One of the more common questions we get is "What does it mean to be a resident?" There are many advantages to gaining residency, among them: - You dont have to go through all those annoying validation procedures every time you enter the program. - You get to have your own list, and with that comes friends lists, informs (notify you when someone connects to the program) and the like. - And most importantly, you get a room of your own!! You can make your own description for it and have all your friends over for a chat (and keep annoying gits out of it as well). Gaining residency is simple. Just look around for a Superuser (or type "lsu" if you dont see any in the room youre in) and do: tell <su's name> I would like to become a resident. Generally there are two requirements : 1. A valid email address and 2. Agreement to follow help rules (type help rules to see them). Thats all there is to it :) =astyanax (4/6/95)
