Hey all. I'm back to help out people with simple problems and argue about cars.

What's new?

well lets see,

Yoresh came and decided that he was going to try to force the people of the western sector into his new religion he called Haitati which was just a form of paganism but with a twist of lemon on the side.

well the former supreme ruller (fyed), who had been cast out into the world by the communists forcing him to work day and night, was finally able to escape and come back to help the people and fight for freedom and democracy.

a big fight ensued and i have to get back to work before the boss gets mad

I find it funny that it says my title is Professional. Heh. I am neither paid nor good... I just know enough to get by, and then some.

users have a default list of "titles" (ranks) ... they are somewhat misleading at times .. but we, the moderators, haven't come to a consensous at to what to change them to, since people do get mislead at various times.. The rank is based purely on post count. Nothing more.

I have no real problem with it, and I don't go by posts, because sometimes even the moderators are a bit unuseful...

Well, I'm a PHP professional and mine says professional, so it's all good.


What are the 'dividers' (ie 0-50, 50-250, 250-500) for the post count titles, and what are the titles now? We could suggest new names for each group :)

Code: Select all

0 - 24           Forum Newbie
25 - 49         Scripter
50 - 99         Developer
100 - 249      Programmer
250 - 499      Professional
500 - 999      Master
1000 - 2499  Guru

2500+: Needs to get back to work

Or, you can end up in the Tutorials group, and have post count mean nothing.

I don't care yet, but when I get to 1,000, then I'll start complaining. :P

(In the last month, I have avg'd 7 posts a day, so I should hit 1,000 in another month)
