When Can I Use The Main Members Forum

I’ve been wondering Is there something else I need to do to post on the main members section, no matter what I do it always seems to be locked for me.

Is it like that for everyone or am I just special?

Look at the bottom of this very same thread, 17ml.

There is a time requirement, 30 days I think. There is also a post requirement, 30 posts I think before the other forums open for posting new threads.

This is what I remember, I could be off a little on either. I think it is probably a deterrant for spammers mostly.

Also, I think you can reply, just not start new threads on the other forums (I havn’t tried yet).

Here are the guidelines, 17ml:

/faq.html#faq_t … t_here_newforum

From that:

New Members can reply to any thread, in any forum, but can only start new threads in the Newbie Forum. Once 30 posts have been made, and after 14 days from registration, new threads can be started in all the forums (except the Main Member Forum, which requires Senior Member (300 posts) status) and an avatar can be uploaded.

So:

• 1 - 30 posts or less than 14 days membership: You can start a thread only in the Newbie Forum. [1]
• 31 - 300 posts or less than 28 days membership: You can start a thread in the Newbie Forum and everywhere else except for the Main Member Forum.
• 300+ posts and greater than 28 days membership: You become a Senior Member, and can start a thread anywhere including the Main Member Forum.

Thanks guys.

Right now! :D
