First of all, my apologies for not being here more often to fix things - I'll try to do better, but the so called real life is still keeping me too busy.
'thul, I'm afraid I can't find a user account at the wiki named 'thul. Creating new accounts has been disabled for the moment (see below), but I can create one for you manually, I just need your email address so that the password can be send to you. Drop me a private message with that info and I'll try to create your account ASAP. (This week, I promise!)
I recently disabled the option to create new accounts for the wiki, because we were getting tons and tons of spam and I didn't (& don't) have the time at the moment to install new/additional methods to prevent that. (See the "recent changes" wiki page for the last month... ) It's a nuisance, I know, and again I apologize. I will try to steal some time soon to sit down for an evening and update lots of stuff that runs "behind the scenes" here & fix some smaller stuff. It's way past due.
Re: the cover - it's not exactly a state secret that yes indeed I'm a female. It's just become a sort of inside joke over the years because a lot of people online refer to me as a he - sometimes even people who *know* the truth, like Robin. I used to think it was just a mistake (Finnish language doesn't differentiate between genders like that, we have only one word for "he" and "she", so I myself often mix the pronouns, especially when speaking because it's something I have to concentrate on to remember to "choose" ). But yeah, it happens often enough and by people who are native English speakers that I've started to wonder what it is about my online presence that makes many people think I'm a male. Not that I care, either way.
