Access to the OMNI Fora
"OMNI, and OMNI/PR are forums where members who meet the 180/180 criteria can discuss non-travel related topics. These topics can range from anything like the NFL draft to medical topics, to pet ownership and weather in OMNI, and any political or religious topic in OMNI/PR.
Posts in OMNI and OMNI/PR do not count towards your post count."
Access to the OMNI fora requires you have 180 days of membership tenure on FlyerTalk and that you have made 180 contributive posts.
NOTE the FlyerTalk Rules caveat about "post padding":
"14. Post-Padding (link to this Rule)
Post-padding or other methods of repeated posting to artificially inflate a post count, enhance visibility on the board, or for any other reason, are not allowed."
Unable to access OMNI [requires 180 days/180 posts]

Sorry, I just saw your post today... Depends on what you call "run" I did post one or two posts in the hours before... Given I have been a member since 2010 and used to have access I would think that I would be ok...
It's the pattern and/or the "goal" for making posts during a certain period of time, which has been covered extensively in this thread. You can read it at your leisure time.

You will need both >180 days of membership AND >180 posts. (But please note the caution regarding "post-padding" -- folks have found their post counts reset after a "run" of such posts. Not that that is something you would be considering, I'm sure

It's really quite simple - you need 180 days of membership and 180 posts. One of these requirements you have, the other you do not.
And by the way, doing a "posting run" in order to gain access to OMNI will likely result in not being granted access, so post wisely and slowly.

At 180/180. Still no access. Or is it actually 181/181?
Edit: still no, even after logging-in/out. 99.9% sure I wasn't post-padding unless posting more than five times a day qualifies...
Edit 2: apparently it takes a couple of minutes.
