I can't really think of any reason you can't reply.

It's because you need to have 250 posts under your belt to post in that forum, I see you only have 192.

2) Post-Count Limitations:
We've agonized over several ways to prevent a deluge of questions and threads, from accepting applications to random drawings... and none seem fair. As a result, we've settled on a revised requirement of 250 posts for ATS members to be able to participate in the "View From Marrs" forum.

thanks for filling me in. cheers

There are also instances where moderators will close a thread covering a topic already covered by a preexisting thread. You can still read them but you will not be able to post a reply. Keep an eye out for those, too!
