Speed limit to access private forum?

[stevenmac2]

I sent a quick note over to Russ about the private forum since I reached the 25 mph, but could not get access. He suggested I ask this out to the forum since he believes that the 25 mph speed limit may have been raised? Can a FL Admin confirm what the new speed limit is? Also, can you share briefly how the topics differ from the public forums - what are the advantages to the private forum?

Thank you,

We only talk about politics, sex and religion in the private forum.

Mostly sex.

You also need 100 posts in addition to the speed ... however, I reduced it to 50 since that seems fairer.

Mostly sex.

Sounds like my kind of place, lol. I can't access it either.

[stevenmac2]

Thanks MJ for the access by reducing the posts.

Darkside, it is everything they say it is and much more

You're a lucky bastard. You were granted access to the forbidden zone where the elite of this forum wine and dine and have orgies. This is how I imagine it must be like:

I honestly didn't know about the private forums until reading this thread. I've even posted in that mythical place... but have since forgotten about it's existence.

Time to enter the private forum! xD

Same here. Didn't realize there was a private forum until I saw this thread. I usually just look at the list of recent posts rather than go to a particular section of the forum.

Don't forget the secret handshake. i think it's so secret only BLFBob knows it.

For bringing into your rememberance about the "forbidden zone", that at least deserves a 1 mph speed up (ok.. maybe 0.5 mph) ha!

About the Secret handshake - believe it or not, they did away with that too! MJ now only requires you to pinkie swear that you are bffs - 4ever and ever and ever.

I go to the VIP room . . . er, I mean the Speed Lounge . . for the umbrella drinks.

Ok I have more than 25mph and more than 50 posts, I've tried submitting a help ticket - but I still don't have access.

Can someone please tell me what I need to do??

Thanks

I noticed this back in the day as well. Just because you hit 25 MPH doesn't mean you have immediate access to the private forum...

You need the specific amount of rep points-

I believe its 360+ points. Not sure though.

I am at 30mph - which is 430 plus - I am actually at 497 points.

So if it isn't 25mph and 50 posts - what is it?

[WhatamanJackson]

I'm curious also on how to get into the coveted VIP lounge

[RichKid]

Level 2 is 70 mph, so I imagine level 1 would have been raised from 25 mph to something higher.

I have no idea though, and either way, not much is discussed in the private forums.

I know it exists, but I don't ever seem to go there.

It's sort of like the next level in the RD training program.
Once you get there, you see it isn't as exciting as you'd hoped.

Post good stuff. Gain in post count and quality. And you'll be bored there sooner than later.

Actually, about the only thing that is there that is a reason for going is that you can discuss things that you don't want the rank and file to know about.

Marital issues. Money problems. Strange internet videos of you and a certain camel.
