The only place you can post unregistered is in the help forum, and that's only for asking questions about registration. If you are not registered, you should do so asap. To do so, head to the top of your screen and click the "Register" link. Or you can just click here. You will then be taken to a page that will ask you for your username, e-mail, and other stuff. Please try and use your KoL username - it helps to minimalize confusion. And make sure you use your real e-mail, as a verification e-mail will be sent to the address you provide. Once you are registered, you have full access to the fourms. Innactive accounts get deleted after 60 days. What is radio GKOL? Quoth the Wiki: Radio GKOL, more commonly known as GKOL, is a Shoutcast station that was created by /games regulars, and uses many of those regulars as DJs to host shows. These shows often include games, contests, and prizes. Their motto is: "We exist to give you sh1t." GKOL was mainly created for the entertainment of the chat channel /games. To differ from Radio KoL, GKOL holds frequent contests and giveaways. DJs include: Cyris Flare, Demyx the Dancer, Frankenchrist, GuardianOfFreyja, JanvierBellefeuille, jimmyBUFFET, Merric, MiniGates, Nevena, OracleofDreams, Pieguy259, RuncibleSpoon, ShadowFox, Shinitenshi, StLGirl, Suryc, Tacologic, Tatsuya, Ultiform, and WeyrwomanAnna. If chatbot says GKOL is down, then they are not broadcasting. The station can be listened to with any music player, the most common being Winamp or iTunes. If you want to listen, a DJ will typically have links to the 24k and 64k streams in their profile. If the current DJ does not have links in their profile, you can tune in via their website below. You can also check out their website for links to listen (you need Winamp or iTunes), information on all the DJs and their shows, a schedule, and other useful information! Right now, you are at their official forums. Enjoy the music, and if you have any questions, ask your current DJ. How do I check up on GKOL? This is a very important question.

The quick reply is quick and easy, but you won't have access to more advanced things like quoting, NovoCode formatting, linking, etc. You can only put in text. If you want to do any of that fancy stuff, you need to click the "Post Reply" button at the top or bottom of the thread. Once you make your post, your post will be added to the bottom of the thread for everyone to read and respond to.
