Community is the focus of this forum imho. Before granting full membership, i think thats what is expected of new arrivals. If your intent is to just use the nexus's supplier section to find what you seek, then thats not focusing on the community aspect, which is the nucleus of what this site is about.

In no way am i implying what you are doing is just trying to get membership to find mhrb, but some do. The nursery, and "proving grounds" helps sort out who just wants to use the site, and who wants to contribute to the community. Once again, i'm just trying to explain why you are not able to immediately have access to supplier sections of the forum, not accusing you of joining with that intent only.

It may come off as elitist, and exclusionary to some, but you seem to realize that supplier forums are but a small aspect of the nexus. All the policy asks as i see it, is that a bit of effort is put forth to learn, share, and expand before hand.

Welcome to the nexus, and i hope you do contribute and share your knowledge.

To quote the beatles :thumb_up:

Or if you want the actual quote from mccartney, un-misquoted-

And in the end, the love you get is equal to the love you give
