An I agree we should at least have some access to the private photo sections just to see them and what makes the great



What private photo sections are you talking about, the LDB? Frankly, the photos that show up on the Photography forum are much better than most of the photos you'll see in the LDB.

I also tend to recommend chat more during the day. At that point it tends to be a more mature group that is very easy to talk to. Most of us are just bored at work and sign in

Wow.
I am soo Screwed for FM.
I mean i would love to have access to all that stuff in the DB and have a chance to contribute, but as of now my group does not have a photographer that is willing to do anything but Artistic shots. And my only other friend i have that can take pictures and is interested may not be free very often.
So my issue is that because this forum seems to be based off photos, i will prolly never make it anywhere here. i am here to learn, explore and have fun. not force myself to learn photography, and take breath taking shots. so i think this whole prove yurself with pictures stuff is kinda silly. i mean even to have access to the other boards/LDB would be nice. I just think it is unfair for the people who may not be as big into taking photos, and more into exploring.

You are right But I would still like to see the stuff. I might get inspired, I still have taken anything that I deem worthy of posting

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand

Believe me, the whole photography is overrated and is definitely not the only way to get FM. The best way is still to meet other full members and get their recommendations, but even just contributing to the forums and generally not being an asshat will be fine. It just takes longer.

Sure, I would like to meet other full members, but the nearest one is about 1500 km from me... The truth is that, I live in the middle of nowhere and I don't have cash to go elsewhere to meet people with full membership.
So, I won't get full membership in next few years...

As pointed out before there is more than one way to get your FM.
Good people are always welcomed here.
They're many good folks here too that you can make friends with online, not the same as meeting them, but it gives us a better idea who you are.
If the group doesn't like your attitude or practices, it's doubtful you'll get, or keep your FM.

Posting pics is a good way to share your UE with others here, and help get your FM. We like stories with pics, a lot!
They don't got to fancy, interesting helps.

I've been hanging out in the chat today and I have to ask... does anyone EVER talk UE in there or is it all just pre-pubescent ninjalets airing their sexual frustrations??

I was there once and I believe that the chat was made to prevent people from talking about UE on it... So now all UE-related topics are on forums and garbage lands in the chat-room.

No offense...

Like I said earlier, I tend to go to chat more during the day when it's more adults and tends to be a bit more intelligent.

I have spent some time in chat and while it is annoying sometimes I've also had some good conversations with some good people also had a few good laughs.

here is the secret to FM:
dont be a dick!


and its true , Blackhawk does not exist

But his twin brother Blackcock does

Trouble with chat is it leaves no record, good or bad.
Many FMs never go into chat.
Pics and posts are what really helps other than meet ups.

Ohnoes, not actually talking to other people! We couldn't have that now, could we?

Kidding, but it's true that I hardly ever see anyone talking about UE in the chat. There have been a couple times when I've met people I actually know in there and we talk about stuff in our area, but other than that, not really. I can see why you might expect that, but it's not like it's the end of the world that people just talk about whatever in there... I still like to pop in once in a while, but I can see how you'd think it was a waste of time or whatever.

It seems like everyone has some great things to say, but many people are only pointing out one good idea. I thought I would just organize a few things and chip in a thought or two of my own

WAYS TO GET FULL MEMBERSHIP:
(you don't need to do all of these, even one if you do it a lot is just fine)

-post photos of where you have been
-write stories about where you have been
-go on chat and discuss where you have been
-explore with other members of the site
-go to a meet

WAYS TO BE DENIED:

-argue more than you post positive things
-whine about being denied the first time
-contribute absolutely nothing
-insult members


Epilogue:
My story:
I got FM after a month on the site. I tried chat a few times, but felt odd because things related to UE are not discussed in chat most of the time. I stopped using chat and realized that it is actually much more fun to PM members on the site (great way to meet explorers). in fact I'm going to go on a tangent: I applied for FM and really wanted it, but as I was waiting I actually stopped caring because I was meeting so many explorers and seeing so many new places I almost forgot that I didn't have FM. Really, despite all of this site's problems (flame wars, huge stupid threads related to nothing, favoritism, elitism) it does it's job wonderfully: Allows explorers to meet other explores and SHARE. Back to what I was saying: Not using chat anymore, I met up with some members of the site (not full members just other basic members) and took lots of pictures. I posted the pictures that I took, along with stories about the places I visited.
