Honest question, how do you pm someone? I read somewhere that you need 15 posts/replies to pm, is that true? Why?
Yes, you need 15 posts.
Why? You’d have to ask a moderator, but my guess is to make it difficult for spammers to flood these boards.
If there is someone with whom you want to communicate, though you can put the @ sign in front of their screenname in a post on this thread, and ask them to PM you.
