Why can't I post to Joint Ventures

I'm sure everybody and his brother is holding their breath just waiting to JV with someone named "m1522632" who hasn't contributed squat to this community but wants to reap the benefits right out of the gate.

Just kidding.

Perhaps there's a threshold in place for a reason.

Wonder what that would be...:rolleyes:

Sometimes a man has to take matters into his own hands and go market hard enough to be the "pursued". Thats my plan. "John and Darren dont get On No Plane".

Just work hard independently... when the gravy comes along its a bonus.

Let me explain something about the Warrior forum - it's something you will "get" once you read enough anyway -- but I'll give you the shortcut -

The Warriors isn't a message board. It's a very tight community. Those that figure out and adapt the community ethos (mindset) earn their place here. Those that don't ever "get it" usually just wander off eventually.

Around here you have to EARN trust. It takes some time. Some features are cut off completely to new members because every now and again we get waves of "get rich quick at any cost" types in here that scam, cheat, etc and generally just plain pollute the community. We don't like that type. So there are posting requirements set to give people time to prove that they are really Warrior Material.

These may be a pain in the butt for newbies -- but it keeps the community clean of parasites and keeps the Warrior name one of quality and comradery, a place where people work and play together instead of existing as just one more IM meat market.

If you take your time and earn you're place, doors will open. So just access the features that you can, make friends, give value (and feel free to take some as well). As pointed out in other posts, you aren't really set right here with no name and few posts that anyone here is gong to be open to a JV anyway. Nobody knows you.

If you are seriously here to build a solid future you'll stick around -- if all you wanted was some quick business...well, you hit the wrong place for that.

As Steven said, as with learning the guitar or anything else worthwhile... you have to give until it hurts , then keep giving, until it hurts some more... Paul might even give you the ole proverbial "white glove" to the face every now and then...., and you have to say Yes Sir".

And it may take months... or maybe years to be noticed in a community this large... then one day the tide comes back in from your seed planting, usually in an enlightening moment of epiphany... (mine was witnessing a stretch of dialogue between Honorable Mr. Waggenhiem and CDarklock), and suddenly you are like "Hey! I know my place", and you stand in it... for me it has been 10 years... worth it?

Well lets just say the fact that it was 10 years made it 10 times MORE worth it, because now I beam with pride to be a Warrior!

You guys are just toooo funny...

Give and give and give.... then you die. But hopefully you gave lots of cheer to people who needed it! Eventually it will come back to you...

Why would you want to post when you are not in a joint venture with anyone?

I understand when you would want to contribute or ask a few questions, then there are other places on the forum where you could do that.

One of my favorite lines in Jeremiah Johnson...when he walks up to his friend buried up to his neck in sand, middle of the desert. Guy's bald and sweating and trying to blow ants off his face.

Jeremiah: Indians do this to you?

Baldy: t'weren't Mormons!

You might try posting a Photoshopped copy of 'your' bank statement. That may help you get in quicker.

I suspect he meant 'moron,' and something auto-corrected it for him.

Let's add a little extra hurdle for him...
