Just for clarification, if I understand correctly Lounge access is granted automatically to members once they have a certain number of posts. It can be granted earlier by contacting one of the admins. Is this correct?

Yes that's correct

[Shortness]

Yes, I should say thanks noehlp for posting this list. I've used it a couple of times already and will continue I'm sure.

[Brad]

Excellent list. We'll probably borrow it (and add some more terms to it) for all the new Black Friday visitors in a couple months.

[noehlp]

Eeek! I can't take credit for the list! All I did was copy and pasted it on this thread from the link that BayHaySay provided. I c & ped it because the person was not able to see the GottaLounge at that time. The real credit belongs to the person who compiled the list originally and that is FireBabe: http://forums.gottad...ber.php?u=14701

Thanks to FireBabe for originally compiling the list--and thanks again to noehlp for reposting it for those of us who didn't see it the 1st time.

Don't forget to add WMC to the list.
