I have the perfect solution.  Arnox, do you know any JOKES about COMPUTERS??  Post them in here!

After all, it's all about the funny really.  For me anyway.

If I can't get to 50 through this argument then I'll be sure to check it out. :-D Anyway, my second point of argument is that since this IS a very small forum, I do not think that you receive very many new members. Therefore, I do not think that the 50 post minimum is necessary if there are so few new members and even then, who says they will make tech support threads and then leave? TBH, the only reason why I know this board exists was because I was looking for a tech-oriented board in the google directory.

History and experience.  We didn't just wake up one day and say, "Hey!  Let's be fuckers and put a post count requirement on one of our forums!"

What BizB said, and also:

Look at the the most popular threads, in terms of posts. They are not about technology. Technology threads here tend to be both short and short-lived? Why? Because we're all so smart, we already know everything. We are the smartest people in the entire interweb system. As news of our stupendous smartiness travels hither and yon, young turks such as you flock here to either challenge us or leech some of our smartiliciousness. They go straight to the tech forum and post questions that are so boneheaded, we can't be bothered to even read them. Would you ask Einstein what 2 plus 2 is? It's like that. Hence, the 50-post limit. It's a test. If you make it to 50 without either being bored or boring the piss out of us, then post your silly little question -- but by then, usually some of our smartifisence has rubbed off on you, and you'll be able to find the answer yourself.

And what Detta said. It's all about the funny here. If you can't share a good larf, you won't find this place very useful.

How about lowering the necessary post count then?

Hell, even the dumbest questions I've asked here haven't gotten to the second page. And for as tech-stupid as I am, even I can figure it out with bing, Google, or Yahoo.

I'm here for teh funneh.

EDIT: (And the occasional chance to fry some little spammling. Spammlings taste good deep fried... with potato salad.)

But I'm not here to ask dumb questions about computers. Trust me, I know ALL about google/bing/yahoo whatever. They have saved my butt more than once. I'm here to simply found out more about programming and/or hacking and start some good tech discussions. I don't care if the topics don't get more than a page. As long as they have good posts.

This is excruciating.

Tell you what, Arnox. Please list your top 7 favourite CPUs of all time. But here it the deal: only one CPU per post. And I want 7. So you'll have to make 7 posts.

GO!

I predict that once he reaches the 50 post minimum, Arnox is going to make 5-10 posts in the Technology forum, some of which asking our advice on certain technical things, and then we'll never see or hear from him again.  :)
