<p>We are hosting a external forum as an experiment for iGEM 2009.  This will be a place for participants to ask questions and get information.  It is not a moderated forum nor is it hooked up to the iGEM/Registry single log-in system.  If you would like to post on the forum you must create your own user ID and password.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:115%;">Open sign-up for user accounts will be held from Wednesday, July 29 to Wednesday, August 5.</span>  After that time user accounts will not be automatically approved so you should expect a short approval period before your account is active</strong>.  The reason for this policy is to reduce spam on the forum.</p>
