**Attention All New members: The 10 post minimum For PM Access
 

Hey all, a great way to build post count, as well as community, is to go into our Introductions Forum and welcome new members. 10 greetings is 10 posts, and the PM box magically opens up. So does the ability to post pictures and links.

Lounge posts (Foo and the others in the Lounge) do not build post count, so y'all know. The rest of the forums do count toward post count.

Finally, if you upgrade to premium Titanium membership, your PM box opens, you lose the ads, and you get access to all forums to start threads. These include the Titanium Club, and all the Marketplace areas from the central "General" Market, to the specialized Road, Folding Bike, and Mountainbike markets.

This can be done here: http://www.bikeforums.net/payments.php

We instituted the 10 post minimum for good reason and are not planning on changing policy anytime in the near or even far future. This minimum also apploies to access requests being approved for access to our shielded Women's Forum (Access to that is granted by Siu Blue Wind, my able right hand) via a PM request, so you still have to have those 10 posts, or a request via PM to me for access to Politics and Religion, also an invitation only forum with a 10 post minimum
