For what it's worth, I just joined three days ago and didn't find it cumbersome at all. If anything it gives you a little more confidence in the site that people are checked on. Also glad to see some like minded posts non Jeep related. Other forums there's a bit of walking on egg shells to avoid offending anyone. Not that I have any intention of offending anyone btw. All in all glad to be here and looking forward to learning for my first Jeep.
