yeah, I just registered, but I really wonder what happened here in the past for the mods to come up with these restrictions.

But hey, it's their house so live by their rules. I manage a forum myself, so I know how hard it can be sometimes.

The hardest part for me is that you can't post in any of the interesting topics, because you have to get a certain level of posts before being allowed to do so. Thus creating a climate where I need to spam for a while prior to participating in the discussions that really intrest me  :p
