That would be a safe way. I think.

But honestly: Just use the forums. There's tons of interesting stuff here. Even in the newbie area. I seriously don't get how people have such big problems with these requirements? They are easily overcome if you just use the newbie section. Must be part of the "I want it all. And I want it now." mentality that a lot of the younger folk seems to have nower days. Besides that there are ways around these requirements if you really have pressing reasons to be accepted to the forum right away.
