For example, you can set whether or not you want an email notification when someone responds to a thread to which you've posted. You can allow or not whether your email address is visible to other members [not visible is my default setting for everyone. You can also be emailed when you get a new PM --I'd advise you to turn that one on! That way your email address is private, but you can be reached by other registerd SBLinux.org members.
And face it Linux is cool. SBLinux is Arctic cool. Who doesn't want email from cool people?
Set your sig line, throw up an avatar. . . whatever you do in the PROFILE makes the Forum a little bit more like /home.
