I believe Larry is currently busy so he might simply have not taken the
time (and will be occupied into I believe November).

I will also note that Benjamin, Larry, and Raymond can be a bit quiet at
times and so they may not have signed up yet because they have not had
anything to say to compel them to create accounts (Stefan has already
stated he doesn't like this idea so I'm assuming that might be why he has
not signed up yet).
