Create a Free Account
Skip down to the form if you're ready to create an account without reading all the explanations but do me the favor and read at least the ground rules before submitting the form.
Create an account to take advantage of the personalization features that I've introduced in the recent relaunch of the site. You can still browse the site without an account, in fact, you have my promise that you will always be able to do that. An account simply gives you access to additional features which require that you have a registered identity to distinguish you from everyone else. For example:
- Personalize your display preferences for medals.
- Tag your favorite medals and artists to find them more quickly.
- Create your personal collections.
- Add medals to "have" or "want" lists and optionally share them.
- Sign up for a newsletter or (infrequent) site update notifications by email.
Submitting the form below will result in an email being sent to you and me. You will have to activate your account by clicking on a link in the email. I will review your information when I have a chance and reserve the right to delete your new account. Practically speaking, I just want to keep bots and lurkers out but I also don't appreciate names like "asdfg klom" or ten different "Donald Trump" accounts.
If you really are Donald Trump or your real name might raise red flags with me, you might want to give me a heads-up before you submit the form.
Ground Rules
As you are going to be submitting some personal contact information, I have to state some very simple ground rules:
- Privacy — I will not rent, sell, or knowingly share your personal information unless mandated by law or upon a direct and explicit request from you, for example to connect with another member.
- Deletion — I will delete your personal information from the website upon request. Don't expect it to be instantaneous, I do have a life...
- Succession — The day will come, far in the future, when I have to pass the baton to a worthy successor. At that time, the entire site, including member accounts, will be transferred to its new owner. All users will be given a chance to delete their accounts beforehand but unless you take action your stored information will go to the new site owner.
- Security — While I take reasonable precautions and use a reputable hosting company, this site will probably one day get hacked. Don't use an account password that you care about and already use for other websites. If you're paranoid, don't use an email address you care about, though that might defeat at least one purpose of opening an account. As with all websites, you should not submit any information that you would deeply regret to have made public.
- Warranties — With the exception of any promises listed above, I make absolutely no warranties. You promise not to sue me for anything website-related; I'm already losing enough money on this project as it is without having to worry about legal threats...
All fields with the exception of your phone number and home country are required.
