Sometimes when I want to join a forum it slinshots me to a paqge wich it says "Sorry, but only users granted special access can read topics in this forum." How can I read these forums???

Oh, sorry... its "slingshots" I ate a letter.

You have to ask for permission, which is usually only granted - by hunter - after xxx sensible posts (a number placed to both weed out the occassional wierdo, and kept random to avoid spamming).

The initiation rituals for entering the most exclusive forums are, of course, both secret, arcane and somewhat painful.

Hippo controls access to rants, although I can ofcourse... I just don't check the usergroup often because I get no notifications when someone applies.

I used to get notification, but it stopped... Email subscriptions work though... Odd...

I noticed that. It's like the forum just decides to shut up every so often.

Well ok, HEY ADMINISTRATORS, CAN I GET THE KEY TO THOSE FORUMS?

how about that?........................................................ wait a sec! xxx sensible posts??? whats that for??

sensible porn posts, of course! We have to have something to keep us coming back.
