If you're boarder from the past, just say who you used to be in the comments.
If you're a new boarder trying to get in, just give a bit about yourself and what user name you registered as.
Regardless of who you are, make sure you register your new username again; many people are making the mistake of thinking their old usernames carried over to the new board; they didn't.
Try to be patient with the approval process after you submit your username; realize badhat has a job and a family, isn't getting paid to moderate hipinion, and has other matters to tend to; give it a bit before you submit another comment about how you haven't been approved. Things will eventually be resolved.
We all look forward to boarding with you in the future, and sharing in the harmony that is our hipinion community.
[Just to repeat instructions again in case anyone is confused; you use the comment sections of this blog post to state your user name, then badhat and the board will look it over]
