Recognition for long-serving forum members?

[InvaderGIR]

What if the contributions that have already been made in a thread require no further contribution.

The guy/girl with few posts might find all the relevant information he/she needs and therefore doesn't need to contribute.

Might not all be spam ha

Then they should have gotten in there quicker to provide information if they want to be seen to be a key member of the forums.

What about 11,043?

Maybe.

Fair one

?

, actually lol'd at that.

 

[Freefaller]

Nope. Don't see the point. Perhaps more avatars (now that more of us are gettIng to 100k) but recognition should be earned not expected.

 

[WantoN]

I have to disagree. As aready stated, the MOH is there to recognise quality contributions.

Someone hanging around, reading threads and posting once a fortnight is hardly a contributor, and as for 'knowing how things work'... it's an internet forum.

 

[Wizzfizz]

Not really interested, nor do I want recognition for posting on a forum.

*has never noticed the OP on this forum before*


ps - 10k post / pre06 secret forum is awesome

ACCESS DENIED!

I just wish everyone could contribute to the 15k+ posters area

Grumble grumble, you make a half-reasonable suggestion to add a little variance and spice to the community, and get shot down as you fully expected to in the first post...

 

[scrlk]

Isn't the porn forum for longstanding members?

 

[Roalith]

Depends how many viagra they've taken.

Badaboom, tsch!

At least you've increased your post count

Decided to 'contribute' a bit more. I'll probably get bored in another 100 post's time.

?

Tupac with the bunny rabbit ears would be better.

<is secretly loving the way most of the anti-point posters are 2009 or newer >

I agree with them. Age of account does not show commitment or value of contribution.

I noticed that Skillmister was taking your suggestion a bit too personally.... maybe i'm just imagining things....maybe not

 

[Moothead2]

I agree with Roalith, people who have been around for a lifetime such as myself should be knighted by OcUK.

Moothead2 OBE.

I like it.

I've seen a few accounts under a year old with 10k+ posts (what that says for the quality of those posts is of course open to interpretation), but old lurkers like my good self who have been around on these boards for an absolute donkey's age get little recognition - we might not be the most verbose of posters, but we have certainly been loyal. These flash-in-the-pan youngsters might not be here this time next year, but us old timers...!

This doesn't make sense, how have you been loyal, is it because you have honoured us with your reading? I'm hardly a whippersnapper, probably older than you actually but in 2002 I had never heard of this place and came to it via another forum member who said go there if you can't get your sound card to, well, you know, make sound n stuff.

However this 'old members' thing has always been a common moan on web forums, guilty of it myself on other places, but it tends to carry more weight when it comes from valuable contributors rather than people who just found the site first.
