+Brainless 1 Posted January 20, 2008 I've just noticed I'm now a Senior Member of this formidable club. I was wondering how this might have come about and slowly realised ...yes my brain was in ..could it be in back to front.. well I'll probably never know...that this is to do with the number of post that a member adds. I noticed a while ago that Wrench is the 'ancient one' and so I thought membership advancement was to do with age but now I realise this is totally wrong 'cos on that basis there would have to be another membership rank based on age for members like me. Something like 'Old Grumpy' member or in my case the 'Dead One' Anyone have any ideas on other suitable membership gradings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrench 9,857 Posted January 21, 2008 I was born old, so there ya go! Actually, one of the guys (probably USAFMTL) changed the header. I haven't found a way to change, and kinda like it anyway. I think the 'promotions' come from number of posts. Wrench kevin stein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparkomatic 7 Posted January 21, 2008 I think it would be neat if it marked someone based on the theme of posts; ie, "rivet counter" or "never touched a real airplane but whines about how an F-100 feels" or "just likes to banter with no real point" (wait, that last one is mine).

I'd suggest the "Obviously drunk while typing" category. Seems rampant at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambler 1-1 9 Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) spam, spam, spam, spam, spamidy spam, SPAMIDY SPAM! let's see, I'd be... uhh... well I still kinda fell like the newbie, despite the fact that I'm "valued". I'm probably the "eternal n00b" EDIT: I just realised that I have broken 200 posts. YEAH! Edited January 21, 2008 by Rambler 1-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah, boards give the options to change these things based on post counts. I'm one of only two people at SimHQ to break 20,000 posts, so they made a separate category for us. My posting here is far more restrained, plus I've got over 3 more years over there.
