I think I missed something here.. what is it your (not) blushing about?

Page is still undergoing construction/tweaking/whatever. We're open to
suggestions, though. If you have any, send them to Beshon. We need all
the inspiration we can get. :)

I dunno about Furry, but in our case, registrations submitted from the
web form are sent to the same place email registration is. I usually
check the fl mail every day, (in spite of the 'except weekends' thing
mentioned on the site), and will usually set up the requested character
as soon as I log on next.

This opens up many possibilities. None of them particularly desireable. 
In the least, it could be baffling, such as when you get one of those
exit messages when one enters a room you're in: "You just entered from
the library."

It wouldnt end there, though, as you pointed out. Fortunately, thanx to
BD, we are now protected from that particular "gag". :)
