I can't stand it either. Most of my posts have pictures attached. I still haven't hit 100 posts after almost a year because I would rather say nothing than just try to get my numbers up. Do I get into the secret bunker after 100?
No, you either have to be a donator, there are some, but we don´t take donations anymore (so their number won´t increase), to reach one part of the secret bunker at least...
For the main part of Area 51 you have to be an admin or a super mod.
So there is no need for thank posts, using the thanks bottom truly is better. There are two kinds of members only, fresh meat and members, nothing else. There is no further promotion in our system, and that´s good as it is...
all members are equal...
