PROBLEMS ACCESSING THE SITE
(I am serious, read it. It is important.)

Skip all of this nonsense by becoming a Donator!
One $8 donation gives you easy and permanent
access to one of the best forums on the Internet.

If you are registering here at WTATA simply to get into the Direct Downloads forum, that is 100% acceptable... that is what we are here for. We have, however, one caveat: You must post at least 5 legitimate, useful and constructive posts and then manually request access into the DD forum.

Why? Because we have had a serious problem with leechers. People register, grab all the eps and then leave never to return again. We hate that.

So, making new users jump through two very small hoops will hopefully help weed out people that cannot be bothered and/or entice users that have posted five posts to stick around and post more. People routinely post about how friendly the forum is. Hopefully, you will feel the same way.

So here is what you do:

Step 1) Register an account.
Step 2) Post at least 5 useful posts. Links for 10 good posts to start with are at the top of the Forum Index page.
Step 3) Request access to the DD forum by clicking the Usergroups link at the very top (you can see it now in fact).
Step 4) We will review your request and either grant you (if you have posted 5 useful posts) or deny you (if your posts were useless or otherwise spammy).

While you are waiting to be approved, do NOT ask the other users, the moderators or the administrator what your DD status is. You will be notified by email (check your spam box!) of your approval or denial. If denied, you will be given a list of reasons.

Alternatively, we have set up a Donators page. One of the several benefits of being a Donator is that you do not have to post anything. You just get in. :)
