Does anyone know where I can find resources for Old Korean or Middle Korean?

I guess I should ask some Korean discussion boards, but I need the 주민등록번호 (a unique number given to every Korean citizen) to register on Korean discussion boards, and I just don't have that with me anymore because I am no longer a citizen of Korea.

Maybe your local library can get something for you on inter-library loan.

Are you serious? A government ID is required to post on an Internet forum. I had no idea South Korea was that
fascist.

Your best bet is probably going to be a library at a University with an East Asian languages department. Or just ask
Prof. Arguelles, he'll know.

I seems it should be simple to come up with a fake 주민등록번호, the number is described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_registration_number

Make up your number, then you only need to figure out what is the last digit, just try 0-9 until you get in.

Nah, they check it against databases, from what I've heard. There are several Koreans in my area who can't use Korean websites because of this type of thing >.<

If you speak korean you can just ask the webmaster to make an account for you, usually
they do that if you send in a copy of your passport...

the registration number is only required officially on websites that have a certain
number of visitors/members... smaller websites, even if they ask for a registration
number, are often willing to just make you an account without if you ask.

To clarify... an ID number isn't just issued to Korean citizens, it's issued to anyone with a long-term visa. By long-term I mean anything other than a tourist visa basically. Anyway, for websites, as was mentioned, a foreign passport is often accepted. They just want proof of identity more than anything.

Sure, it's annoying, but perhaps other social networking sites like Facebook should have identity checks to clamp down on the perverts... and murderers like reported last week in Australia.
