It has nothing to do with this "forum", which is actually a newsgroup,
it has to do with whatever system you're using to get here. Your
"Newsreader" header says "vBulletin USENET gateway", whatever that is.
There is no registration needed for this newsgroup, no
account/password - at least if you access it on the MS server,
msnews.microsoft.com. I have no clue what vBulletin's requirements
are.
