OK, after hearing all the stories of how great this site is and how it has great articles etc I went over last night to join it. Then I look at the sign up page - and company is a required entry field. What the hell? It seems that you actually have to be an industry professional to even join in the first place! Further down you have to tell it what specific role you play in the company. Has anybody here actually managed to join this thing?

I'm a member ... but I have been for a long time. I can't remember the registration process of the time, but it wasn't that hard to join. Perhaps they've tightened things up a little since then.

Just enter fake details.

I also joined several years ago and don't recall having to ever fill in any of those fields either. Odd.

When anything asks me to fill up company (Be it software or some forum), I just type n/a.

I was thinking of putting fake stuff in, but I read the terms of service and it sort of violates it.

yea, putting in fake info sort of violates lots of ToS's, but i really don't think anyone expects you to put your real full name and address. it shouldn't really matter.

oh, wow. insignificantpunks.cjb.net.
no: website for progs yet.

I joined up with it about 2 years ago.

Putting in "N/A" is a very good idea because that is the truth, and it doesn't violate anything.

Just put in 'N/A' or 'Self-Employed', whichever correlates to your position in the game industry best .

Or, you can put in 'Indie' and 'lead programmer' that seems to go well with the bean counters.
