Hmm...so I saw paulson is a "Diamond Member" and that alarmed me...so I went to "Help" to see what the new levels of membership were; I hadn't noticed.

This is what it says:

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


So then I go to check my last post...ack, I'm a diamond member too! :eek:

This got me thinking about what each of these levels of membership mean...

Junior Member- NEWBIE!
Member- Modest poster or just graduated from newbiehood.
Senior Member- Modest and long term poster...or fairly new guy with a hankering for posting.
Golden Member- Posted a good amount in his or her day...
Platinum Member- Shnikes...you post a lot!
Diamond Member- Why in the hell aren't you Elite?! :(

Yes, that was lame, but the truth generally is...heh.

Anyway, I haven't been posting here toooo much lately (last week or so) and probably won't make elite any time soon...but damn, do I feel silly having over 3,2xx posts and not being elite. :p hehehe

Oh well, thats the way it goes...maybe we should have a "Neffing Member" status at 5000+ posts (and not being elite)? ;)

I've always wondered why the levels mean so much to people. At my rate I won't get out of Senior Member status for a long while. The way I see it, by the time I reach Golden status, version 3 of the forums will be out and they will have divided the status levels once again just so that people can get the feeling that they're still moving on up!

I actully DID post a good amount of posts in my day but recently I have posted maybe a 100 times in the last month.

I feel so awkward replying to threads now.

Oh man if you weren't already diamond I'd accuse you of posting to increase your status.

Lets see, how can I make this post valid...


I like oxygen? Does anyone else think oxygen is good?

Are you sure yakko? You're telling me there's nothing intelligent in what you're saying, and you're trying to hide your intellect by claiming you posted to raise your count?

I propose that those people who have gotten to Diamond Member status be allowed Elite membership on the condition that they have never once double-posted. Their sheer caution should warrant them this special status. :)

So just when does someone turn into the almighty &quot;elite&quot; member??

Does it still exist? Who is?
