Member status

[ZetaNine]

HUUUUUUUUUUUGE mistake to reward "status" to # of posts.  The board I worked on for years did away with that, specifically because of the annoying kids looking or "board cred".

would also love the term "grounded" for someone servine a suspension....or "shot down" for someone who was banned.

As impressive as it seems to sound anyone dedicated to creating a half dozen political beech and moan threads a day in the o club could probably reach that level pretty quick. Too bad plutonium actually shrivels the member and makes your balls drop off as your gums and rectum bleed. It only causes hair loss if you had some to begin with.

I am sure that is what you platinum membered guys tell yourselves but.. it is of course not true.. they do glow a bit tho.

as for posting.. I noted that I am not even a contender for top ten thread starters or time online.

Only cause they don't break it down to just the o-club. 

[lazs2]

oops.. forgot what a big wheel you were in the kiddie pools.

Noticed you took my post personally and to heart, though. 

[ZetaNine]

if they're gonna keep it........shouldn't the various levels be more "flight related"? 

I'm sure they can customize them... from "ramp rat" all the way up to "top gun Instructor"

For flying a desk? Mneh. How about:

1-100 posts = "found the board"
101-1000 posts = "lost on the forums"
1001-2500 posts = "impressing others, no really"
2501-5000 posts = "repeating myself way too often"
5001-10,000 posts = "need a life"
10,000 plus = "found I'm bored"

[lazs2]

ah comeon arlo.. don't be that way...  I am sure that they will be begging for you to come back to the general board any time now..  soon as they realize that your sharp, albiet repetitive, wit was so important to them.

meanwhile..  get on that platinum polish like I know you will.

*ShruG* Hmmmmm .... a bit of projection, `ol boy? I'm not posting for attention or status ... nor am I as impressed with myself in hope it catches on with the rest of the kids. I participate ... no scooby snack required ... no need to masterbate in public.

[lazs2]

talk about your "projection" !

relax man.   the writers strike is over.. your hero jon stewart is no longer mute.  watch a few hours of his cerebral humor.. get out the old notepad and come back and dazzle us.

 Aw, Laz. I didn't mean to "make fun of your status" and hurt your feelins in that general post. You know we all love and appreciate you. Want a hug? Don't you smile. Better not smile! What's that I see?

[lazs2]

well gee.. thanks arlo.. coming from you (or jon stewarts writers) that means a lot.

meanwhile.. all I meant was that you should polish up the old platinum.. it won't glow in the dark of course like a real plutonium member but it will have a nice sheen and...  I am sure you will get a lot of pleasure out of it.

Your fixation over wanting me to polish my board status while you watch is a bit unsettling.

I'm wack..just read my sig.
