i've read somewhere that when you reach 100 posts, the software automatically notifies Malcolm who in turn sends you a really cool home of poi t-shirt on the other hand i've heard some place else that not only you don't get a t-shirt but that what happens is that people think you are sad!!! well we'll wait and see...i bet i'll be the first one to find out Ali...Simos

...but I could have sworn that Malcolm was going to give you (100 entries person) a cart and 90 seconds to whizz round his shop! (any of u guys see supermarket sweep with daley babey!?)....race ya all (i'll kick yer butt!) [This message has been edited by sammie (edited 27 December 2000).]

By the time you have reached 100 posts you will all probably be so full of hot air that you will be called Windbags

Posted: 26th Dec 2000

almost there.....hay look at this another post he he he.the sad part is if i started posting in here when i found the site i would be over 100 posts by nowoh well soon enough it'll happen!!!!

Posted: 20th Jan 2001
so you get to be senior just by talking a lot. thats cheap

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
One would hope, that when you post, you are "contributing" to an on going discussion, rather than just talking to hear the sound of your own voice, or to obtain the "rank" of senior member. And I think that people who have worthy things to contribute should certainly be recognized. It isn't exactly the rating system of Ebay, but being as most of us cannot see each other perform, how else is there to judge? Besides, spiffspiff. I'm sure that if you've been on this board for a reasonable length of time, you have already formed opinions on what to expect from certain members, and who's advice you would rather follow (if any). So what the status of their membership is doesn't really matter, does it?

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
spiffspiff and Jesse...although i don't feel i should defend the fact that the guy at Infopop who wrote the software for this BB decided to make it so that you become a 'senior' member after 30 posts i will say what i think...first of all i wish this whole senior member thing would vanish right now and we all had the status of member; unfortunately as i don't have the means to do this and i had people asking how you become a senior member (i was the first one to become because i do talk a lot and try to reply to anyone when i feel i have information which will help them) i just started this topic so that everyone knew that being a senior member had only to do with the number of posts and NOT the poi skills (i am a beginner myself compared to a lot of the people on the site) - what i keep on wondering about is how this topic has boiled down to people writing 'bitter' replies like Jesse's (sorry Jesse that's how it sounds) - and to end this i wonder; how exactly did your reply to this 'topic' contributed to an on-going discussion? and if you think that you shouldn't follow anyone's advice on this site i am sorry because there are people on this BB with LOTS of experience in Poi and performing and have definitely helped me a lot so far,no hard feelings & happy swinging Simos

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
good point. A take advice from people i trust, and i form opinions on who i trust based on what they say, not there status. It doesn't matter at all what someones status is.

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
you become a senior member when you go above 30 posts. peace outgarbo

be excellent to each other: safe:

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
Simos- I didn't think I sounded bitter. I thought I said exactly what you said. Only I chose to use slightly different verbage. "The status of membership only indicates the number of posts a person has made. Not any particular seniority they should hold in anyone's opinion." Here I thought I was encouraging spiffspiff to form his own opinion of his fellow board members based on the reliability of their information, and not on the number of posts they'd made.

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
i am glad we all agree then - Jesse and spiffspiff i apologise if i sounded 'bitter' myself - no hard feelings were intended, honestly!happy swinging to all,Simos

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
...and i do apologise again to make it stand out! (and don't go thinking i am posting this coz i am desperate to reach 1000 posts! )love, peace and happy swinging,Simos

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
Malcolm is probably already thinking about banning me from this BB Jesse - oh look!!! another 2 posts and you are gonna become 'senior' too - and be labelled forever as a gas-bag as Diana put it! happy swinging!Simos

Posted: 22nd Jan 2001
You know....I am at 12? posts...a bumper sticker or a paintbrush for my body paint would be nice Malcolm (hint,hint) However, I hope to think I add something here but that doesn't necessarily mean I do. It's all in personal perspective. I also think I have fallen pray to the comfort of rambling to such a fun loving group of people at times. And hey, whether or not your opinion of me is good...I still post just to irritate you all!!! It's part of my diabolical scheme to see what a combination insanity and poi would make!

I'm so excited!!! One more post and I'm a "gas-bag." Oh boy!!!

Posted: 27th Jan 2001
does a post mean a reply and starting a new topic, or just starting a new topic?-future gas bag

Posted: 27th Jan 2001
smitty - a post is either a reply to a topic or a post starting a new topic - both count towards your total.happy swinging,Simos

Posted: 28th Jan 2001
thanks simos, i kinda found out after i wrote it, stupid me

Posted: 23rd Oct 2003
ok i found this old thread on a random search and i thought i'd revive it.

how does one become a senior member anywho? cause i'm over 200 posts and i can't change my name from member to something cool. not that it really matters all that much, but i wanna be cool like all the rest of the cool kids!

wow, i just noticed that the highest member number of all the people who posted on this before is 81. i feel like such a newbie

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

Posted: 23rd Oct 2003
YOU feel like a newbie!!!!!!!!

there are at least five and a half thousand other people registered here between these guys and me!!

Do I get a T-shirt for that????

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

Posted: 24th Oct 2003
as malcolm said, you can change your member status if....

a) you reach 500 posts.

b) you give him lots of money.

happy?
