I have tried to use the PM feature and thread starting I understand the rule applies to anyone under the age of 21 but I really need to get in contact with a member selling his truck on the board... I am 20 years old and although I am not sure why the regulation is in place I will respect it if someone can help me get in touch with HWN3nc so I can speak to him about his truck.

if a moderator could at least get in contact I would appreciate it. I've never owned a 4x4 before so I've had no need to be on this board but now that I want to purchase one it seems that its VERY hard to enter into this group.

21 seems a little harsh. I just joined, but I'm 24. I would be pretty upset if I couldn't post a thread or PM at 20. After all, you're several years out of high school, possibly about to graduate a 4 yr college, or have already graduated from a 2 yr with a job and can't PM or post?

Hope that's not the rule, but if it is seems kind of proposterous to me. 18 maybe, but 21!?
 
"Due to the amount of requests, we will be activating COPPA soon. What this means is that under 21 folks will be able to read the board, and post in Chit-Chat only. Until they have a sponser. If the software catches someone and you don't think is should, please PM an Admin. This will also catch those with no year dates so please update your profile. The year is hidden except to Admins and Mods for your protection. We will have to go back and exclude those that are sponsered already so please bear with us."

that was under the sticky labeled Under 21 on the general chit chat area...


THANK YOU VERY MUCH Dylan W.
 
^ well it is what it is, doesn't affect me, and it's a "private" forum so they can do as they wish. maybe keeps down on some of the BS. oh well. goodluck!
 
Well, you're welcome to search for the word sponsor in general and see what you get. Also, are you saying you cannot use PM? It works just as well or better than a post in a thread, because there is an alert in their top right corner of the screen.

Go to a meet and greet or to the Uwharrie cleanup on the 12th. You're sure to meet someone who'd be willing to be a sponsor and clean all of that up.

I definitely understand the need to keep the BS down I know how other car forums are that I've been a long standing member of. I would attend a meet and greet if I felt the need but until recently I've never even looked at owning a 4x4

Hobie yes I'm saying that the PM will not function for me either that is what I was most upset about because I've never had that kind of limitation as a new member on any sight even though I understand the reasoning
 
Well I may be wrong about the PM because I just received a reply from a admin that I sent earlier that I assumed had not gone through since it didn't show up under sent messages... Anyone else have this problem?

check your settings... i believe it defaults where it doesnt save a copy of sent messages to keep down on your message space.
 
oh man :( wow I look dumb now cause I prolly attempted to send 10 messages thinking it was an error on my computer...

THANK YOU GUYS very much for the help... hopefully I'll see you guys around the next big meet
 
^ See, this is why we can't have nice things.

Nah, just kidding, hope you are able to get your new rig! It is kind of funny that you kept sending messages, though :)
 
haha well I wasnt sure it was sending and believe me I hate the trouble makers and will try my best to stay out of trouble lol, i was just like my god bc I am 20 instead of 21 I can't contact someone about getting what I've always wanted lol.
