**Moderator Action**

Since this is a question about the message board itself, let’s move it to ATMB (from GQ).

Welcome to the SDMB, **toocrazy2yoo**.

As **running coach** said, you can find the link to subscribe in your User Control Panel. Click on the User CP link on the upper left, scroll down to the Paid Subscriptions link down at the bottom left, and follow the on-screen prompts from there.

You may purchase a year subscription, and if you choose to, you may also purchase a custom user title for an additional fee, which will appear under your user name where it says Guest or Member otherwise.

I did not bring “pie”, but strangely, the apples are in stock, I just have to get off my azz and start in on them. I had golf to deal with early this morning and now I’m up to my eyeballs in a friend’s motorcycle problems. There’s always tomorrow for the actual pie manufacturing.

Pie means something else here, however?

No, “pie” means pie here. Our euphemism for red hot monkey sex is “banhammer”, so if someone calling themselves a “moderator” says they are about to bring the “banhammer” down on you, you’ve hit the jackpot!

Red hot monkey sex? Never mind. I don’t want to know.

Anyway, you will probably find this a little more helpful.
