@tongzilla,
@FCS,
@rkikuchi19,
@Jash, and everyone,
The reason some of you have been unable to PM me is because we had a spammer discover that, even though spam _posts_ weren't getting through, he/she could send spam _PM_'s on our forum until their account was banned. We disabled the ability to send spam PM's by not allowing PM's to be sent until a person had posted several times, which solved the spam PM problem but created another problem which each of you have experienced.
Until such time as we have a better solution in place (and I don't know if we're going to find a better solution because the "P" in PM stands for Private and therefore we moderators cannot, by definition, know they're being sent), the solution is to use the Contact form available on both the forum and the web site to reach me.
I will ask that the wording, "As a student of STRONG ENDURANCE™—you have the opportunity to join the STRONG ENDURANCE™ group in the StrongFirst Forum. Please send a Forum PM to administrator Steve Freides to request access," be changed to reflect the current realities.
