I was raised in an era where poor manners were met with knots on your head. Unfortunately, we have reached a point in our culture where some people have to be properly potty trained before they are allowed to contribute their two cents in a forum.

I've been a lurker here for a long time too. Guess I'll have to try and not be so anti-social. To the mods - thanks for the forums - and I try and follow the rules.
What exactly is a meaningful post? I'm still a new user and I dont want to spam.
Thanks
And we thank you for that - and for your presence here. Lots of fun to be had here.
Well, it's easier to describe what isn't meaningful...
One word posts (especially when you string several of them together to get a sentence out) - not meaningful. Okay, sometimes a one word response can be meaningful, but it's the exception to the norm.
Simple statements like: "It's cold out, brr." - Not so much either.
Applying a little common sense will get you in the arena. Is there value added to the thread (that's always iffy" in threads like the Genreal Discussion forum "Boost Your Post Count", but you get what I'm getting at here.).

I have been lurking and learning for a while, bought some stuff from the for sale section, but generally haven't had anything to add to most of the discussions ( see lurking and learning above). Today I wanted to post something in the "Wanted" section but ran into the post limit. I read through all 8 pages of this thread and didn't see t mentioned, so I thought it might be worthwhile to suggest that removing the limit from the wanted would be a good idea if the forum software allows it.
At least this adds 1 to my post count.
Thank for hosting such an informational and well run forum.

(Edit: I see this puts me to 4 posts.)

I'm new and I totally understand why you need to do this, you don't want random quick sellers here today and gone tomorrow. Good idea on the site owners part.

I can now view the trading section but can't post anything.
