...that someone can actually get into?

I love Renderosity and was quite pleased that I was able to start posting soon after I had signed up but three of the other graphics-related forums have this probationary thing and haven't written back nor let my threads and responses through.

I don't really care too much because I don't want to make good friends in a forum that I can't ever get back into if there's a system glitch that tosses my account.

But are there any other resource forums, like Rederosity that don't take the "Studio 54" approach to people taking the time to register and present an active email account? I figure those forums already have too many people anyway.
