Guest HelloDave Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Bit of a pointless post this one, but Paul - how about changing the post rankings from "Newbie", "Member" etc to something different. Now that we've got several users with lots of posts (Monolithix, spacemonkey, you know who you are ;) ) how about adding a few more categories? The following are blatantly borrowed from http://forum.sounddomain.com but they're just suggestions; i'm sure other people can think up better ones! - Newbie (<20) - Regular (<50) - Enthusiast (<150) - Diehard (<300) - Superstar (500+) Just a thought...like you do at 3.45AM!
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 OK, new categories are done, as follows: - Newbie ;) P
Guest cepheus1 Posted January 26, 2003 Report Posted January 26, 2003 Over at PocketThemes.com the highest ranking is....."POSTING FREAK" :!: Seems somewhat apt for certain individuals don't ya think :?: LOL ;)
Guest Vector Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 Wey hey i've just become an enthusiast :oops:
Guest Richie M Posted March 10, 2003 Report Posted March 10, 2003 I'd rather be a "SuperStar" than "Addict" :) (long way to go though)
Guest Vector Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 How about another ranking for when you reach 1000 posts :lol:
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted April 6, 2003 Report Posted April 6, 2003 Hmm. I'm an addict now, a category-title I've never liked. It implies dependence. "Diehard" I like, though. David's idea for another category for the > 1000-post users is cool. "Own pint glass" or something :lol:
Guest casper508 Posted April 7, 2003 Report Posted April 7, 2003 I don't like 'Addict' too much. How about Guru ?? ;) :lol: Cas
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Theres a new rank for 1000+ posts now :lol:
Guest capt_janeway Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Whooohoooo! I think I might be a regular now!! (This is not a comment on my toilet status I may add!!) :oops: :oops:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Nope, you're still a Newbie :lol: P
Guest capt_janeway Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Damn!! The trouble is I'm a 'taker' and not a 'giver' I love finding new things to do on my phone from here but am too damn dumb to thinks of anything myself :lol: Ah well never mind - love the site and will still be a newbie in terms of expertise for a long time ;)
Guest abamara Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Never mind capt_janeway! In the presence of these gurus, P, Mono and Tweakster to name just a few I'll also be a newbie at heart. But it does help you tho, when you see someone else( another new newbie?):lol: who you can point in the right direction bcos you've been there.
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 That's how i started off. Read the forum for a month, then started posting advice after i got my SPV just before Xmas... :lol:
Guest midnight Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 yep, we all start somewhere, just some tinker (and take risks) more than others :wink: you guys wont beleive how many times i have to hard reset, cmon, guess how many times ive hard reset since i got my phone :lol:
Guest Syvwlch Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Just start helping people in H&A, and you'll shoot up thru the ranks... You just need to pick a recurring problem you've overcome, and you can explain to the people following in your footsteps. Unfortunately RL is taking up WAY too much time for me right now... so looks like I'm stuck on Addict for a while. ;) Well, I've earned it. :lol:
Guest Richie M Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 You just need to pick a recurring problem you've overcome, and you can explain to the people following in your footsteps. Yep, something like USBTerm eh m8? And help okocha10 :lol: Did he ever get sorted out? :?
Guest Syvwlch Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Oh, my! He took me from Regular to Die-hard... :lol: I seem to remember his problem was sorted out in the end. Didn't he go on to help some others?
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Another guaranteed rating-builder: write a step-by-step guide to something or other, then repeatedly explain the same thing over and over again by referring back to the original post which the person asking the question has seemingly neglected to read :lol: (just kidding here, I'm not putting people down, just wish some would be a little more thorough when reading a post)
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Cripes! I've just gained 500-odd posts and been elevated to "Hardcore" (do a lot of stuff in the MS NG too). Hardcore. Like it. Time to change the avatar (come on TSCRYPTO, you gotta get that one :lol: )
Guest TSCRYPTO Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Maaannn... I've got loads of CRASS on vinyl stored at my folks place!! Excellent avatar, Chris. GET WELL SOON SAID THE PRINCE, TO WHICH THE SQUADDIE REPLIED... YES SIR, I WILL.
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Bloody hell, we sound like a right pair of old codgers :lol: "punk's not dead, punk's not dead, punk's not dead I know" Edit: That Crass vinyl is the stuff of heirlooms, m8. Got a bit of Conflict stuff here too. Pure anger. Great stuff. Only band that can hold a candle to 'em now is Against All Authority. Skapunk, I know, but still *quite* angry.
Guest abamara Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 you guys wont believe how many times i have to hard reset, cmon, guess how many times ive hard reset since i got my phone :lol: Talk about hard reset Tweakster, I'm headed over to H&A. I finally plucked up courage to decert, used the V2 decerter successfully after 10 or so attempts, installed Smartexplorer only to find that I've lost my GPRS. 5 days later, several phone calls to 156 and level 2 tech support, still nothing. Another hard reset, decert again and still same poblem. "Connection Error unable to place call". Installed Gnuboy, crashed the phone. Installed Smartnes, "no ROM available"! Tried Smartris, et voila, it worked but that bg img! OMG never liked aliens! So uninstalled it. There, said it all! I'm going over to H&A! :( Full of joy this morning! ;)
Guest Richie M Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Does posting in the NG add to your posting count for MoDaCo? :?
