What's in it for me?

Yeah, that's something we say all the time too. Especially when the boss comes around and asks us to do something. Usually he says "You won't get fired", but sometimes he just hits us and puts the chains back on. We're thinking of maybe telling him how we feel.

But enough about us. You want to know why you should bother getting yet another username and password on yet another web site? Ok. Here's some reasons.

Your favourites can't get deleted - If you don't have an account, then you run the risk of deleting the recipes you've added to "your favourites", as well as any bar ingredients you've added to "your bar", whenever you delete your browser cookies. This can be a real pain, and is one of the primary reasons we've made it possible to get an account. No more disappearing recipes! Your selections will be stored safely in our database, and can't be accidentally deleted.
Imperial to Metric conversions - It is now possible to choose your recipe display preferences, and your settings will be saved. We do the conversions for you, so you don't have to memorize how many deciliters in a bushel. (It's 352.390702, but see, you don't have to know that anymore.)
Find your submitted recipes - By associating any recipes you might submit with your account, it makes it easy for you to find them again. We put links right in your account page so you can show all your friends your recipes and get them to make them for you.
Automatic forum registration - You can post in the forums using the username you create. There's no need to create another forum account.
Privacy - We don't care who you are, where you live, or if you prefer Mary-Kate over Ashley. The only thing you need to register with is a working email address. And heck, you can get those anywhere.
We'll kill these puppies if you don't - Seriously. We will. We're crazy, man, we'll do it! Ha ha... we're just kidding. They're so cute! Awww... the widdle puppies. Er... where were we?
Oh yeah, the reasons - right. We kind of got sidetracked by that puppy thing.
All the cool kids do it - If that doesn't get you, then nothing will.
