    5 Posts?

    Why is it that you need to post 5 times before you can add a url?
    A lady had a web design question and I couldn't even suggest my webmaster.
    What's special about the 6th?

    I have a feeling it has to do with trying to deter spammers, though I could be wrong.

    5th post!

    American Striping...

    Jonathan said it perfectly! It is to deter spammers and it has worked quite well.
    We do not allow people to post spam links on the YE forum.

    Cheers,

    Wow, your right. Hadn't really noticed it. Sweet.

    Interesting...

    Well, I guess the admins from above figured that most people joining the forum for honest reasons would start off asking questions. Those that post links within the first 5 posts are generally spammers or illegitimate children.
