Welcome to the new and improved forums. We are going to be using an API system to manage the users who can access the forums.
Why did we do this?
The old forums had hundreds of people registered and managing them all was virtually impossible. After IRC was removed from drones we found dozens of people who had access but were not in IRC for months.
What does this mean for me?
What will happen is when you register, the forum will pull your API data and look to see what alliance you are in. If you are not in IRC, it wont let you in as you probably should not be here. We do store API data so it can be checked from time to time to verify you are in IRC. It is stored encrypted in a database and is only accessible by you. For a list of what can and can not be done with an API read the EVE API Key Management FAQ at the bottom of the page where you collect your API: HERE
In the future we will incorporate this API database into more aspects of the website such as tools like POS trackers and killboard features.
Thats all fine but I cant register and did not read this first, why is it not working?
To register, you must use the name of the character that is in IRC, it is case sensitive. Enter your Corporation Ticker, and LIMITED API information. Please do not use "<Character1>/<Character2>" or <corp ticker> - <character name> as it will NOT work.
I still have questions!
Send Kamikazie a EVE-Mail or find me on ventrillo.
