Each and everyone of us, that visit PC has the opportunity to achieve the requirements to go to the private forum. No one is excluded.

That's exactly right, radio_flyer. I think what has happened is that half (if not more) of the membership aren't even aware that this benefit exists.

That's why I brought this up, so that people wouldn't "stumble" across the reference to a private, exclusive forum and not know what it is.

Keb and Always can join right now, they have the number of posts needed, but neither one of them even knew about it.

That's what this is about. Letting people know. I think if they knew about it, it wouldn't seem so secretive.
