I have noticed that everyone has a title depending on either time spent on here or the number of posts made by that person.
For example LukeJavan8 is named Pooh-bah and tsuwm Carpal Tunnel, I just wondered if anyone knows what all the labels are and at what point you become which?

this is kind of humorous, from a historical perspective. the board software has gone through some major 'updates' over the years, but the one thing that has remained constant is the bloody board titles. many moons ago, the exact numbers needed to attain each title was recorded here. all that sticks in my memory is that Carpal Tunnel is the ultimate.

well, I'd nearly forgotten about this: Jo's helpful hints

as hinted at above, some of this (perhaps much) has been OBE due to all the updates; but the titles v. post numbers still seems to apply.

I remember asking how I could congratulate Jo on becoming an addict! I wish she were still here. And others. But it's a good group now.

One reason why I keep wanting to sticking around here (and I am not too good at staying in one place) is I have been here so long. I keep going away and coming back.
I am from the east, black and different in other ways too, but strangely I have always felt a part of this group - dunno why. Thanks yall for the acceptance.
I'll be away a while. Shifting to a new job, new state, new house and worrying about the possibility that everything is going to fall apart.

Things will fall apart and things will stay. No use to worry about what how and when.
Good luck Avvy in your new surroundings and work and as long you have an internet connection you could pass by every now and then? We're all from different places and often cultures.
Never mind. (wow, you're from the year 2000, that's really a long time!)

Lots of luck, Avy, and as Bran says: stop by once in a
while.

Me too. I've wondered about the titles.
Another site I visit uses Grand Panjandrum as their top
poster.

Thanks for that.

WOW....I've posted 200 already.

and Carpel Tunnel is the ultimate...seems a shame that once you are there, there is nothing more.

And what exactly is a Grand Panjandrum? I know that Pooh-bah is the name of the head of the club Fred and Barney go to in the Flintstones...also possibly a riff on the leader of the Masons?

ps I'm a journeyman now! I wonder what's next...and when wink
