Actually the post count has nothin to do with it.
Here's the info:

*************************************************

11) Become a Guitar Tricks Host

Guitar Tricks Host sections provide a forum for the best contributors to
really show their technique in detail. At Guitar Tricks, Host
status is the way we highlight the best guitar players on the web.
But Hosts are more than just featured players. Hosts also make
the functional decisions about how Guitar Tricks works.
These decisions are the force that puts the highest quality material and
best new features here at Guitar Tricks every day.

Why Be a Host?

*Hosts have a chance to publicize their band, show off their playing, or
advertise their web site.
*Each Host gets an equal vote on how Guitar Tricks is run and who and
what we
focus on.
*Hosts get their own section of Guitar Tricks to showcase and explore
different tricks and techniques.
*Hosts get to interact with other guitar players throughout the world and
learn as much as they teach.
*Hosts get their own @guitartricks.com email address to receive
comments from
other guitar players.
*Hosts don't have to do any web site design or HTML coding. They just
concentrate on their tricks.

Who Can Be a Host?

We are interested in broadening the styles we cover. Currently we are
looking for classical, jazz, country, and other non-rock styles. If you play
one of these styles, we encourage you to apply.

We are once again accepting applications from guitarists in the rock (any
rock from blues rock to metal) category.
However, we are very selective about adding more material to those
styles. We want to keep the variety in our site.
So, please don't apply if you have only been playing a little while or you
aren't willing to really be a teacher and thoroughly explain your material.

1. Anyone can be a Host at Guitar Tricks.
2.You don't have to be a famous virtuoso guitarist, just someone with a
different style, trick or technique.
3.Hosts are selected by a majority vote of the existing Hosts.
4.If you want to be a host, you have to apply. We don't draft anyone.
5.Here are some of the criteria that Hosts generally use when decided
whether
or not to accept a new application

Would this Host bring something new to the site?
Is the recording quality good?
Does the tab match the recording?
Did I learn something?
Sure he can play, but can he explain it?

What Would I Have to Do?

If you want to be a Host, contribute a minimum of two tricks with
sound as samples.

Then fill out the application form.

After you have filled out the form, allow three days for the voting to take
place. The webmaster will contact you with the results of your vote.
If you are elected, you must contribute a total of eight tricks before your
section can be opened.
After your section is opened, you can participate as much or as little as
you
want. It is entirely up to you.
