How to join the the wiki.answers.com site?

[Vreneli]

When I try to sign up I get a box to join Facebook (which I definitely do NOT want to join). Is there anyway round this?

From what I can see on their HELP page, you can USE Wiki Answers without making an account. (as in post a question, possibly also post an answer). But to actively JOIN the site, you have to have a Facebook account and use that to join now. Legacy members (from before the site was "converted") seem to be able to sign in without using Facebook. If I remembered my signin and password, I would test that. I DID test posting a question without joining and that DID work:

Well, amazingly enough, I DID remember my signin ID and password correctly and just logged into my old Wiki Answers account. So if you had an OLD account, you can still use that.
