I really don't think that post count is a good measurable here. Some of us read more than we post and when we feel that we have something useful to contribute we do so and when we seek advise we ask. Others choose to use the site more like a chat line with back and forth banter. Not that there is anything wrong with that, whatever floats your boat. That's what makes OFC what it is, the envy of other boards. We have been able to make something work that others have not. I'm not sure what we are actually trying to accomplish here, but, only allowing those with a minimum number of posts will not do it........ Restricting viewing or other activities on this board can only create a negative experience for those visiting us for the first time.
As for those who want the protect "their spots"......do a better job when you post......... As for those like Moosebunk...........keep posting damn it, keep sharing your life.....you are providing most of us with a few minutes of your world that we would not have otherwise experienced.
