How many of these 24-hour tests are you going to do??? Because again I'm unable to click on pictures. I understand it's only a one day thing but it is extremely frustrating.

I am still a little unclear as to what exactly are the requirements to remove the lurker status so that we aren't affected by the 24 hour tests. Do we need to have a certain amount of thanks for posts, a certain amount of content uploaded or a certain amount of replies? Reading through this thread explains a lot but isn't really clear on that point.

That being said I am trying to be more mindful about clicking thanks on posts. I tend to forget that a lot although I do have to say this site is great and has a wonderful amount of content or links to other content on i and I am happy this site even exists the way it does. Too bad I cannot afford the membership otherwise this would be one of the few sites I would pay for (actually considering a lifetime pass when I do get the money for it so long as that is still an option).

Also on a side note, I agree that niches are really key to some of the best content. Too bad haven't found one yet for girls by area, that would be a good one I think.

The minimum criteria for not being labelled a lurker is the same as we use for being allowed free access to the .ZIP and .RAR files.

You simply need to upload over 2 Megabytes of photos, .ZIP or .RAR files AND receive 20 or more "Thanks" for your post(s).

The uploading requirement is really not large, posting the minimum shows more of a token gesture that a member is willing to be active here.

I'm glad to hear that a 24 hour test is why I am unable to view photos.

I have been lurking here for quite some time. I appreciate the operators of this site and all of the photos on it and click like when a particularly good post catches my eye. That being said, I think a minimum upload policy is a bad idea. I think it will just result in lots of reposts. Some people enjoy taking voyeur photos and sharing them with the net while other people enjoy looking at them. It seems like a win/win to me.

doesn't bother me 2bh. Just gives me an incentive to be social here.

GJ on the upkeep of the forum guys. Hundreds of thousands of people appreciate it lol.
