I just looked at the number of posts I have ~ 4110 and realize that my NEF ("diamond member") status won't change for sometime. So I've got the blues. Anyone experience this?? The goal is "Lifer" status but so far, it seems unreachable right now.

I know the feeling. Just be diligent. Keep wasting your time here in OT, and you'll be a Lifer before you know it. Sell some stuff in FS/FT. The periodic bumps really help your post count.

I think "life" is the last but there are other "special" status changes that must be earned through other various means.

"elite member"
"Moderator"
"ATOT Court Jestor"
"Offical ATOT Drama Queen"
etc...

:p

At your current pace of 2.93 posts per day, you will reach lifer status in 2,010 days or 5.5 years.

Congratulations. Once you reach "Golden Member" status, you get a golden shower from the mods. ;)

I think with a handful of AT'ers with over 25k posts a new title should be created.

Suggestions?

LOL. Should I ever come close to reaching that status remind me to stop one post short of becoming a Golden Member :)

LOL @ your first suggestion, I think that would be great but somehow the voice of reason (AKA AT Mods) wouldn't agree with me.

Damn.

I disagree. I think that Lifer status should be keep for an unlimited number of posts like some kind of badge of dishonor. If after 25k+ posts a member hasn't earned some type of special title or distinction for forum contribution, then Lifer is what they deserve.

But then again, I should be careful what I post, lest karma strike me down and humble me. At my current rate I will reach Lifer status by the spring of 05 ;)

Let us all be thankful that at least they don't have a member status called "Pearl Member". ;)

I was about to say :D

Just wait, a few months from now you will hold the distinct (I have no life - I am helplessly addicted to ATOT) crown of honor :)
