Get 100 posts here and then the magical 'for sale' and 'wanted' private sale forums open up to you.

Very handy.

Well that's inflation for you! In my day....[insert rambling story about how numbers that high weren't even invented]...twice, uphill, both ways!

227 more posts! And at current rates of 12 posts a year... roughly, you will be eligible in 20 years. Probably in time for an upgrade to the Core 2345678 Bajilliono and the 88888800000000 GTS.

I thought it was 100, got to it but by time I did it was put up to 250

Been waiting years to get access to those forums!

I seem to recall I had an opinion on everything when they introduced that rule. No thread was safe...

Really, a few hours of your time 'community building' is well worth it for the extra super secret forums. Nerdvana awaits...

also i've heard about this really strange and unknown website where you actually bid for 2nd hand and new things in a kind of online auction :confused:

, but i doubt it will ever take off, anyone else heard of this site?

Erm, I think I might have heard of it.
But I forget the name.
Am sure someone will know though.
You'd think I'd be able to remember the name!
