Please contact ClintonEbadi to have a new account made. Please provide him with your preferred username. '''DO NOT GIVE HIM A PASSWORD''', one will be autogenerated. You may contact him in any way listed on his userpage (if you choose the phone method please SMS unless you first contact electronically to make sure he is there or you may not get an account right then).
