Did you read the giant all-caps sticky in this forum that says READ ME FIRST?

MEMBERSHIP ADVANCEMENT AND FEATURES
Member participation is strongly encouraged and rewarded, though we insist that you make your contribution to the TFP as meaningful as possible. Please do not post frivolously to achieve status. Our economy does not run on post counts.
The TFP has many private forums that are not accessible to new users. They are more private, sensitive and community oriented in nature and so we have a very strict screening process to gain access to them.
After a brief probation period (one month at the VERY LEAST), users are reviewed by our moderators to determine if they are mature enough to participate in the private forums.
Infractions of TFP policy will hinder your review and may indefinately postpone it.
When you join, you are allowed to have an avatar.
250 worthwhile posts will earn you an animated avatar. 500 worthwhile posts and at least three months of membership will earn you a custom title. You CANNOT attain these extra privileges if you have not been promoted.
