10 seems easy...

Yeah, not too hard to count to 10 even in KY.

Higher post counts for FNGs? Some FNGs maybe starting out in hunting and don't have much experience to add. Who determines which posts are engaging? This is subjective what may be boring to one member may be interesting to another. Increasing costs is not the way to go. Like I said some of these FNGs maybe young and starting to hunt. They don't have experience and or funds why discourage them by penalizing them? Just my two cents. I still remember starting out 30 years ago poor and not coming from a hunting family or community. I wish I could have found a dial in hunting bulletin board for information.

Well just playing devils advocate here, but if they truly are NEW to the game like you say, one would think they would have plenty of questions to ask if they are just getting started? an engaging post could be just that, someone asking "What caliber for mule deer?" "What ammo for elk?" etc. "What is a quality firearm to buy?" "How do i scout for elk?" "What are these rubs on a tree and what do they mean?"

I could see someone brand new to hunting actually being MORE engaging on the forum than someone with 30 years experience in a way if you look at it like this.

They might be more engaging if they weren't so intimidated by some of the replies. Have you seen some of the replies from the "experienced" members with higher counts? Such as do a search for that topic , it's been beat to death and here is another favorite when asked about recommendations on gear " I recommend brand XYZ because I have been using it for years". No explanation as to why they recommend it. And they don't have have to be new to the game they could be new to the species or a style of hunting. Such as an old white tail hunter making his way west for his first mule deer hunt.

I for one would hate to see the forum go down the path of " pay to play" like hunting seems to be going.
