400th MEMBER

[TC]

WOOOOOOHOOOOO, Just hit the 400 members milestone..........and it\'s George Dodds.......one of ther lads from where I work :P

Hi George, good to see you decided to join us

Some of you may have seen the post I put in SHORE FISHING, asking for advice on a suitable rod for a young\'n.........it\'s Georges\' young\'n.

George, have a look at the topic \"JUNIOR SIZED RODS\".......some canny suggestions in there.

I know you\'ve got lots of questions about sea fishing......doesn\'t matter how \"basic\" you think they are......we\'ve ALL been there. All advice is given freely on NESA and there\'s a wealth of angling experience here to draw upon..........remember........ NONE OF US IS AS CLEVER AS ALL OF US..........lol.......(sorry lads....in-house joke.... )

[alan]

[alan]

Not sure about this \"old timer\" carry on

[alan]

I seem to remember some kind person on here giving me grief for the same thing Alan lol.

OK, OK.......I was waitin\' for somebody to spot that....lol

I changed the member categories a couple of weeks ago......

I didn\'t like the \"newbie\", \"junior member\", \"member\", \"senior member\" thing .......and the number of posts needed to \"progress\" through the rankings\".........There\'s now NO junior member rank and the senior member has been replaced by old timer (apologies if this causes any ageism issues....lol).
I\'ve also cut the number of posts required to move up the rankings.

Actually, I\'m thinking of doing away with the ranking system completely.........that would mean peeps losing their stars, though......and I know how some are proud of attaining theirs.......lol

[willywetegg]

Tony some of us OLDIE\"S would probably not be bothered about losing a few stars lol. I thought it was hilarious when some nice person mentioned it a few weeks ago. I would rather lose them than decent fish lol.

very proud m8,think we should have a poll Tony lol ?

[willywetegg]

Lol it depends what we are going to get for 800 posts Alan.

Errmmm......
Been so long since I altered the rankings, I got the above details wrong.


The old ranking system was:
newbie 1 post
jnr member 2 posts
member 100 posts
snr member 500 posts
posting freak 1000 posts

To enable members to progress through the rankings a bit quicker, they are now;

newbie 1 post
jnr member 2 posts
member 25 posts
snr member 250 posts
old timer 700 posts


Sorry chaps, but \"old timer\" is top of the shop and no more stars after that...

\"think we should have a poll Tony lol ?\"
