You remember wrong. The requirements for becoming a full member have only progressed in one direction: getting harder (that said, it's not particularly hard). Originally, it was only after a certain number of posts. Then that post number was raised (I'm not going to say what it is, but the number is still reasonably low all things considered). Then it was made so that posts in places like the Erogenous Zone and Tilted Nonsense don't count. Then staff review was added into the mix. And now, it requires a certain number of counted posts, being here for a minimum of one month, and staff review. Relatively speaking, becoming a full member is much more difficult now than it ever was. Chances are, you
think it is easier now because, despite being more difficult to actually become a full member (a meaningful promotion), it
is easier to have an avatar now (it used to require 250 posts, now it's available to everyone). Ultimately, though, which do you think is more important? A silly little picture next to your name, or access to the couple full member forums? And those full member forums don't even count Tilted Exhibition, whose requirements are above even those of becoming a full member.
That said, I wouldn't let it worry you, nonplussed. You're not missing anything that would make the site a totally different experience for you, so if you like the site, stick around, and participate in meaningful discussion, you'll become a full member fairly quickly
Being a full member isn't some super secret society, and we're eager to include more people - we just like to take the time and be sure those people already know what the site is about before doing so. From the looks of it, you're already off to a good start
To answer a question you posed in a thread in the Erogenous Zone (probably more appropriate to answer it here anyway)...

It does not have to do with membership level. My guess is that the images were just not working at that time for whatever reason. That happens fairly frequently, because images posted to the Erogenous Zone are hotlinked from elsewhere (which means TFP doesn't host them). When you come across a thread where the images don't work like that, click the report post button (
) and let us know. As for the specific thread you posted that question to, the images look to be working now. (If they're still not working for you, I have no idea why that is, but you can rest assured it's not anything on our end
)
