Speaking as a newbie.....I found this place through a Google search looking for a manual (it comes in pretty much at the top). When I saw the 25 post rule I just got the manual elsewhere, I joined but I'm certainly not going to post 25 posts of crap for the manual (been a forum admin a few times before....lol). For me it was just a minor inconvenience that caused me to hit the back button on the browser and click another link......but it did get me in here and so far I like what I see....
(Mentally counts 8......and thinks that wasn't crap.....was it????)

A lot of people do come here for the manuals only, but after taking time to look around as they clock up the required 25 posts they end up being members even after getting the manuals.
How many new members will we retain if they have immediate access to the manuals without looking around???????
