I'm even further behind..

There's no hope for people like myself that spend a huge amount of time on this forum, but don't feel the need to get in involved in the my XXXX is bigger/faster/less blurry than your XXXX.. or XX technoligy is good.. no it's not debates ..

I really need to disagree more with people on forums, my post count would shoot right up then!

You don't need to disagree all the time, you could agree if you really want to. I browse the forums aswell but don't have much to say, probably due to being married and not able to get a word in.

I feel the same way. I'm not as far behind as you but I visit the forum multiple times throughout the day, most days and don't feel like I have anything to contribute very often. Maybe in another 11 years I may gain access to the MM. :rolleyes:

Haha, first time I've had a post deleted. If I cared about MM access I'd have sorted it 10 years ago. I did not qualify under previous grandfather rights and have never seen it...

Please feel free to reduce post count for this too.

Technically you could participate in the Wordle, Quordle and Octordle (sp?) threads. At 3 posts a day you will have MM access within a year.

Ok had a post deleted but I don't class having a bit of a joke as spamming.

Personally I thought I was contributing to the community by making a joke. Certainly more positive than anything Trump, Musk, etc. related.

Edit: @Armageus by deleting my post I've made 2 I otherwise wouldn't have. Sorry about that.

Double edit: please note I have edited this post rather than make a new one.

Been here 15 years and have less than a post a day, but consider myself active as definitely spend 90% reading and 10% posting. I think the post count was 100 when I got access if my aging mind remembers correctly.

It was 250 posts and a minimum of 90 days membership.

I rarely post as I prefer lurking. Going to have to add some now though.

Same, literally <3

I've just done my half decade upgrade of my PC, so hopefully I'll be up to 1000 in the next 5 years.

Diddums · 13 Jul 2023 at 12:39

1000 posts? But I saw someone enter MM the other week with 459 posts and he was fine. Granted the posts were unboxed and didn't have any warranty but surely we can do a deal here?

Hutchy · 13 Jul 2023 at 13:04

A post a day keeps the @Feek away!

siclilmonkey · 13 Jul 2023 at 13:19

18 years visiting this place, that's about 3 full desktop builds. :cry:

I lurk more than post as thats just me.

Have used a MM a few times and always have a look to see whats about. Will have to be more active this month.

Kelt · 13 Jul 2023 at 17:00

Lots of desperate ex-MM posters that I've never seen before cropping up now!

casaubond · 13 Jul 2023 at 17:20

I have no chance, as I tend to lurk mostly and rarely get involved.
That being said, I get what @Feek is saying regarding to contribution to overall community.
ohh well I guess MM will always be a mirage for me

Alright Flash Harry. My machine's 8 years in and thinking about maybe upgrading in the next 12 months. Mainly because I want the next case wall mounted for some reason.

Gone are the days of fairly regular Voodoo GFX card upgrades and the like (20-25 years ago now!).

Taziir · 15 Jul 2023 at 18:58

Well had better get to posting some comments then and do less lurking

Em3bbs · 15 Jul 2023 at 19:28

There should be some kind of ongoing test, maybe something like over a 6 month period your MM posts must not exceed 20% of your total posts or something.
