Alright so I guess I'm working torwards my 100 post and looking for some advise as well. I finally got the money together for a 3090 king pin (the sexy beast). But I was a little disappointed to see that an elite membership is required to order it. I guess it makes sense though considering all of the current scalping going on. So I it looks like I have to become an elite. I have no prior purchases of new evga products. I've only had 3 evga PSUs. And because of the fact I want to drop over 2k on a graphics card I dont really have much more to make any purchases to speed up my elite membership qualifications.
Does anyone know what the limits are in the forums? Do replys count as post? How often can I post and how long would it take to reach the 100 post mark without spamming? I'm dead set on getting this card so any advise would be great (other than paying 3k on ebay).
I'm the type of guy who goes big and wants it to last. I've been rocking with stock vega 64 the past few years and the new black ops proved to me that it's about time for an upgrade. Just trying to figure out the fastest way to get this card at stock price before I blow my money on something else. Thanks

Fastest way is to buy a qualifying GPU that'll instantly give you Elite status (after filling out a brief form).  For the 100 posts, that will take a little bit of time legitimately.  There's a fine line between spamming to 100 and being helpful in the forums to get to a 100.  If you spam, I believe you'll get a warning and all the spam messages removed.  After that, you could get banned.  You're best bet is to just be active on the forums in a helpful or communicative way and you'll get there in no time. 

Ok cool. I really dont want have to spend more than I need for the 3090 king pin. Also are replys considered a post? And by spam I do not mean a bunch of worthless posts. I was planning on making very frequent post and replys related to the forums. This wouldn't be considered spam would it? Just trying to play it safe and earn my right to buy one of these amazing gpus

Replys go towards your 100 posts yes

Awesome. Thank you both for the quick answers

By honor do you mean elite status? The benifit from that right now is the ability to order the 3090 king pin. Maybe some other products but I'm not sure as I've only been looking at that one card.

Although I was well over the 100 posts when I became aware of the Elite thing, I did what I believe is the correct way to become a member; register with the evga products I purchased new at retail.
 
Anyone can spam the forums 100 with posts...

There's no "correct" way to get ELITE. Either you post, or you purchase. Both are equally viable.

Out of curiosity, how does EVGA define SPAM?

aghhh makes sense

I feel you guys, I'm just trying to get my 100 posts as well, I want the folks at EVGA to know that I am a gamer and not a spammer or scalper.

I kinda like that they have rules like these to become elite. Narrows it down to who is already in the circle to give them a leg up on ordering new products. Wish other stores did the same.

the problem with that is some people just randomly flag your post even when you have a serious question. People just do things like this to piss people off. Explain how a question can be a spam comment? Or a post. That's just my take. 

Yes. You could get that amount in this thread alone. Only takes an hour to get to 100.

It makes sense because of the situation. I feel like a child waiting to ger his candy. Just for completing build my pc.
