That’s really good, I only found a few small spots needing work.

Your account has been created.
你的會員帳號已經成立．
("會員"is more commonly used as for a website and stuff)

Because of recent spam attacks on our forum,
we need to screen all new registrations

因為本論壇最近遭受多次spam攻擊, 故新會員資料將會被一一審核；核准後新會員才有權利登入發表文章
（發帖 is Mainland Chinese term for “post”. I don’t know which style of usage Forumosa wants, but I still went ahead and replaced it with a Taiwanese term. :stuck_out_tongue: ）

Our screening process is very simple:
審核過程很簡單:

  5. Share with us your expectations of our websites
  6. 與我們分享您對本網站的期待
  7. Remind us what Forumosa ID you chose
  8. 請告知我們您的會員帳號
    （＂選擇＂here doesn’t really need to be translated; it’s not wrong grammatically but the new user might get confused because they don’t really “choose” the ID name from a list the website provides, they just make the names they want. I also replace “提醒” with “請告知”, because the latter is more colloquial. And again, I replace the term “用戶外號” with “會員帳號” just because it’s more Taiwanese. :smiley:）

If we believe you are sincere,
we will activate your ID asap

Pls note:
請留意：
English is the official language of Forumosa
because our moderators speak English better than Mandarin
Forumosa.com的官方語言為英文,
因為本論壇版主們的英文能力多優於中文
（I added “們” as there are more than just one moderator.）

Also, Forumosa is not designed for minors,
and is moderated with adults in mind.
同時, Forumosa.com之成立並非針對未成年者, 且版主乃是基於成人心態立場在管理論壇, 故較不適合未滿18歲者.
(I keep the 18 years old part because I thought there might be some kids who can’t understand the hinting. )

Dragonbabe can be the better for Taiwanese.
