	Migration of BBS accounts may take a little more time. During a transition period, both the BBS's native authentication mechanism, and the new browser-based mechanism will be available in parallel. You should first try to enter user name and password into your browser's log in dialog window; if that is not accepted, clicking 'abort' will pass you on to the familiar BBS log in page.

	~~Access to BCI2000 is provided under~~ the ~~GNU General Public License (GPL). To obtain a~~ BCI2000 ~~user account, you may agree~~ to ~~the terms of the GPL, and sign up as~~ a ~~BCI2000~~ user~~, on [~~http://~~{{SERVERNAME}}~~/~~GPL this page].~~		As of Feb 3, 2017, the BCI2000 web site switched to a new user registration system located at

	~~'''NOTE:''' BCI2000 user~~ accounts~~, as discussed~~ on ~~this page, are independent of user accounts for~~ the ~~[http://{{SERVERNAME}}/phpbb~~ BCI2000 ~~Community Forum]. There~~, ~~anyone interested in BCI2000 may create a user account. Also, you will need to create your own Community Forum account in order to post on~~ the ~~forum, even if you already have your own BCI2000 user account. An exception~~ to ~~this is when you selected "Create user account~~ on ~~the~~ BBS~~" during the registration process~~. ~~Then, a forum account with~~ the ~~same name and password as the BCI2000 user account~~ has ~~been created for you. Still~~, ~~when you change your password in the~~ BBS ~~environment~~, ~~your BCI2000 user account's password will be unaffected~~.		The main reason for introducing the new system has been the large number of spamming accounts on the BCI2000 BBS, and the amount of restrictions necessary to discourage spamming activity on BBS forums. Once the new system has proven to keep spammers from registering, we hope to be able to re-activate useful BBS functionality such as posting images, using hyperlinks, etc.

	~~==Creating additional accounts for your lab==~~		With the new system, a central database is used to handle user authentication for all parts of the BCI2000 website. Access to the source code is granted depending on whether a user agreed to the GPL or not. Agreeing to the GPL is possible both at registration time, and later, through an option on the user's settings page. Changing user passwords, as well as recovering access to a user account after password loss, are now possible as well.
	~~To simplify account management and provide as many user accounts as necessary~~, ~~we provide~~ a ~~web interface~~ for ~~account creation~~.
	~~Everyone with~~ a ~~BCI2000~~ user ~~account may create new accounts as he~~ or ~~she needs them~~, ~~e.g~~., to ~~supply new team members with individual accounts without going through the signup process~~.

	~~===Creating an additional account===~~		Existing BCI2000 accounts have been migrated to the new database.
	~~Please go to http://{{SERVERNAME}}/useradmin/adduser~~ and ~~log~~ in ~~with your~~ user name and password~~. From there~~, ~~follow~~ the ~~instructions to create as many user accounts as you need. As a rule of thumb, we suggest that you create an account for each member of your lab who might submit a BCI2000 bug report~~.
			Migration of BBS accounts may take a little more time. During a transition period, both the BBS's native authentication mechanism, and the new browser-based mechanism will be available in parallel. You should first try to enter user name and password into your browser's log in dialog window; if that is not accepted, clicking 'abort' will pass you on to the familiar BBS log in page.
