Having been named after my father, I'll never outlive "junior" status...That's okay, after 50 years, I'm used to it. |

I think you get to be a regular "member" at 50, and "intermediate" at 100. But I doubt anyone here really thinks of you as a junior, Gale. |

Isn't that interesting? I never even noticed the Junior next to my name until your post(s). I guess I just pay more attention to username familiarization and/or their date of registration. The membership classification doesn't really mean anything to me. I've been around since October of 2002, and I also was a member of the original Yahoo group, but I don't post that often, so I guess I'm doomed to be a "junior" until my demise. :-) |

The threshhold is set to 50 posts to graduate. Currently they are: New: 0 Junior: 10 Member: 50 Intermediate Member: 100 Advanced Member: 200 Senior Member: 400 We had a discussion about it a year ago, but I'm still trying to decide on the "names." It can only be triggered by number of posts, and any suggestions are welcomed. |

Hi All, My suggestions are: Member: 0 Occasional Contributor: 10 Intermediate Contributor: 50 Regular Contributor: 100 Advanced Contributor: 200 Senior Conributor: 400 That way your membership to the Club is granted as soon as you register regardless of the number of your posts. Later on, depending on how actively you become involved, you can "earn" various degrees of the title "Contributor". This scheme also avoids the word "Junior" which (as we have seen) can potentially offend or irritate people. Cheers, Peter |

Mica I suggest we name the contributor levels after various grades of wood. We can all aspire to be "burled coco bolo contributors". David |

Guys ...you make me feel very bad. What can I say? I'm over 1000 so must be nearly dead. I don't feel very important, anluy a big white one big a big mouth and not always having something senseful to say. I didn't lived though the Yahoo period -yeah ...I missed al that fun- but have 1000. I know some people here who are the most silent people I ever know but as soon as they "open there mouth" it is "printing time". I suggest we forget about the postnumbers. I don't know what it serves. We all proved as Alembic-players to be open minded, eager to learn, and respectfull against every opinion. See for yourself: our beloved "moders" Val en Mica are complete out of work modering: Val isa testing basses in the company Mica is running. LOL Paul the bad one PS: let's ask the Elf department in this club to give us names. Nobody will understand a damn.

Why do we need degrees? Why not just post the number of postings with the registration date. After 5 year, 100 postings is no longer "Regular". Another good idea might be to add a first name next to the login. Other than that, let's keep this forum simple and graceful, not loaded with icons and emoticons and who-knows-what-else. |

I like David's idea about wood names. Veterans like P(TBO) could have "quilted cocobolo" status. Or we could have something like: Excel Essence Rogue Europa Series I Series II Joe |

Let us not forget; Skylark, Further,Tribute, etc....I know the strings are tiny but they have a mighty voice. Joking aside, I like the idea of categorizing by instrument or wood names. |
