How can I activate my private messaging account? Thanks.
You cannot activate the PMs. After a certain time, or a certain number of postings, (which only the administrators know) your PMs will be activated automatically.
The reason for this is that in the past, some people would join A2K for spamming purposes, and use the PMs to spam. By not allowing new members to post, it ensures that only people who stick with the forum (are REAL members) have that option.
This announcement explains the current PM situation:

Ok, thanks. May I ask if the admin would activate it - I won't spam, I promise.
I couldn't activate it manually even if I wanted to. You will have to wait just like everyone else. I'm sure it won't be long.
Wow, this is a good idea, but hard to understand. Why not just have a post limit?
Because that gives spammers a number to shoot for.
