Help the site get better RANKING NAMES for Members

I think you could increase the number of posts for Elite  and Mileage Junkie from 300 posts for mileage junkie and elite to maybe 500 posts.  My two cents.

OMG am I getting demoted? lol

LOLOLOL... You can't get demoted RoyBoy, You are officially a VIP Member as of yesterday !

LOL Oh Wow  Thanks sweetie and all that belong to this fun house

Saint, A definite increase in the number of posts to increase rank will be in order for sure.

Here is a suggestion that was PMed to me....


The Quiet Type      0 - 50 posts
Happy Camper        51 - 100
Active Poster         101 - 250
Elite Poster            251 - 500
Valued Contributor  501 - 1000
Board Veteran        1000+


I am still looking for more ideas

:faeg: :faeg:

Ponee thank you for the new promotion to VIP member. I didn't pay attention to the change till I saw royboy's comment

Will give it some thought ... not a bad idea though, we did have a person take affront and leave because their ranking changed to mileage junky a while back. On the other hand, I do suspect it was just an excuse.

Thanks Ponee for the New Ranking -  I hope it does spruce the place up and help with member morale etc .  Little things like that can go a long ways in cheering people up  showing them they are valued , appreciated etc -- Of course some people could not care so much - 



The thought and intent from your suggestions shows me that you do care and want to improve in areas that you can  - doing what is for the good of all   -- I think I see where you are coming from and wanting to go !!you have my vote !! 

Oh no! I should probably have my rank stripped and ripped from my shoulders while standing at attention in front of all the dinardaily crew,right back down to buck private 

Hey wow! just noticed vip member..thanx guys, not so bad

Thanks, so much for your support Uneek ! You always have a way of making me feel warm and fuzzy !!

Yea it was the week you were out of touch. She was already offended that no one was agree ing with her opinions, and when the ranking ticked over, she blew up and deleted her account. Nothing I could do, so I just shrugged it off. Forgot about it till just now.

Ponee I love the new names, then again the others didn't bother me at all. Thanks.

FountainPure?  I didn't check, but seems that was the name of the one that left.  Hope I'm not way off base.  She took offense to "milage junkie".  I understand "junkie" does have a negative connotation, but think she overreacted.  I liked her & am sorry she's gone.

AAhhh, Ok.  So that was who left.  I am also sorry that she/he is gone, I didn't realize she/he was upset.  I also enjoyed FP participation on the boards.  Their interaction will be missed.  If they had waited, I would actually have changed theirs to VIP also, because they regularly particpated. :(

Yea, I suggested that Ponee, and explained that it was nothing personal, just a system thing due to the number of her posts. But she went ahead and deleted her account anyway.

Ponee ; Can you not find her e-mail address and send her a mess. ?

:-(

Should you ever want to change the ranking names again,
you could always go old school...REAL OLD SCHOOL...

Stable Mucker - Up to 25 posts
Court Jester - Up to 100 posts
Count / Countess - Up to 250 posts
Prince / Princess - Up to 500 posts
Archduke / Archeduchess - Up to 750 posts
King / Queen - Up to 1000 posts
Emperor / Empress - Up to 2500 posts

The old school was good for a time{a short time} but I don't think I'd want to look back- Alot of shit happened, and some of it was not nice at all-

Wait.
You guys actually used the names
I suggested, years ago?

I had no idea.

When I said, "old school", I was
referring to the actual names being
from medieval times.

Didn't mean to stir up any
bad feelings or open any old
wounds.

I'll go sit in the time-out chair now...

It seems that I have not been allocated
any storage space, so I am unable to attach
the pic of my time-out chair.

However, as a computer weinee, there's
a workaround for almost everything...

I present to you...my time-out chair...

Mrparrot, I meant the way things were back when we joined the site, we never used the names or designations you mentioned, although it could be brought in with a few modifications, IF Ponee agrees- When someone speaks of 'old school',I think back when I started working at a garage in Maine when I was 15, and the old school techniques and tools that were used to repair cars and trucks- I got out of the 'Technical' aspect of mechanics and technical, computerized repairs about 2 years ago, and with all the new computronics there are now, anyone would need 30-40 thousand dollars worth of equipment to deal in the new cars and trucks, and I had decided that enough was enough- It's pretty bad when you have to buy tools that eat your paycheck up in 7-10 years just to pay for all that stuff- I'm pushing 59 now, and it is something I no longer want to continue- I work at a welding shop,now, fabricating different projects, and welding-

Wow, Mrparrot, not too shabby!! I could use one of those myself!

I have no idea for names...I'm still trying to figure out how I can get my name to show a color like pink or green.

Ponee, I was meaning the site when we first got here,It was old school compared to how it is now- I'm sorry if I confused y'all-

GoldieGirl, Ponee could help you if she has the time- She's real good at that kind of thing-

***uses White-Out on his screen over GG's name,
then rewrites her name with a pink high-lighter***

All done...

Ah mrparrot....that would be the blonde way to do it. I was looking for something more permanent. 

Ponee, Mine should say Veteran, what do you think?

Nope...moonshine master....

Ok, That'll work!! :winky winky:

***wipes off the White-Out, paints over
GG's name with primer and white paint, and
writes GGG with a pink glitter paint***

Yes, there's an extra G in there.

It should have been in there from the start...

Do I dare ask what the extra G means?

Looks like your wearing pink Mona

Someone que the theme music
from Wheel Of Fortune...

G _ _ _ _ _ _ S

Yeah...I'm a green VIP member now. Does that get me first in line at the bank...JK...

GG Parrot is 1st and we line up behind him lol

I think a few sun flower seeds and he'll let me step in line in front of him.

Here mrparrot..got some nice seeds for you.

Hope they're unsalted.

Sunflower seeds?

Really?

No thanks.

The fat content is off the charts
with those things.

I'd be happy with a chicken bone.
Leg.
With a little meat still left on it...
