Is the Jim Marrs forum restricted?

Out of all the forums I've looked at, the Jim Marrs forum is the only one where I don't see any "Reply" button on any thread, and no way to start a new thread.

Is there some prerequisite to posting in that particular forum?

To post in the 'Conspiracy Pro's Forums, you need to have at least 250 posts under your belt

We've agonized over several ways to prevent a deluge of questions and threads, from accepting applications to random drawings... and none seem fair. As a result, we've settled on a revised requirement of 250 posts for ATS members to be able to participate in the "View From Marrs" forum.
