I'm in the same boat... glad I found an active forum for the new to me bike. But I need to up my post count and wait a couple weeks to advertise anything for sale. Small price to pay for a good forum.
I think all of the changes are reasonable with the exception of the 25 posts. I read the forum almost daily but do not post as I do not have anything to say about everything I read. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great forum and much better then some of the other ones I have been on when owning other brand of bikes. How many bikes?? 25 and still going. Thanks Topstroke

Topstroke the limit is so that we can at least get to know sellers a little bit. People will join a forum for the sole purpose of sticking something in the classifieds. On other forums I belong to people have the most issues with people with low post counts. Someone selling a product that has been a member for a whopping 7 minutes selling something is suspect to me. A little history sets the mind at ease. Not a guarantee, but it ups the odds that you are dealing with a legitimate seller. Our forum classifieds are for the convenience of forum members only, not the general public. I can think of no other way to ensure that, other than to only let those who contribute to the forum, participate in that section of the forum.
