While this site is free to you, this site is not free to me, since there are hosting costs and software licensing costs that are paid to keep this site running, and they are out of my own pocket. As of right now, I don't have a way to accept donations, and I don't have a paywall or offer premium features. Because of that, I really have zero tolerance for demands like this.
So, let this be a lesson on how not to request activation. We try to activate when we can, and as long as you follow the instructions to the letter when you register for this site, you have nothing to worry about. It may take a little longer than usual to activate, and I've got the other group admins trained (Todd and Henry) on how to activate users here.
