Welcome to the family! What kind of account did you sign up for, or planning on getting when your free trial is up? I'd suggest the silver package. $20 bucks a month gets you unlimited replies in posts, you can start up to 10 posts a week, and 250 shouts. Then after that, it's only 10¢ a shout, and a dollar a thread start. Gold package really isn't worth it. An extra ten bucks, and all that gives you that silver doesn't is unlimited polls, but the two polls a month from silver works just fine.
