Do the Elite members get anything special like the ability to ban people or anything?

Do you want to find out? :p Elite is not any big deal, it does not give you super powers or allow you to ban anyone. It's just a title under a name like any other here.

And guys, some of you need to lay off urbantechie, he is a good guy. Don't be so hard on the kid. ;)

I'd have to say that I'm one person who doesn't deserve Elite.. I asked for it (I thought everyone got it when I first noticed it, so I sortof complained, not realizing what it was really about), noticing other people with lower # of posts being elites..

there are many people I think deserve this more then me, but most of them have all become elites already. benskywalker is a good example.

maybe the mods just liked me.

however, don't think that being elite is any sign that you're better then anyone else. people ignore me quite a bit, I don't have a clue why. maybe they think my posts are too boring.

I second that Engineer, snow patrol for Elite. He is always so helpful to me, wait no, he is just a smart ass to me. But he deserves it anyway, for helping others the way he does. ;)

Thanks for the kind words, but I've been banned so I probably won't get elite until 2003 (as long as I don't get banned again!) :)

So can anyone say anything about Paulson or do you get banned for talking about a banned person also? I remember seeing a few posts by Paulson but why would anyone get banned?

I still say I want the status of either Whipping Boy, Red-Headed Stepchild, or Super beloved patriot.
If anyone who can give me status is listening, come on at least I'm being creative.

What's funny is that I thought the original poster was looking for the ancient cool game ELITE!!!! I have heard about it and that's why I read this post. :)

As far as OT ELITE goes, I am sure it makes the recipient feel good and hopefully gives others who need guidelines on how to contribute positively to the forums. Otherwise it beomes a place of total useless drivel. :)

I don't understand why people are so fascinated with &quot;elite&quot; status. All it means is that whoever runs this BBS likes what you post.
