We mainly use the Asylum's user database and so you should have accepted that before you can register and post here.
Any cookies set are for your convenience.
We reserve the right to securely supply your user name and password (as well as homepage and email address - if you choose to let the other members see it) we can (securely) to certain site, run by inmates so you can log in, etc. there (for example: Asylum Yearbook, MAX's OZONE Asylum Locator Millennium Edition). This allows us to integrate the user database into other Asylum related projects which aren't actually hosted here. If you do not wish for your email address to be passed on, choose "No" for "Keep your email address viewable to other users when you post notes?" in your asylum profile.
