I believe in an effort to continue to have this challenge sponsored, the thread is hidden to those members with less than 20 (or maybe its 25) posts.
This is to prevent people from just taking the kits without making an effort to participate in the community.
For example, the challenge I sponsored in January had only 14 pages posted as participating in the challenge (other than my own CT members). However I had 584 downloads of the kit. Those numbers just don't match up.
I suggest visiting some threads, posting in other parts of the forum, in the gallery and truly becoming a member. Before you know it you will have new friends as well as access to the kit challenge area
This is a wonderful community and I know we would all love to get to know the 'lurkers'!!
