I like Illuminati's

At least it's better to post a lot to be an "Ol' Tymer" than a simple whore

Level 1 quote: Embryo Post Count: 0-50
Level 2 quote: Larvae Post Count: 51-100
Level 3 quote: Drone Post Count: 101-250
Level 4 quote: Aprentice Post Count: 251-500
Level 5 quote: Master Post Count: >500

then when more and more people reach the upper end, we change things again.

Or we could follow the model of some cult like Scientology (I ain't drinking no Kool-Aid or buying purple nikes)....

In case people didn't notice, I voted to have the post limits a lot higher than some other suggestions... just because this forum is going to be around for a while... so we should plan it that way... that's why I don't have anyone becoming a "Legit Ol' Tymer" until 5000 posts!

Yea we noticed

At Apop's rate, it will take the most active/spamming member over 5 years to reach 5000.

Dont worry we have a large pool of water with sharkes in it for people who are spamers.

Post by **Apoptosis** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 6:35 pm

Level 1 quote: Legit n00b -> 0
Level 2 quote: Legit User -> 50
Level 3 quote: Legit Tweaker -> 100
Level 4 quote: Legit Enthusiast -> 500
Level 5 quote: Legit Core -> 1000+

Another idea would be to related the use of componet in a computer in order of importance. I.e.

Transistor
.
.
.
CPU

What about:
Level 1 quote: Legit N00b Post Count: 0
Level 2 quote: Legit User Post Count: 25
Level 3 quote: Legit Enthusiast Post Count: 100
Level 4 quote: Legit Modder Post Count: 1000
Level 5 quote: Legit Expert Post Count: 5000

Or, it could be something a little insulting:

Level 1 quote: newb Post Count: ?
Level 2 quote: Gateway Post Count: ?
Level 3 quote: E Machine Post Count: ?
Level 4 quote: Dell Post Count: ?
Level 5 quote: Modder Post Count: ?

A10Pilot3 · Post by **A10Pilot3** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 9:16 pm

wrong order it would be:

E-Machine
Dell
Gateway

And there is nothing wrong with a Gateway

infinitevalence · Post by **infinitevalence** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 9:28 pm

how about

beige box:
Dell
IBM
Alineware
Modxpert

All depends on how many computers you've worked on... The only computers I could not fix with a re-format were Gateways.

Amy · Post by **Amy** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 6:34 am

I'd have to agree...I've never seen anyone who hasn't had trouble with Gateway, but I've seen people who were happy with Dell. . . .and I've seen both ways with E Machines.

i got an old gateway laptop that works well for me. i want a new one but thats just because its slow and the paint it chipping.

eric m. · Post by **eric m.** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 10:46 am

you guys forgot to mention HP/compaq. but that's OT.

i think that having it in realistic stages like:

Level 1 quote: Newbie Post Count: 0-50
Level 2 quote: Consumer Count: 51-200
Level 3 quote: Enthusiast Post Count: 201-450
Level 4 quote: Specialist Count: 451-999
Level 5 quote: Guru Post Count: >999

and once a lot of people start becoming specialists and gurus, you can bump the numbers up to make only the top 4-5% of posters be gurus. once people get to crazy levels like 10k posts, you can make a special one for them. it's so easy to change the forum levels in phpbb2, so why not change it up once in a while. i think setting a high level initially will cause a lot of less intelligent members to post whore by replying with "ok" or

or some generic compliment a lot to get their count up. this way they don't look like trolls even though they are and therefore should be thrown into the shark pit.
