DrClay Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 I noticed that beneath my avatar there is the title: Heatshield Scrubber... what does this mean? Is it some sort of insult? Can I change it? if so, how? Also, there is a little bow/dot/thing below it.... what is this? a check mark? a warning? i doubt i could be something good, not for ME! anyways, I hope somebody who knows answers my query, not sure if this is the right place to post, but in the FAQ section there is only RULES RULES RULES!!! I searched but aparently I am the only one who doesn't know... or the search function here sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 (edited) I am the highest non-mod. Looks like Agent One is about to become a Concert Attendee as well. He's almost at 2500. I think that's where it changes, but I may be wrong. Edited June 10, 2004 by Anubis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsu legato Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 soooooo... it IS an insult. Got it. Good gravy....do you also get insulted when people pass you in traffic? Why get insulted? In case you didn't notice, everybody else with your approximate number of posts has the exact same goddamn member title. And yet you somehow feel slighted by this? Just post more and work your way up to "Destroid Armor Waxer" and everything will seem better. You'd better watch out, or some mod will give you a real custom title.

Agent ONE Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 well, paint me green and call me a n00b!soooooo... it IS an insult. Got it. No way dude... It is just a post count thing and personally I don't feel like a person can have a high post count and be far more insignifigant than many members with higher post counts. If I may use you as an example. I have read what you have to say around here and you always impress me with some wisdom and I know your interest is mostly in the toy section of MW. I even remember your old avatar, the same tiger just not so zoomed in. Now there are other members with 5 times as many posts as you and I can't tell you jack crap about them... I don't know what they are into and for the most part I wouldn't even remember their existance if they quit posting here. So just keep in mind that post count is a fool's measure of worth around here. I am not against post counts or anything, I just see it as a measure of how much time one has to spend on the board, nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Payne Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 OK...I've tried to not pay attention to the whole thing, but this is getting ridiculous. I see the member titles as being sort of a parody of those ranking systems on other websites (which do reward for posting as much as possible, regardless of the value to discussion). The titles, IMHO, are funny (although I must say that Groo is no lackey!) and they add a bit of class to the site. NTM, I seem to remember a few titles back on the old board which caused no end of controversy because people were almost totally left to their own devices on custom titles.

bsu legato Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I just wish the mods would implement some kind of Yoshinol Points System. Don't ask me what they'd do, but they'd be neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the mods did that there would be a circle jerk of losers around them trying to win points by kissing their asses... Some mods on other boards, like RT.com for example, might get a kick out of that but the Mods here are not into that kind of thing. They just want to enjoy the board like the rest of us.

valkyrietestpilot Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 you know,i'd really like mine to say "bridge bunny waxer" instead of the whole valk heatshield thing.it's more intune with my persona.clowning around & skirt chasin' what the others have mentioned is true though.alot of the "old headz" around here disappear for a while & miss these upgrades,but they are welcome friends at our table.i'd have 10 million posts here too,if i didn't have to put in time under the hood w/ my girlfriend & put in crazy overtime at my carreer.you guys w/ internet access at work don't realize how good you have it.man,i have to wait 12 hours to reply to my threads sometimes.kinda kills your efforts to "try to get the jump" on an elusive toy in the sale section.damn,a 1/48 hikaru to trade for something i have.missed it by 12 hours oh,well,sniffle,sniffle. post counts mean nothing.mine's low,but alot of guys here know me by name.just as i know them by theirs.good jestures & coolness are what's remembered,not the number under your user name.

Max Jenius Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 My post count is large. But this is my total since the beginning. I think I'm short about 1500 posts total, but that's fine. I figure it balances out my wacky posts in Winter 00 - Spring 01... so I consider this count spam-free. . . unlike Skullone(banned) who almost made 10000 just by always replying to every topic he could... whether he was contributing or not. Maybe I should get into HG License debates though... that's a post-mine. *lords over the rest of you with mighty post count* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Skully got himself banned for being an ass. He was just a very prolific ass and pretty much lived in the Anti HG and World's Longest Threads. Of course, this all happened before we even had titles. I'd like to think the post-whoring days are beyond us now. I actually respect Max less with each number added to his tally.
