none of my buisness... im a full member now, was just posting in new members to see if i could offer my advise... but seriously... each and every f**king topic in new members is shite... not being rude... but ffs... half the topics... what bike should i get? should i get this colour for my bike? whats the best part? and thats pretty much it... and the odd where are you from? what bike do you ride? not saying its you, but complaining about the validation system is not the way to get validated, and to be honest neither are any of the things i put above *-) i was a new member once aswell, it taken me a while to get the whole validation idea, but its simple, if you post something actually useful with thought and originality then your a valuble asset to the forum and will be validated
