I've read that after you reach 70 posts you can no longer start a new thread in the New Members Forum. I've looked at the Veterans forum and have noticed that there are usually only 1 reply and then the thread is closed and replies take a lot longer to post. The NMF has tons of replies with tons of info and insights and different perspectives. So my questions are why are the threads closed after 1 or 2 posts and why can we no longer post in the NMF after posting 70 posts? Also, is the Veterans Forum reserved for specific questions?

I think the Veteran's Forum is for those people who have at least one year here. You can't start a new thread after 70 posts, but you can reply to threads. This is to encourage people to answer questions and so the NMF doesn't become inundated with new threads by users with more than 70 posts.
You cannot see the Veteran's Forum until you are a Veteran..
Do you mean "Ask the Veterans"?
You ask a question....the veterans will answer it...there is no discussion on those threads.

Classwife is correct. "Ask the Veterans" is set up differently from other parts of the forum, only one question is allowed per thread.
As for not being able to start a new thread in the New Members forum after you have 70 posts, it's to keep that forum for new members and to encourage older members to move on to the rest of the forum.

ECF is a very large forum with many wonderful areas ! It amazes me that people don't explore it !
It's not really fair to the new members, if we "old timers" are cluttering up the New Member's forum, with threads.
Hay, are you calling me old?? 
I was sort of kidding, I post other places. And I can't start a thread anyway. Nothing to clutter.

One forum year equals 7 real world years. The more time that we spend in here, the faster that we age. 
hahaha! You mean it's like dog years? Don't tell me that. And here I was thinking I was looking pink cheeked and healthy since I started vaping. Great!
I'll have your slippers warmed up when you arrive at the old folks home. Trust me, it becomes homey. (I cannot reveal all the stuff that awaits you in the Vet forum as that would be a violation.)
i ll be waiting for you in the veterans forum , you are gonna change your mind
They were right about you- you are a charmer!

I hope Jerry doesn't see this or he is gonna ban from the J0kers
I wouldn't ban you from the j0kers, Lis. If you left, all the ladies would leave too.
But we all may get banned for turning a New Member forum thread into a chat thread. Remember when Angus called us "the usual suspects", just before he closed the thread we were on. ???
