RE: Rejection hurts...especially from the server...
Did you get the rejected from server / failed to log in message the first time you tried (ie. when you were registering)? If so, then your registered username / pw might not have been recorded by the server. If that's the case, try registering using the _M/_F system again.
If it's not the case, I'm not sure what to do next (*waits for Loki/Pandora*)
