Ive seen some people (GirlFriday for example) that have the member status as "Elite". How do you get this status? According to that cheezy help file, there only:
Title Posts Required

Junior Member 0
Member 20
Senior Member 200
Golden Member 1000
Platinum Member 2000
Diamond Member 3000

You have to be specially chosen by the mods to be elite. Try posting something useful, being nice, and being an overall outstanding member. I hear it helps. Apparently the mods don't think I'm useful, friendly, or a good member :p

Criticizing the forums is certainly one way to get the status.

You'll find a number of discussion about titles other than what seems available to regular members. Other got the unique titles because of their &quot;contributions&quot; to the board - support, writing sensible topics, etc.

I guess personality also counts...

Arguing with the mods...being a real PAIN... all your efforts might get ignored!

Russ was being sarcastic, quite obviously.

I think there should also be a specially chosen status for the opposite of Elite Members. For example, people like Specialist should have a status like &quot;Moronic Lunatic&quot;, or something along those lines.

Or, maybe not.

If you remember back when the whole Elite thing started, there was the special title &quot;Brainless Idiot&quot; bestowed on a select member who happened to disrespect The Boss...

BTW: Thanks for Eliteness Mods :).

I guess I received Elite status today. At least I just noticed it.

Thanks, to whoever elevated me. :)

Congrats PM! I certainly seconded your nomination.

You of course realize that now you MUST share all those dirty Intel secrets we've been begging you for for months :).

Thanks, Killer Ape! I have to admit it made my day. I came home and told my wife and she was not really impressed, but I certainly appreciate it.

As far as Intel's secrets, I've been carefully encoding everything that I know secretly in every message that I post (all 732 of them). If you look very carefully and pick one or two keys words out of every posting that I've ever made here, you'll be able to discover anything you ever wanted to know about any Intel product or roadmap.

Thanks Apoppin.

Patrick: (After re-reading 732 posts...) Ah! Now I see. So THATS how you unlock the multipliers and re-enable that other 128KB of L2 on the Celerons...;)
