Says I don't have permission and I need to donate.. as you can see from my profile there, I indeed have.. Maybe I'm too new?
FlapJ4cks, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
The most common cause of this problem is that your account has not been upgraded to allow you to post on these forums. In order to be validated to post, you either need a recommendation from an existing member, or you need to make a donation of $2 or more so that that we know you are a real person (We figure if you have a PayPal account that you really exist). See the instructions in the New User forum section for more information.
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
LOL, I went through the same thing when I first heard about them. There is a number of posts you have to have (I think that's the magic key) before you can see them. When you get there they will suddenly appear as a forum section.

New users could do something like start a repair thread where they document fixing something with lots of pictures and updates. That drives your post count and shares information with the community. Also you are not just randomly spewing meaningless posts across the forums to hit the number.
Western PA here. Wonderin why Pittsburgh has nowhere to go. Instead of combining, why not expand PA to include all of it? Or poll the closest state cities into locales. I think this would create more realistic networking areas. For example, Cleveland OH and Morgantown WV are all 2 hours from me.
Also, unrelated note, we should be able to search state abbreviations in the trading section. As it stands, I can't search 'PA'. (I know. Shameless to state this here.)
Maybe group Florida with South Carolina and Gerogia. If Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi don't get much activity, just lump them in also. A few big cities covered here, all Florida cities, Atlanta, Charleston and Columbia.
