10. Your login name appears in bloody, lalu-patay red color -- like the lips of, well, never mind.
09. Your postings are more likely to be taken seriously by your peers here.
(Notice how, as of this posting, nobody has responded to that very interesting piece about phone bajay. So, paschim (you, still in black), are you not going to register and come here more frequently as a "red and registered" user? Come
on. Gorkha is the red paschim :-) ]
08. You upgrade yourself to "Business Class" (a "pompous" analogy, according
to some, but never mind that my real point was about product differentiation!
Then again, I am aware that when one uses corporate examples among
Nepalis, you are bound to rub some people the wrong way, and that's life :-)
07. You signal to others that indulging in personal attacks is beneath your registered dignity. (This does not apply to the registered user named Tirtha, of course! His continuing bitterness towards me keeps us all entertained and it's
always fun to laugh at his bitterness!! Carry on, Tirtha-ji, you of ulcerous
heart!)
06. You signal to others that you are sexy, cool and have a great sense
of humor :-) This applies eminently to JDV who seems to know how to look
at the BIG PICTURE and not get distracted by small details!!
05. Being registered gives you a sense of belonging to this Web site.
04. Jeff Bezos gives Christmas discounts on Amazon.com to registered
GBNC.org users.
03. The idea of self-policing is taken to a much higher level.
02. Some of these reasons are lame because I cannot think up funnier ones.
01. The idea that Nepalis and friends of Nepal everywhere of various (schooling and professional/personal backgrounds and who have never even been to Boston) can get together in cyberspace to form a noisy, pulsating democratic and registered community of equals is a great one.

San,
why not you make my buddy list applicable to those registered
users. Via this list, we can privately exchange real time
private messages too. Well, the buddy list should be
approved by the other end too and also can be blocked
sometime if required. It might force anon. users to be
registered users to be part of this virtually open society.
