and its very annoying that i have to introduce myself 20 times before i can post on a real board. hi im chris , i like conspiracy theory. in the course of 35 years i have laughed and loved, seen ghosts and a blue spirit in my bathroom, ive biked many miles and have been abducted on several occasions, so there you go can i post in a relavent forum now cause im not here to introduce myself

I've never introduced myself before , but had no problem posting in the main ATS area .
Easy to get 20 posts there , then you can start your own threads .
Would be interested in hearing some of your experiences .
Start posting , you know you wanna

You can participate in any threads you want, on ATS or on BTS. You just can't create any threads until you've got 20 posts, that's all. 20 posts are quickly made...

Yea i figured it out but all i wanted to do was start a thread, it was intresting and im shure it would have gotten a lot of replys but i guess it will have to wait . 18 more posts to go

What?When did this rule start?

I don't know but in the past ive been able to start threads but i guess the rules are subject to change 17 to go !!!!

awesome !!! but you will notice that i have 2 threads too 7 more to go now !!!

yeah. it also sucks that you can't send a message to anyone before you have 20 posts... someone emailed me, and I can't even reply.

[Double Post] Sorry I double posted.

This is annoying.

I have posted in other ATS forums previously, and then this relatively new rule came into place. And all of a sudden I cannot post in those forums.

I mean, how many times can you introduce yourself?

I am always finding interesting stuff to discuss or show others, but because ATS is not very "new user" friendly, I tend to post it elsewhere.

i dont think it's such a pain, although people will flood post with pointless replies in order to boost their post counts *cough*

And you can still post in those forums. You can reply to threads. But you can't start new threads unless you have made 20 posts. Seriously, it's not that bad. Please don't exaggerate.
