deadhead4eva,
Welcome to the Nexus. I'm sorry I neglected to respond to this when you first posted it - again the Halloween date played into this significantly. I have found that when I post things there the amount of response is directly related to both the content of the post as well as the time of the original posting. Many folks just attend to the topmost posts . . .
Promotion to Forum Member from New Member just takes time and you have to post. You have to show that you understand this place (it's really different from other forums - even drug ones) and the rules here. Mods and The Traveler (admin) can instantly promote. The rest of us Forum and Senior Members can vote for promotion yes or no - see this thread for more information
[NEW FUNCTIONALITY] Promoting new members! - Announcements and Suggestions - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus . This is a NEW feature here and it started after you first signed up and your essay fell away from the first page.
I wonder if now that you have had some time to spend time here and do a bit of posting if you have come to appreciate the Welcome Area as I do? This is the area that is most active, has the most interesting posts/topics and people. Even though I'm a regular old forum member, I spend the majority of my forum time here.
I am very glad you have been reading and learning and glad that you decided to sign up for membership. Just keep posting and show that you get this place and you'll get promoted.
In the interim, maybe tell us a bit more about yourself - what other psychedelics have you tried, your career, education or research focus, hobbies, anything that you would care to share. No need to list specifics of course.
Again, welcome to the Nexus.
