issues with academy website

Hi,
I don't know if I am just being silly and not seeing what I am supposed to or what but here goes:

I joined the academy website, verified my email address, and got access to the information and rules section of the website. According to one of the posts when I verified my email address I should also have gotten access to the introductions section where I was supposed to post an introduction, and would then be given a questionaire to fill out...or I was supposed to fill out a questionaire and then I would get access. I am not sure. Either way I do not have access to the Introductions section(says no messages in this forum) and I cannot find a questionaire anywhere. I cannot post or send PM's. No one in the chat could help me and I have read everything. Either I am missing something or there is something going on with the site.

Do I have to wait for someone to give me access? Is there something I should be doing? Please help, this website sounds awesome and I would really like to be a part of it.

Thanks.
