I might be stupid but...

So this might not be the right place for this, but I am wondering what I need to do in order to send PM's? I came to this website to learn something with a purpose, and sending PM's to a few people would be very helpful with that. I know I need 15 messages, but for some reason even though I have mad ~10 posts it still shows up as 3 Messages. I might just be stupid and misunderstood the explanation, but any advice is appreciated.

Gotcha! It's the fact that Lounge replies are not counted that I was confused on. I guess I'll take a couple days and make some good contributions, as I doubt that spamming 11 more messages in the more important channels would be good.

You need 15 posts on the forum, as mentioned in our newbie guide thread here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/how-to-start-a-conversation.1042214/
