It either discourages members from visiting or forces them to. And those 10 posts will just be a tiny bit of activity... it's just hollow, if you ask me.

Otherwise, they might post their introduction topic, close the window, and never check back again. At least that's what I assume. :p Edited by Existence4, Mar 12 2009, 07:47 PM.

In the real world, you have to pay (usually with cash or a source of currency) to acquire what you need or desire, but on a forum, you "pay" with posts. This way, you give back to the forum since you are taking something from them, like the idea of Supply and Demand. Edited by Eerie Abyss, Mar 14 2009, 04:12 PM.

I just did it in a manner of like 15 minutes.

We have a great, small community which you might miss out on if you just come for designs and leave, without trying to participate. 10 posts allow users to experience the community and see if they enjoy it or not. Maybe you will revisit and join our community. :)

I wish as well that you didn't have to post but really and truly it is only fair.
