Wow, I sure am glad I didn't get probed too!

Okay, that was the most arduous registration process for a forum ever. This forum designer clearly believes that Skynet is real and self-aware, but instead of launching nuclear weapons, it is posing as humans pretending to talk about backpacks. By the eighth time when I finally realized that the author of the security question has never actually been outdoors and thinks the color of the sun is yellow, I finally got really good at doing those Captcha puzzles of everyday household items like baskets of chicken eggs, 3.5" hard drives, and spark plugs. Also, something wasn't liking that I put "satan" as the referrer to this forum site, though I am pretty sure I would like to hold the dark lord accountable for that byzantine registration process. 20 minutes! I felt while I'm at it, why not write a snarky post to the "Not About Bags" forum?

Seriously guys, I know the whole Snowden thing has you all rattled, but can we lighten it up a little bit? If it takes 20 minutes to register on a forum to talk about backpacks and backpack related accessories, then the terrorists have, in fact, won. This is a sad day for America.

Welcome to the forums!
I tried the registration process myself with a new name (though I didn't complete it), and it took less than a minute. I agree that the question about the sun can be confusing, but otherwise I think it's pretty straightforward.
There is a thread here where you can introduce yourself, if you are so inclined.

Ha! I think I banged my head against the sun question a few times as well...

For anyone trying to figure out the color of the sun I suggest you see a theater version of "The Day the Crayons Quit", or read the book. There is a tremendous debate between the yellow and the orange crayon as to which color the sun is.

I learned very young that the color of the sun is not yell it's chicken.
