Introduction

One of the great things about being a ProgClub member is that it entails absolutely no obligation. Well, no obligation except that you remain subscribed to the ProgClub announcement list. So, now that you have an account, you don't actually need to do anything at all. However, if you'd like to, there are a few things that you can do, as detailed below.

Terms and conditions

Accounts

At ProgClub you have at least three accounts: an account on the wiki, a ProgClub member account, and a ProgClub email account. Anyone can have an account on the wiki, you don't actually need to be a ProgClub member to have one of these. Anyone can have an account on the blog too, and you aren't automatically signed up for that as part of your membership. If you'd like an account on the blog then head over and sign yourself up.
