How to become a full member
Sorry to be dense, but... I keep seeing references to being a "full member" but I have not seen any discussions about how to attain that status or what it means. I gather that it opens certain forums that are otherwise invisible, but I could use a tutorial.
I know the info is on the site somewhere, so maybe somebody could just point me to it. Thanks |

I remember when becoming a full member was much more difficult.
If you want to know about Becoming... I suggest the movie Tommyknockers by Stephen King. They cover it in great detail there.

Act like an adult, contribute to the conversations you find interesting and start conversations, if you see fit. It's pretty simple. There is no one answer to cover everyone who signs up. Some people may progress through the ranks faster than others for very good reasons. Some people may not progress at all. Quality is and always has been more important than quantity. If you have specific questions, you can always ask them here, another thread or by PM'ing a mod or admin.

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)... Quote:

You will not get early membership if you refer a bunch of people. You will not get early membership if you are best friends with a moderator. You will not get early membership if you are my biggest client. You will not get early membership if you (maybe especially if) you're Halx's sister. If you are an active member, you will earn it yourself. Just like anything worth having.

I know I haven't been here long, but I think I got the idea down. Don't think of it as a level that you need to obtain, but rather think of full membership as an added benifit later on.
Just enjoy what this has to offer now and you'll acheive the benefit of full membership later on down the road. It's like a probation period, but without limitation to posting.

warning geeky references ahead
The test to achieve full membership! (is this a bad point to mention I didn't read the new member stuff and just started posting?) ARTHUR: What is this test, O Knights of-- knights who till recently said 'ni'? HEAD KNIGHT: Firstly, you must find... another shrubbery! [dramatic chord] ARTHUR: Not another shrubbery! RANDOM: Ni! HEAD KNIGHT: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must place it here beside this shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get the two-level effect with a little path running down the middle. KNIGHTS OF NI: A path! A path! A path! Ni! Shh! Ni! Ni! Ni! Shh! Shh!... HEAD KNIGHT: Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring! [dramatic chord] KNIGHTS OF NI: A herring!
