Members & Junior Members

#1 · Nov 24th, 1999, 06:41 AM

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be cool
if there were Senior Members?? something like
300+ posts??

By the way: Since I'm already posting, I might as well just add to it. Does anyone
know the basics of developing your own
Operating System? If you know any sites that
have that kind of information, can you please
E-mail me???

You've got a long way to go Member type person...you've only got 60 posts!!

(Still makes me look pathetic!!)

300+ posts is not enough for being a senior member, it should be like 1000+ (been there)! Besides from what it should be, first it should exist...

I don't agree on a senior membership based purely on the number of posts, as this could encourage meaningless replies for just the sake of becoming a senior.

I would suggest instead that administrators organize a contest or a votation, say one a month to elect the "Senior Member of the Month" in a democratic way.

Some one else agree?

**Jessie** · Nov 25th, 1999, 11:22 AM

Jr Member, Member, Sr Member i think it all really doesn't matter because are we all not here for the same reason to find answers to any problems that we are having.

Speaking of silly Posts i think this post made me a member hmm i still suck at vb though i am now a member

And if you had 8000 post that equal the content of this posing by myself..so what?

If you want recognization...dress funny!

**chrisjk** · Nov 25th, 1999, 12:18 PM

Where does it say how many you have posted??

I like dressing funny but none of your guys can see it

Maybe you can contact the people that made it...

**Blaster** · Jul 1st, 2001, 11:06 PM

I would like to have alot of posts

**crptcblade** · Jul 1st, 2001, 11:09 PM

good for you.

Here's some advice, though...the best way to get them is to post useful/real questions and answers, not by digging up threads that haven't been touched in 2 years

**NotLKH** · Jul 1st, 2001, 11:15 PM

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be cool
if there were Senior Members

Meg, UR1!

But, Really, Can you give a reason for this designation?
Of What Benefit/Purpose could there be to warrent such a thing?

Tygur · Jul 1st, 2001, 11:50 PM

This thread is old!

It looks like Megatron had only 60 posts when this thread was started! (That is what matthewralston was saying, right?)

**shragel** · Jul 1st, 2001, 11:55 PM

Whats Going On here Such A Old thread.

Cant The dead rest in peace?

**NotLKH** · Jul 2nd, 2001, 08:26 AM

HaHa, your right!!!!, It slipped right by me!

Its Nicely Nostalgic, though!

Just think of the Irony, Meg wanting to be a PostMaster, err,
a Senior Member with More than 300 Posts.

**jjortiz** · Jul 2nd, 2001, 03:08 PM

My God what have i stumble upon. Nice old Thread. Old timers debating todays still around issues. I just had to get a piece of this thread.

**Static** · Jul 2nd, 2001, 03:27 PM

Jeez Blaster...you must have had to Clean a hell of alot of spider webs off this one! 11-24-99! Megatron was a vbWOrld Youngin then!
LOL

**jjortiz** · Jul 2nd, 2001, 03:35 PM

Hey now people can see that Megatron was a youngin once.

**jjortiz** · Jul 2nd, 2001, 06:28 PM

Megatron Just keeping this thread up. I thought it was interesting.

egiggey · Jul 2nd, 2001, 06:45 PM

JJ isn't that you harping on people for bumping questions for silly threads hmmm
Geeez I'm so proud of you after all your talk your just a screw off like the rest of us

**parksie** · Jul 2nd, 2001, 06:48 PM

Welcome to the esteemed ranks of the crazies

Damn, you're getting like me - I do this occasionally (dig up old threads and attempt to replant them in the gutter)

egiggey · Jul 2nd, 2001, 06:50 PM

Hey parksie your location kinda scares me

What Brand of peanut Butter?

**James Stanich** · Jul 2nd, 2001, 08:54 PM

What about a questions and answers comparasions?

To truely evaluate, woudn't it be more relative to the number of post answered, than the questions posted by the user? That would truely be the judge...

Tygur · Jul 2nd, 2001, 09:44 PM

Actually, if it gets done that way, it would probably be better to count correct or accurate answers, rather than just any questions. In order to do that, you'd need to have people rating others...

**parksie** · Jul 3rd, 2001, 06:19 AM

...and that gets a bit silly considering most of the higher posters (like Megatron, Kedaman, Matt Gates, HeSaidJoe, Mark Sreeves, and a whole lot of others) have already been "unofficially" rated, in a way.

Don't know what brand, it's generic

**NotLKH** · Jul 3rd, 2001, 07:47 AM

Hmm,

How about a second rating system based on the total time
you're logged on in VB-World. I have a suggestion for the
ultimate designation.

For time logged on > 1,000,000 Minutes,
Designation = IM_TheBigPotatoe

You know,

I'd like Mega to {re} join in on this thread.
See if he can help out his younger self.
Hey, It would be fun to see the two of 'em posting
back and forth here.

spetnik · Jul 3rd, 2001, 09:50 AM

yeah, sounds like some science fiction movie

**Bonker Gudd** · Jul 3rd, 2001, 09:54 AM

It always annoys me the amount people go on about this stuff.
It sounds like you want to turn this into Experts Exchange!

Look, I like it here, which why I come here and not EE.

Relax, enjoy

What ever happened with your Operating System?

Well for starters, you're posting this in the wrong section. It should be in the C++ forum, but since there was no C++ forum back then, I guess you couldn't. Developing an operating system is a lot of work, and it's not a good idea to try to do it yourself. You'll need a team of experienced C programmers (notice I said C, because VB doesn't have the capability of doing this). You also might want to try to learn some ASM, because it will come in handy when building a kernel.

Proof that Megatron hasn't lost his sense of humour just because he hardly ever visits the gutter (otherwise known as Chit Chat)

It Sure Did!
