Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies).
Does replies to this thread count? ;-)
I sure hope so, it's a bit of a pain, but i'll try and find 4 useful threads to reply to, so i can start posting elsewhere
EDIT: for the record 5 posts was easy. didn't need to spam either
