I've been on IIN for a while now, at least it seems so. In reality, probably just under or over a month. I'm not completely sure.
However, I do know that there are people who have been here for a mere week or less, who already have access to the member chat! But every time I click on "Member Chat," a message pops up and says something along the lines of, "You currently have no access to member chat. Become a positive influence on the IIN community, and check back in a few days. Blah, blah, blah.." I'm sure you've all seen it.
Well, I log on every other day or so, and every time, I vote and make meaningful comments on several stories. Not to mention, I've already asked several IIN questions myself, questions I haven't seen, and I'm always using proper grammar, spelling, etcetera.
But still, whenever I check if I have been granted access to member chat, I get the same message as before.
I wouldn't be complaining if I could afford IIN Gold, but I can't. And I keep seeing stories and polls about how awesome member chat is, and it makes me more and more anxious to participate.
So, how long were you on IIN before you gained access to member chat? Am I doing something wrong?
Oh, and comments would be appreciated, too. Thank you, my anonymous peers.

That's how long it took me.
Of course, I got a bit of replies and thumbs up.
Not sure if that had anything to do with it..
In answer to your question, I think I was here before the Member Chat time-lapse thing was introduced, and it took me a long time before I bothered trying it anyway, so I'm not sure how long it takes. I also have IIN Gold, so yeah :P
It might be that there is a minimum number of comments/stories that you need to contribute before you are allowed in the Chat as well as a certain amount of time, I'm not sure.
Maybe the Management can comment and help you out :)
I don't really know, I was here for a 2-3 months before I gained any interest in the chat.
But I think I can access it (I didn't get the message like you got), I just became an IIN member not long ago, maybe two or three weeks or less, forgot.
I've been here 3 months.

"Sorry, the member chat is limited to members that have been around for a little while and have participated positively to the community.
You haven't participated in IIN enough to gain chat privileges yet.
Stick around the site for a bit longer, write interesting posts and constructive comments and try again in a few days.
Or, you can get IIN Gold and you will get immediate access."
"agreeing with obvious surface level views everytime, being nice, non realistic, always taking the politicaly correct stance, being a thoughtless puppet"
No way, fuck that and fuck chat!
Nostrilllllllllllllssssssssssss 4 evaaaaaa!!!!!!!!
