Is there a place to view stats on posters besides the ones posted for each member? Who is the King of posts? Who is the Queen? Does anyone but me consider it sad that anyone earning the title of “Old Hand” has nothing better to do? Would the King of posts on the BB be BB King? What other names could we use to describe prolific posters? Grand Master BB? Post Master?

Yeah, what kind of a loser would post over 500 messages on this forum?

Why is it sad? Because the person likes to help others with their computer problems? That doesn't sound sad to me.

Very good! I came up with “Board Head” but that sounds more like a surfer than a poster to me. How about “Newsgroup Nympho”?

Hey, Bubba himself almost has over 500!!!

I AM THE KING OF POSTS MUWAHHAHHA

( and no I didn't get this title by posting lame junk all the time, if you look at my posts you'll see I actually PARTICIPATE in the hardware arguements and debates)

Hey Griz what do you want to be called? I am not meaning to piss off any of the Uber-posters but can’t help stirring the pot a little in good fun. How about “Need a Life” or “Hiding From the Wife”. If you are truly the King shouldn’t you get to pick your own title? How about “It’s Good to be the King” with a little picture of a King boinking a Pawn.

If you’re not pissing the fools off then you are one.

Sorry for not being more PC. In the original version of the post which started this thread I called myself sad also. It is not meant as a slam. However Griz is not always in the business of helping others with their computer problems. He even says as much in his post in this thread when he says “if you look at my posts you'll see I actually PARTICIPATE in the hardware arguements and debates”. Griz spends as much time arguing as helping.

I like Tempus' "Forum Gigolo". I almost fell of my chair when I read it. Yes, apparently I haven't been out lately if I find that funny enough to fall off my chair. But it is catchy..."Forum Gigolo"...!

Hey while were at it. Lets give some ideas for the next level. If were going with forum gigolo, next level should be forum pimp. And for the the ladies, forum ho, and forum madames.

How about a little script that lets us all know how many posts behind Grizly1 we are. When (or if!) someone manages to catch up, they should take the title and Grizly would be reduced to number of posts behind the new leader. I think the volume of posts might cripple the server thought!

That's pretty arrogant considering the company you're in.
I like that in a forum member.
:smile:
But you better keep you post count up. There are some people catching up to you. And lately there have been some pretty senseless threads and people are racking up their post counts pretty quickly.

Nope, the closest person is only ~130 posts away.
I'm going to try and catch up without making it too obvious.
I would still like to post mainly meaningful things to help people.
Stay on your toes. :smile:

Errrrrr

Bubba you have posted 5 times on this thread and have not come up with any names or answers to questions. Griz has many BS posts also but at least he submitted names and has answered questions.

My favorite so far is Tempus's "Forum Gigolo". Can anyone beat that? You owe me a name Bubba. Hey Bubba what will you want to be called if/when you are the King?

Ok, ok, I admit it, I am in the wrong for not submitting a name and not positively contribiting to this constructive and worth-while thread.
For that, I am truely sorry.
However, I don't think I can do better than "Forum Gigolo."
Its just too hard to beat.
Let me think of something and I'll get back to you. (I know that's a cheap way out, but I gotta go right now. I'll be back later tonight)

How about "T.P. Wanna Be"? Maybe "Byte Me" with a picture of a Slim Jim. Griz might pick "Can't Touch This" with a midi of the song.

Hey I’m a journeyman!

I agree that “Forum Gigolo” is hard to beat and that is probably the problem with this thread. I was hoping for more names but people are intimidated by Tempus. Hey Tempus if you really are so good come up with another one.

Why are peolple intimidated by me? Although, that doesn't sound like a bad trait on a forum such as this... As for a new name better than Forum Gigolo, that's pretty hard to top. How about "Power Sucker"?

Jeeze, onto 6 pages of talking about what we would like the promo to be named seems a bit too much. Even this post I'm writing now makes me feel hypocritical of myself. Game, set, match, "Forum Gigolo" takes home the gold medal and everyone stops whinning about their dimpled chads.

In your preferences for this forum, you can set how many posts you want to view per page. I have it set to 50 because most threads don't go over that.
But this one does.

Still trying to think of names, but not having any luck.
