Hell, I might as well do it too.  If not now, I'll regret not doing it and will have to wait until next November.  So yeah, count me in!

Is anyone else having trouble accessing the Nano forums? I can get to them, but I can't post. Seems like they are working out some bugs...

Ah, this sounds fun. Hey, just because I always write poetry doesn't mean I can't write stories. Generally. It's just a matter of ideas for me...
I'm still debating, but I'll probably jump in.

I believe you have to wait until November before you can start posting. At the moment, only members who've participated in past NaNos can post.

The problem right now is explained on the front page of the site. Basically, there were so many sign ups that one of their servers went down, so they have disabled the login and sign up sections until they get a new server up and running.
Also, you can start posting as soon as you sign up, which you can do starting Oct. 1st (though the server problems are preventing that). The actual writing doesn't start until Nov. 1st, but all features on the site are available from day one of sign up.

Thanks for the info.
Yeah, I had trouble logging in in 2003, even though I had participated in 2002, so I had to create a whole 'nother login/password. I had only seen a few posts here & there so I thought maybe the site was down. There was a registration link, but no "login" link though, which was weird.

I'm in. Way above my head, I might add.

I'm in but I can't register on the NaNoWriMo site until tomorrow... it seems demand outweighed server capabilities.
Do you get a feeling that we must all be a little insane to try this?

You win the biggest understatement award.

I'm in, although I'll have to wait until the server goes back up again to register. Luckily, the point of this is quantity, not quality, so I'll be churning out 50,000 words of crap come November. (Oh yeah...spread the purple prose on thick, baby...)

I can't wait untill November starts!
I remember how much fun (and stress) I had last year.
I just hope I manage to do it again, it would kind of ruin my memory of last year if I can't do it this year.
