Yuh need to post a hundred posts to get yerself a new rank. So yuh need to start posting. Yuh can use the Chit-chat section to begin with. Go on, meet new people. POST !
And about the 'Reps'. It actually depends on members who want to +rep yuh. If they like yer posts, they'll certainly +rep yuh. It'll decrease if yuh stop posting fer a lil while. So please stay alive.
If yuh need to know anything further, yuh can always pm me or any of the moderators.
They'll surely guide yuh.
P.S. Try posting yer thread in the right place. =]
