You can loan him all you want.....problem is they won't count since they were not before May 1, 2008.....
Kidding aside... I am not trying to eliminate anyone...I just want to make sure that the tournament is for "active" contributers and I had to draw a line somewhere and call it rule..
I don't think it would be fair for me to start making exceptions...(on the very first day of sign ups) Heck even you have enough post to qualify and you hardly ever post.....
especially when someone with 800 posts could end up being #65.
If what it does do is get more active posters on the board then I have actually done my goal... which is to get more players activly participating in various threads.... (already a grand master is now going to have thoughts of sharing knowledge and or at least banter with the board)
Heck....if I had my way it would be 50 posts that actually shared knowledge of the game for the betterment of the board...or at least what someone thought was knowledge of the game.......But I figure that might limit the field too much..
