    There is only one place in which you cannot post and that is the Classifieds. You cannot "welcome" other members in the Introductions and Greetings forum, but you can create (and post in) your own Intro thread.

    If you are a new member yourself, why would you be welcoming a new member?

    The ability to welcome new members was so heavily abused by people racing to 50 posts that we had to restrict it. It was used as a quick and dirty way to run up their post count.

    Mostly, because i'm a personable guy and I like to be social on social websites. Most everyone likes being welcomed! But I can see the reasoning behind the restriction. No worries. I'll either build relationships and contribute or I'll move on in peace.:)

    Stick around. You'll learn a bunch and I'm sure you have information to share that will benefit us all.;)

    Took you long enough. You've been at it since 2009. I think it's safe to say that you did'nt join just for the classifieds. :laugh:

    working hard on mine

    My advice is to refrain from worrying about it, find a topic you like, fall into the conversation, and it will take care of itself as opposed to trying to crank out the mandatory 50. Faster, easier, and less frustrating. Further, you will be far less likely to get any posts deleted, as opposed to one individual who recently posted like 30 times "Hmmmmm" as a complete post. Needless to say, the mods said "Hmmmm" as they deleted a bunch of his posts. The Quakers had a pearly of wisdom that you should not speak unless you can improve upon silence. That really applies here, and if you find something that is interesting to you and chime in, it is pretty easy to get your 50 meaningful posts is a relatively short time.

    Now this thread is the "I'm not new here and the 50 post rule is irrelevant to me now but I'm still gonna complain about when I WAS new and the 50 post rule sucked" thread?

    Man, you don't check in on a thread for a day or so and the whole universe gets jacked up!:laugh::laugh::laugh:
    Here let me put another spin on it for you. :popcorn:

    When I joined there were no Classifieds here at INGO...

    or

    I can remember when there was no post limit to use the Classifieds...

    ^^^No wonder why you have over 12,000 posts Jeremy! :)::)
    just trying to make it to my 50 "Quality" posts so I can use the Classifieds. I figure I'll bombard them with Volume so Maybe some will get through the fray and be counted as Quality posts.... :D

    I have got my sights set on this nickel plated, gold inlayed, fully illuminated .45 hi-point... :popcorn:
