Does postin bablin #$%* count? BLA BLA BBBB
Guess it does , I'm still alowed to post.

Everything counts. However, the moderators do reserve the right to periodically delete old messages and message threads that have no real content value (subject to interpretation). :-)

How about when you hit 2500 or what ever you become Sinatra- Chairman of the Board.

Had to post to see if I'm worthy. Still haven't figured out how to see what my number is, either.

I added two most posting groups:

Master - 1000 posts
Chairman - 2000 posts

Best I can think of at the moment. I'm sure if we put our collective minds to it, we could come up with better groups based on post counts. Suggest away...

Okay, if 500 posts is "old timer" then 1000 posts could be "two timer". (not original, I've already been called this on this forum. $:-\$ )

Wait, I'm just warming up...

Or, any of the higher numbers can be "loquacious member". You choose which.

Certainly, instead of simply "Master" it should be "Master Member".

Then Senior Master member, perhaps.

More than 3000 posts ought to be "senile member", or perhaps the "shriveled member", or the "ode-to-viagra member".

I'll think about this some more. I can probably do better after a night's sleep. Maybe not...

Are you two tyred to think straight

oldbiker · « **Reply #31 on:** December 20, 2005, 02:11:24 AM »

Hey Two Tired, I think I already qualify for the 'shrivelled member' title!

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #32 on:** December 20, 2005, 02:42:14 AM »

Maybe we should be "ranked" on posts-per-day rather than total number, as this discriminates against the newer members?

I suggest:

0-1: Day Job
1-2: Night Job
2-3: College
3-4: Batchelor
4-5: Unemployed
5-6: Retired
6+: Special category for lost souls (Jim Shea, Bob Wessner this is you)

Hey, it's a bike forum, why not the size/model of the SOHC4s. just a thought.

Great idea!

We could start off with the "lower-order" bikes eg 750s and move up through the 550s to the obvious top of the pile: the 500/4 !!

dusterdude · « **Reply #34 on:** December 20, 2005, 05:31:39 AM »

steve,you forgot about the k8 being the lowest of the low

Glenn Stauffer · « **Reply #35 on:** December 20, 2005, 06:36:42 AM »

See that's the problem with using bikes for categories - one person's 750 is another person's 350 - in terms of moving up or down the ladder.

74cb750 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 20, 2005, 07:04:36 AM »

I kinda like SteveD's suggestion, but then again it would be just another thing my wife could point to and say:
see, even these guys think you should get a job!

How about retired AND lost.

Jim, I think we are being labeled loquacious.

Glenn Stauffer · « **Reply #38 on:** December 20, 2005, 07:21:45 AM »

Just ran across this on another forum site:

category posts

lurker 0 - 20
novice 21 - 100
enthusiast 101 - 500
hot shot 501 - 1000
expert 1001 - 1500
master 1501 - 2000
virtuoso 2001 and up

What do you think?

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #39 on:** December 20, 2005, 07:24:37 AM »

How long do you think it'll take Bob to blow that scale (at 6.9 posts per day)?

I like the "lurker" though...

also, "virtuoso" makes it sound as if they have some sort of special skill.

How about: 2500 and up = Old Git

Yeah, and that would be a mistake, at least in my case.

Oops, there goes another count against me.

eldar · « **Reply #41 on:** December 20, 2005, 07:57:18 AM »

Now gordon, all use "master" posters have 1 star. See, THATS ALL WE NEED!

And look at duster, still on his hunt to find a K8 of his own!

Glenn Stauffer · « **Reply #42 on:** December 20, 2005, 08:09:57 AM »

Don't panic, but I put the "new" ranking system in place for a trial run. Instead of using Virtuoso for 2501+ posts, I used Old Timer.

Next I need to find a set of icons that are better than the stars to go with the rankings.

Feel free to tell me if you don't like this - it is very easy to change.

Here is how the group rankings look:

Lurker: 0-20 posts; 1 star (1311 members)
Novice: 21-100 posts; 2 stars (215 members)
Enthusiast: 101-500 posts; 3 stars (63 members)
Hot Shot: 501-1000 posts; 4 stars (16 members)
Expert: 1001-1500 posts; 5 stars (5 members)
Master: 1501-2500 posts; 6 stars (2 members)
Old Timer: 2501+ posts; 7 stars (0 members)

Are we sure we want Bob as a master? Boy that almost sounds like asking for trouble!

SteveD CB500F · « **Reply #44 on:** December 20, 2005, 08:18:22 AM »

How about the little blue "favicon" thingy instead of stars?

Jim Shea · « **Reply #45 on:** December 20, 2005, 09:21:29 AM »

I almost missed that I was being abused in this post due to the elitist subject!
I must be the newest, old timer, can anyone beat 7.029 average posts a day? I am sure dusterdude must be more than that!
Btw, my posts are always, fatuous, inane and generally pointless, at least Bob knows what he is talking about?

In future please notify me by pm if I am being abused! (Steve!)
Jim.

Jim Shea · « **Reply #47 on:** December 20, 2005, 09:47:50 AM »

No mate, well not unless you want to be?

I wish i could post a reply to a technical question just once! maybe one day when a simple question comes up I will get my wish!

cbjunkie · « **Reply #48 on:** December 20, 2005, 09:50:21 AM »

surely el cheapo blows 7.029 away...surely!

Jim Shea · « **Reply #49 on:** December 20, 2005, 09:53:29 AM »

Not even close, Cheapo is 4. something per day.
