good question. Im wandering that myself. Guess this is a test to see if i can PM after sending a reply

I have been registered to hundreds of forums and have never experienced anything like this.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.  Are there any verterans of this board around that can remember why they created this bizarre system?  Was there a spam flood or some hostile takeover attempt?  I'm just curious why the hoops are necessary.

Yeah, I'm sure there was a ton of spam. A forum about what was at one point basically a penny stock loved by relatively crazy political thinkers, that was also loved by people who program and do various other obtuse computer activities? Yeah, that sounds like the biggest bullseye imaginable.

I'm still posting to this area although I am free now, cause some of my inquiries belong here. Now I wonder - how long until I can add an avatar???

I am dead serious about needing an avatar. And my post's have been far from useless, they have helped me and a few others get answers to issues that don't need to be in non-noob areas. Post whatever you want here, it will be moved to the pertinent section as the moderator see's fit.

Do newbies need to start a new topic, or does making a reply count as their first post?

And here is my second sentence.

No a reply counts as a post. I can't post this straight after my other post was sent, so apparently, as newbies, we have a time restriction as well.

Honestly, I have absolutely nothing valuable to say... I just want to remove this restriction just in case.  Wink I'll still spend most of my time just lurking around all the forums anyway.

Reasoning? That's kinda bad for the forum imo, makes it harder to recognize people

Due to a security flaw which was exploited to hack the forums.

Hi,  I'm not so much a newbie as a new member.

Been around the block a few times, so waiting for full access.

I think the newbies restriction is a decent idea tho.

You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours. This post must be substantial: at least several sentences.

Welcome guys
