why can't we get titles for playing in US chess online tourneys. I am sure US chess has cheating programs, plus fide is already doing it. I'd love to have a goal of a title since there is just no time for OTB play.

I'm assuming you mean USCF titles. You'll have to ask over in the USChess - Members Only club, or else the USCF directly. You can play USCF rated games over in the Members Only club (https://www.chess.com/club/uschess-members-only).

Hello, what do I need to do to get a online rating?
Well... you can play online at Chess.com and get a rating. Or, as noted ^^ you can play online for USCF rating in the Members Only club. Is that what you meant?

For integrity, don't allow online titles! I was a tournament director for a few years. Why not become a TD and organize tournaments in your area?

Why hasn't USChess and Chess.com coordinate rated correspondence chess events yet? They have been hosted on ICCF for a long time and I feel it shouldn't be that hard to duplicate on Chess.com since they already host online events.

You can only get titles for regular rated play and there is no regular rated online pools. My guess is that will never happen.

Last I heard, if the official event coordinator allows it, for correspondence events, and your opponent agrees, you can play here.
That said, my understanding is that correspondence event ran by chess.com isn't something that is going to happen.
There was one member in the Members Only club contacted US Chess staff and the results weren't promising.

could I post one of my games for someone to analyze for me?

Sure. Why not? Can't vouch for the quality of any analysis, or even if anyone will analyze it. 
Could we have a pinned location for people to analyze?
