Welcome! If you had an account in the old WakeWorld Discussion Board, that account information has been transferred to this system. You should be able to use your email to request a new password (passwords are encrypted so we couldn't bring them over). That way you will carry on with your old account which has your name, post count, sign up date, etc. Go here to request a new password for your account:

If you weren't a registered member of the old discussion board, but you'd like to get involved with the new WakeWorld WakeSpace community, get your account set up at
http://www.wakeworld.com/signup.php.
If you have any questions, post them here and we'll keep this thread at the top of the forum for a while (as soon as I figure out how to make a thread "sticky").
