20 isn't excessive when there are, as of right now, 101,997 members.

Of that 101,997 members 90,202 members have 20 or less posts. So over 90% of the members here have less than 21 posts. You still really think that having 20 post limit is excessive?

20 posts does not take a lot of effort, it cuts down on worthless new threads, and gets you active in a community.

Wholeheartedly agree on this, I am a member of many forums and admin a few as well, I just can't let myself post BS thread revivals or meaningless shit just so I can post a question I can't find an answer to. And yes, I have searched, and searched.....

Yes, I really think a 20 post limit is excessive. I'm not saying the concept is unfounded, but the standard post limit is 10, in some places as low as 5.

Even if you could justify the post limit being high in comparison to these other places, it still needs to at least be documented. You'll have prospective members (like myself) posting in other people's threads and trying to get their post count up, only to get to 10 and find they still cannot post. I literally gave up at that point and only came back months later when lo-and-behold... my 4Runner had another issue.

Saying "Just post on old threads with the same issue" isn't good advice either. In many communities, posting on old, dated threads is actually against the rules. Raising a thread from the dead (Necroing) a thread is serious faux pas in quite a lot of places. As someone who is very well versed in online community etiquette, it is far from intuitive that this would be considered "good form".

For transparency: I'm a senior level admin on one of the largest forums in the world and that's been my job for 6 going on 7 years. I also have worked extensively with hundreds, possibly thousands of communities.

I'd like to post a new thread about a buying and travel experience, but this high of a limit is certainly a hoop to jump through

The thing is, I'd like to post a new thread that hopefully WON'T be worthless, but instead I've been spending days looking for threads to post in without adding worthless content to those conversations. Double edged sword here.

I'm in the same boat, it's hard for me to come up with replys to 20 posts in a reasonable amount of time.

Perhaps 10 posts would have been more reasonable?

So much torture to try and be active in community, I know. to put a little effort in and getting something decent in return. Even if you are just posting in this thread 19 times it shows that you are at the very least trying. Most would just post a couple of times and leave, and those are the people that, if I dare say should go somewhere else anyway Welcome to the forum.

Add another by posting here:

and here:
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-ge...e-gallery.html
and maybe here:
Post your LIFTED pix here!
