RSVP to Jennifer Vanasco by Monday, Sept. 21: jennifer.vanasco [at] mtvstaff [dot] com.

There will be a maximum of 50 attenders – we’ll take the first folks who respond.

DO NOT RSVP HERE!!! It’s too hard to keep track. We will only accept RSVPs from people who email.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

We’re now requiring that you register before you’re allowed to comment on the site. You can either give us your information directly – or you can click on Facebook connect, and register through your Facebook account (which means that Facebook will hold your info, not us, and it remains private). Facebook Connect will also give you the option of sharing with your friends your 365gay post.

You will only have to register once. (We have to do it to comment, too!)

Why are we doing this?

1. It will cut down on spam, and also, hopefully, on users who try to browbeat the community by posting the same opinion under many different usernames (sockpuppeting).

2. It is a neat addition for Facebook users.

3. It means that we will be able to bring back forums (not right away, but soon.)

We’re very, very excited about the forum possibility, which will bring more conversation into our very rich community.

Now, a question for you:

Pam’s House Blend and other sites require that people who register abide by community guidelines. Should we do something similar? What guidelines would you suggest?
