    Question

    It seems that classifying everybody into 3 categories - Junior, Member and Sernior Member - is a little bit limited. There have been suggestions to make some new titles or extend the existing ones.

    (BTW, the title is the text below your name when you post)

    Suggestions include:

    1)
    - new member
    - junior member
    - member
    - active member
    - hyperactive member
    - fanatic member
    - senior member

    Or something fun:
    2)
    <10 newbie
    10-30 script kiddie
    30-100 junior programmer
    100-150 wannabe geek
    150-250 api guru
    250-650 geek
    650+ king geek

    3)
    vb Virgin
    vb Volunteer
    vb Villain
    vb Vagrant
    vb Veteran
    vb Vagabond
    vb Vicar
    vb Vixen
    vb Victim
    vb Victor
    vb Vegetable

    4) Keep them as they are.

    Basically this thread is JUST for votes. If you have a suggestion, post it on the end of this thread:
    http://forums.vb-world.net/showthrea...umber=lastpost


    VOTES only here remember!

    Smile

    If you want my opinion (which you probably don't) I would
    prefer 1) but instead of:

    - new member
    - junior member
    - member
    - active member
    - hyperactive member
    - fanatic member
    - senior member

    I would rearrange some of them (personally I think a fanatic
    member should have posted a lot more than a senior member):

    - new member
    - junior member
    - member
    - active member
    - senior member
    - hyperactive member
    - fanatic member

    If this helps I would like to invite John to be my
    friend?

    If it doesn't help then you can stuff it up your ar...

    Out of what's there, I'd choose (1), but I think the active title should be a prefix to the others, depending on post frequency.

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    you should have for each level.

    junior member 20-50
    member 50-150
    active member 150-250
    hyperactive member 250-500
    fanatic member 500-1000
    senior member 1000+

    Why not to base on the quality and not on the quantity?

    *Boring member
    *Useless member
    *Funny member
    *Nice member
    *VB Doctor
    *VB Guru

    Talking And if you want the masculine

    Une is feminine in French, Un is masculine.

    I thought I'd make that clear.

    Ah well, I've already outstayed my welcome, so I'll
    leave.

    I agree with Juan Carlos Rey, posting a lot of msg's is easy; posting good (=usefull) msg's though seems to be harder.
    Hope this helps
