    50 posts?

    Just noticed some regulars complaining about spammers trying to get to 50 posts. Errm... forgive my ignoreance but what happens at 50 posts?
    An Atlantean Triumvirate, Ghosts of the Past, The Centre Cannot Hold
    The Pillars of Britain, Foundations of the Reich, Cracks in the Pillars.

    My books are available here for Amazon Kindle. Feedback always welcome!

    Yeah, 50 posts is there to protect existing users of the forum and make sure people have earned it. We can spot the spammers long before they hit 50.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
