I have been here longer than alot of the "Residents" and I would like them to know it! Anyone here who has been here longer than a "resident" and still "Under-ranks" them?

It seems like you are confusing an issue here....passage of time since registering on here doesn't automatically mean that you contribute lots .....? a Resident is someone who has shared his/her thoughts with the open forum members, many many times (over 500) and the more you do it,  the more you are recognized as a benefit to the community.....sitting and watching for ten years may get you lots of knowledge from the sharing members, but what personal satisfaction do you get from helping others if you don't offer up your knowledge too ?....thats what its about here.....we all share and benefit from the sharing........its a two way street, but you are always most welcome to be a wallflower if you so desire........I see you registered  July 2002 and thats fine for you. You may have tons more knowledge than all of us put together, but we'll never know if you don't offer some of it up and share with the rest of us.....

Don't take this the wrong way, as every little bit helps, and if you only post once a week, its one more thing we wouldn't have acquired if you didn't....so thanks for what you bring to us...........

NO!!!! I have been here veiwing and posting AT least 4 times a week!!! SINCE I REGISTERED!!!!

I don't think it's so much a matter of who ranks who as it is one of bragging rights.  :)

I don't think I'm going to reply anymore because I like the title "Gold Member".........oops to late..........can I withdraw this post?       I agree with Rifleman. I think I've helped a few
people, that darn Deuce won't stop Emailing me with questions. And some of you guys have helped me with the computer stuff. Besides, it keeps me off the streets and out of trouble.  ::)

Four times a week isn't that much..........Look at Andrew N.P. Esselbach........he posts daily and speaks up on every thread that he has a comment on.....he keeps nothing to himself........there are others on here too, who have interests in many of the forums.....look around and see what grabs you....that fourth star is waiting for you at 251...............

I recently became a Resident and I am vey proud of it.  ;D

Of course, then some people split their postings up into 2 or 3 different parts so they get a higher number of postings.  :D

In responses, especially if it entails answering with a quote,  I believe that everyone deserves personal attention....sort of like good customer service ...

Yeah, but I'll never catch up to you this way!  ;D

Catch up to me ?.....I'm running after Ozzy, B'Man, and Andrew..........doing the best I can.........you on the other hand, are closing fast on that fifth star......501 is just around the corner..........

Why does it really matter.  I mean, if your contributing to our community-the rank shouldn't matter.  I mean I don't treat someone who is a gold member than I treat a resident.  All it is is a little yellow star and nothing more.  I really don't think that I would call them "ranks" atb all since they really have no signifficance.

I think it's a bad system.  It seems like all people want to do is get those five starts, so they start posting nothing but spam and useless posts.  Especially posts that consist of " " or "nice shots".  No real valuable feedback, just spam.  I just wish you could edit your title once you got to 500.  Platinum Playa!  That would sound cool.
