Yeah, that is a load of bullcrap. It's a forum, not a large social media site. Who cares if so and so is popular, this is a place to help people out, discuss, and post mods/skins/texture packs. And that getting to level 10 thing and auto whitelist on the PMC server is just kind of stupid. Back in my day, we actually had to send a message to the server admins with your intentions, and they were real strict if it was a server worth playing on. With the level system, it makes low levels like me look like noobs, h8rs, and idiots. No, some of us aren't, contrary to popular belief.
