I see most new members that join or try to join "Investor Hangout" end up with a "DEMO Membership" instead of a "Free membership". I know I had one party ask me about this on another message board and I have no answer nor any way to help him. This DEMO account seems to take away from IH possibilities but that is just my thought?

I would enjoy helping a few new DEMO members become Free member status but I do not have the know how nor the latitude. Maybe this has been addressed in past messages here but from what I gather maybe something else might be considered. An easier way to follow instructions when joining? I just see this need, all a person needs to do is check out the ratio between DEMO and FREE membership.
