99.9% certain
@Nentusia yeah clraik is. Also, the requirements are slightly different this year to those that James posted, but they will not be final. There will be a 'decaying' requirement as the first few days of signups pass. At this stage, any member with Advanced membership OR HIGHER, has 50 posts and has been registered for at least 2 weeks will get early access to the ACIX subforum and be able to get confirmation of the team on the very first day of sign ups. After that, the post requirement will drop a bit and even 'Member' ranked people will be able to see the subforum. So in essence you don't HAVE to have a paid membership to find out what team we're supporting in time.
Not to keep hitting the same topics, but do we know if membership length is one of the decaying requirements? I haven't been with the group very long, but I like to think I would be a fun addition
