Basically, yes.
Randy has said that Coupon Connection privileges "come to you, you don't come to them."
I'm sure he'll clarify if and when he wants to.

It seems that having such a board and keeping it selective is not in the best interest of an "open" board. Why maintain such an elite status for select people on this board.

Umm seeing as to how this is the dealing with the same situation, would it be a reasonable assumption that there's now some requirement (such as the posting requirement being expanded) in order to view SPAM and OMNI? (one might also want to remove the OMNI link that is on every page).

Spam/omni
I lost access to SPAM and OMNI as well today. I could never post in those forums but I could always view them. I thought there was something odd about that...but I ended up getting to use the ING link in SPAM and tried to help someone else on the same ING thread by PM (since I couldn't post in SPAM) so it worked out ok for me. Looking forward to getting access to these forums (again), but I'm not holding my breath...I just don't post very often.
I'm not complaining, I appreciate the forums I can get to and the knowledge in them. Thanks!

I didn't want to call you out by name, but thanks for stepping up to the plate, I appreciate it.

I have (under my previous and unpronounceable ID kdbab64) posted items on Coupon Connection when I had certs I couldn't use. Now, when I was hoping to see whether someone might have a NW zone cert to help me get to GLA this summer for a conference, I discover that the forum isn't open to the likes of me.
If it's based on posts, I'll never qualify, as I don't visit often.
Update: Okay, I posted too soon. I can see the forum name listed anywhere, but it appears that if I find it via searching, I can read and possibly post there.
Confusing...
