Hi to the moderator

New members must "activate" their private message privileges. That means you must PARTICIPATE in the forums, post topics, answer other topic postings. These must be substantial posting, not just a few words like, "Hi how are you?" or a smiley, but real contributions.

Once you've posted several times then your mailboxes are unlocked. The more you participate, the bigger the capacity of your mailboxes becomes.

Just remember, don't try and send out copy and paste messages to other members because this will get your mailboxes automatically locked out by our Automated Anti-spam System.

What was in the messages?
Were they cut and paste?

Spamming the PM system usually gets it closed down very quickly.

"I wasn't spamming, just sending a lot of messages looking for friends"  That's spamming.
