The Pub Discussion Board

So Ive been gone for about three months, and Ive been writing a bit getting ready to try and become a contributer, I've read the information page again and Im wondering, how long does it take to actually get enough opinions? I mean do you have to wait a certain amount of time, or is it if you get enough you just become a contributer? wow Okay I don't know if I'm wording this correctly so Let me try and give an example, I write a story..people come and give there opinions and stuff, I'm still active in the community, becoming more so as I get back online is it a certain number of good opinions or something? or..do you not look at the opinions for a certain amount of time? I didn't understand that in it, anyway, hoping I can get a response
