I'm ALMOST a Senior Member..

[Gatsby]

So to celebrate this momentous occasion and the fact that I joined TA when I had 4 posts and an average of 0.02 posts a day I will be holding 2 contests..

if its allowed

First all information posts will be done here.

I am going to make Senior Member by annoucing the final winner. (if the system allows me)

One... I need a contest idea. Something simple like personal information about me or other strange facts that I can use for my 2nd part.

contest ideas that I found dumb. My Real Name (i've never used it to my knowledge on these boards), My major in college (its on the boards), or the name and type of my pet.

Two... Using the above contest idea. The person who can properly answer the question posed above.

The time Limit for both of these contest..

Part 1.) I will check ~ 7pm EST Monday July 24, 2000.

Part 2.) when someone gets it right or ~12 pm EST July 28, 2000 and I choose a random person.

The prize for both of these contests.

1 FULL day of cracking on my dual C400@450.

This includes the time I normally spend on diablo2 so the keyrate will not be as much as it seems.

Normally this machine does ~700 blocks a day.

Thanks for the Memories and the Competition.

One question, Paulson:

How does one become and elite member? I've seen people with like 5,000 posts who are still only Sr. Lol, you have over 5,000.

 

[TheyCallMeSAK]

BTW, I'm almost a Sr. member too. Just working my way up. This reply helped too

<< How does one become and elite member? >>



I`m not Paulson, but I have finally remembered to bookmark one of the threads where the Moderator gives the requirements for Elite Membership.
It`s here:
http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=38&amp;threadid=188527

And here is the quote from AnandTech Moderator without any further comments, or me bitching that you could have found the thread by simply using the search function:



<< Some of you may have noticed that a new status, &quot;Elite Member&quot; has begun appearing. There is also some speculation as to how this is achieved, so here is some clarification.

1. While there is no minimum post requirement, the total must be substantial, and number of posts is not the only criteria.

2. Length of time as a member, while important, is not specifically defined. But, racking up a couple thousand posts right after joining is not going to get you there.

3. The members contribution must be valuable to the other members. This does not necessarily mean one who answers many hardware questions, but also members who post entertaining, enlightening, educational, or just plain fun material.

4. The member must be supportive of the BBS, and of AnandTech. To clarify this, it will not matter if you have 10,000 posts if you feel compelled to personally attack my Moderators when they are just trying to do their job.

This is not to say that constructive criticism and suggestions aren't welcome. They are. But, many of you seem to think it's okay to throw stones at people who volunteer their time out of a love for AnandTech.
