Post 10 times and it'll open the door ;)

Meets & Events section is open to all so you can access that.

For Sale and Private Messages requires 10 posts first - just as a way of getting people to introduce themselves and become part of the community. Otherwise we'd end up with people registering, posting once to sell their stuff then never see them again...
