All users for their first time logging onto the board will have a limited 
access level, allowing you only to do a few of the above functions.  Once 
your registration information has been confirmed and verified, we will 
automatically increase your access level to normal user, usually, within 
two days. You will notice the change in the log on message, telling you 
that your user status is no longer * New User *, but * Validated User *. 
This will give you standard level access, permitting downloading, 
uploading etc....  There is also an Advanced User Access level 
permitting nearly unlimited access to areas of the BBS.  Only the 
sysop(s), current staff, or associates will be given this access level.

Thank-you
