What defines an older member?

[Bali]

Hi there everybody.

I was checking the forums and i saw the trading sub forum. Now since i have some stuff to sell, I thought to myself that i would give it a shot.

Since i read the forums most of the times and don't post that much I didn't meet the requirement of >100 posts. Just my luck. But when i was reading the conditions and such, it stated that older members could request permission.

Now for my question:
What defines an older member? How long should one be a member to be considered an older member?

Lol, I guess if you've been around for 5 years, I guess that defines you as a old member... but who knows =X

 

[mthrnite]

They are defined as the members who AIN'T ON MY DAMN LAWN!

..actually, I seem to remember Costello saying something about it.. O yes..

The "members" have access to the trading forum.
The "newcomers" don't.


You're a "member":
- if you have posted at least 100 messages (exc. in the testing area)
- or if you have joined GBAtemp before November 2004 and have posted at least 50 messages.

I believe that stuck, that's what a quick search turned up anyway, if so, just join us in Off-Topic Chat and you'll be to 50 in no time!

Yeah, just don't spam the board with useless crap and you'll be fine

That clears up some things. I thought what it meant by older members is if you weren't able to type 100 posts because of arthritis.

somedays, it feels like i'll have problems typing 100 words in the morning... man i feel old.

That would be the eldest member.

I begged for entrance.

I have been a member long before GBAtemp started offering some of the first torrents.

Direct DL from the site? Such a filthy history!

I take it no repply = denial

Well it's a security precaution, for 1 (or 2) good members in this case there are probably 100 that would be deemed less trust worthy.

 

[BoneMonkey]

i think the 100 post minimum is TOO LITTLE it should be at least 250-500

there are sooooo many ppl trying to rip other ppl off not worth it

 

[VVoltz]

Don't you dare calling me old, I'm only 25.

 

[unusername]
