subscribing member info?

[bigarmzz]

hopefully a mod can help me out here-

i've been on this board for something like 6 years now...i've bought, and sold countless items including complete vehicles, and was a truck of the month winner awhile back

why is it i can sell things on here, but when i make a post that i'm looking for a swb truck, i have to be "a subscribing member?"

its like, i can buy, and sell, but cant "wtb"?

might be my mistake, but i though awhlle back, that if you were a totm winner, you were automatically a "subscribing member"? i've always been able to buy/sell without any problems at all on here, so i assumed this was the case
