe place that I plan to keep safe for everyone who wants to participate.
