I have to be a member for 7 days before I can pm. I hate to complian as I know complaining is not a good strategy but can anyone suggest how I acquire these more quickly? Pls pm me.
In general, simply sending a PM is the default way of asking for fan projects on here (unless indicated / instructed otherwise in the project thread)…
Please note that cluttering up the project threads with ‘link request’ posts is not only poor form - but is also against the rules & guidelines here - the reasons for which can be found below…
ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS: “Link begging” posts will be deleted without notice - in Announcements
^ Not being able to send a PM because your account is new… is NOT a reason to make ‘link request’ posts on here.

Hopefully the project threads will soon get back to being discussions about the actual projects themselves - queries, feedback, reviews, exchange of ideas, suggestions for future versions etc - and not be full of endless & unnecessary ‘link request’ posts.
We’ve had a number of fan editors, preservationists, tech wizzes and regular members… leave the community in recent times… as many grow frustrated that the forum has seemingly become more of ‘a link request site’. With conversations on the actual projects being disrupted and curtailed by the needless / lazy / aggressive ‘link request’ posts and unsolicited PMs (“I’m not reading your rules or links - just give me the f****** link” - basically ‘I’m not gonna look up how to get this - someone do it for me’).
Fellow members are more likely to help you out if you are a participating member of the community here; you don’t have to be a fellow fan editor, preservationist, tech wiz, artistic or skilled etc… just a member that has made, or is making, an effort.
NOTE: Many editors & preservationists choose not to make their projects available to ‘hit & runners’ or people with a post history of mainly asking for various projects - which is completely up to them. That some people join up here looking to simply take - instead of give something back; not even leaving a simple ‘thank you’, feedback or review, or join in with the community here - and instead move on to asking for more projects… is not encouraged. Such requests may likely be ignored or deleted.
Good luck with it. 👍
