Being affected by this personally, I know I'm partial.

The whole "90 posts" and "member for 90 days" to grant someone access to the special forum where everyone gives away money and beer flows like wine seems excessive. I think there should be a stipulation where if you have, say, over 120 days it drops to 60 required posts. And also, a way to circumvent the whole process if you can be validated in some other way (i.e. in person by another respected member, etc). Nothing major, but it sounds a bit more fair to me. I know I'm an abnormal user not posting on a daily basis, but thought I'd throw that out there.
