[Peregrine]

Quite a little bit of weird stuff going on. For one thing, I can't seem to start a thread:

Peregrine, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I wasn't actually going to post a new thread. I was just poking around with the interface because my job is boring. And I can post replies OK, apparently, but I can't post a new thread. I'm guessing the administrators turned off the new thread ability for users under a certain post count because of all the spam in here lately, and since I mostly lurk, I'm below the cut-off too. If that's the case, I'll live with it. Otherwise, its a little weird.
