Regulars

Published on January 1, 2004 By kongit In WinCustomize Talk

There are many regular posters here at the messageboard. At some other sites acknowledgement is given to those based on their number of posts. I don't completely think that an idea like that would carry over correctly here, but I'd like to see something of that nature implemented. Perhaps a new title for those like kona, xaltec or I who frequent the forums, but have not attained the apprentice status. We might not be as helpful as say Yrag or are rooted here like WOM, but we try.

I wouldn't mind except all of the normal titles for a citizen just don't look good with my nick and I'd like to have something in front of my name to make me feel special. I have strange needs.

ps I know I haven't been here as long as a lot of you guys, but I like it here and intend to stay.

Some suggestions are:
"Idiot","Troll","Wincustomite","Boarder","Regular","Killer","Dawg", "Gorilla","Clown","Ugly",...you get the idea, just something to spice up my life.

I tried to be just 'Jafo'....but I didn't get the disrespect deserving of an admin that way so had to add the prefix....

Sadly, 'Power-hungry zealot' wasn't listed as an option, and some woman already had the title 'God', my wife has laid claim to 'Boss', which leaves me up the proverbial without a paddle...

Even 'Just Jafo' is no good, as the 'just' is redundant.....

'Dude' is a wee bit too 'American'....perhaps 'Old Bastard'....that has an Aussie ring to it....

Yo Jafo, how about Umpire or referee?

Maybe even Judge.

I contribute to the message boards when I can, but am not literate in how to create skins and things,so I would never reach apprentice level without purchase(which might still happen in 2004)I think however that the paid subscribers should not be listed as apprentice which suggests skills some subscribers will never have (like me).
I really don't want a title, but would love to get rid of the "citizen" tag. It smacks of "Animal Farm" and I keep waiting to hear the word "comrade" used.

Was just going to tell you how to get rid of that citizen, but you beat me to it.

How about custom titles for those who post a lot? Avatars even? Sigs? A real lookin' message board? (Although these currently aren't so bad)

Subscribing doesn't get you an instant Apprentice title.

Maybe subscribers should get wulfn1's "Comrade" title...or just be happy with the little WC Browser logo.

Purchasing a subscription does not earn you the title of Apprentice

Totally off topic I know, but I saw this on essencay's link.

Eventually, we will also have the top community skin authors which will be determined through Stardock's upcoming "Convergence" application that will allow users to automatically (and optionally) to send what skins and themes and icons they're using to a central database (user information is kept anonymously).

Any info on when that's coming out? I'll make a new topic on this if there's a few replies. Most likely there's already a topic about it.

Thanks everyone who filled me in on that. My lack of WC knowledge is positively baffling. you'd think after being here for two and a half years I'd have learned something useful by now. unfortunately for me, usually when I come in here, I am either in a hurry, or totally stressed out from dealing with kids , schools, and family members who don't know how to use a computer, so I tend to veg out here.. contributing to knowledge bases, and absorbing from same is usually out of the question. oh ya, and I tend to go on and on and on and on and on.............

Just curious...What exactly must one do to become an Apprentice? I skin...sort of. Still a Citizen, though.
