Right now I have ~45 posts. I am a "Junior Guru Wannabe." When do I get to change my own status/tagline so I can say "Horse-Toothed Jack-a$$"?

It will take you 500 posts, or sending enough money to Chicken.

No, I don't know how much money is enough, I didn't go that route.

:D

I'm thinking 100 clams should cover it.

*puts one of those older credit card swipe machines on the counter (kind that shuck-shick)*

Will that be cash, check or charge sir?

Chicken, I would have thought an unlimited* supply of nappies, baby food and a 24/7 pamperer for Mrs. Chicken would have been a more appropriate bribe....












(as for me, don't ask - I'm uncorruptible. :D j/k - if you deposit $1000US my way I'll make you a title......)




* Unlimited supply until Baby Chicken no longer needs one, or the world's supply of Pull-Ups runs out....

Hmm... it seems like it might take me another 4 years to reach 500 posts here... yet the posts come so much quicker other places..

to be honest, does it actually matter?

ONly when you want to know: "When can I change my status/tagline?"

Lets see, 500 points to change your own status.

I have this evil idea here: Why not make it 5000 points and you can change other people's status? That will be hell lots of fun!!!

The only one I know who can achieve this over 5000 points is Chicken, anyone else?

All of the moderators are capable of changing everyone's status... as they have demonstrated.

Speaking of post counts... I have more posts than either xtstrike or teck... why aren't I a moderator by now? :angry:

:D

If I keep up my hectic rate of posting, I should reach the much heralded 500 posts in.... about 33 years. :rolleyes:

No, 41 years. You've made one post per month so far, so you'd need 491 more months.

I was going by the 0.04 posts per day.

491 / 0.04 = 12275 days = 33.6 years.

Either way, it'll take a while... unless I stop lurking :D

So umm Chicken.

How many clams will it take to change my post count from its current number to 501? ;)

coux
06-04-2002, 01:45 PM
Technically, 1 clam=5 posts so 1 post will be 0.2 clam.

michaeln
06-04-2002, 03:49 PM
Geez 62 more clams.

Sounds a lot better than 326 posts.. ;)

but it'd be fun to see what witty title people come up with... I find it amusing reading what people have for their titles :D

i remember seeing a forum....was a VB from memory
you got points for things, but it had no post counter (like 1 point for voting in a poll, 2 for replying, 3 for starting a topic....etc)
you could then trade in your points for various things. For instance, for a certain amount of points you could set your title. For double or triple (cant remember) that amount of points, you could set someone elses title.

There were a bunch of other nice (and not so nice) things you could do if you had enough points
i woulda thought the forum would be a total mess...but there wasnt actually any flaming going on regarding title changing...everyone seemed to regard it as par for the course

cant remember the URL though :(

That sounds like a pretty fun forum...
It couldn't really be in a business envirnment though, that seems like it would cause problems...
It would look like a bunch of 10 year olds running around doing web hosting... Not that acting like 10 year olds is a bad thing... all the time...

I think a forum like that would be more for fun than for business :)

Wonder where I can get something like that for a forum just for my high school friends :stickout
