Shocked to discover I'm no longer a Preferred Member.

Anyone know when Brett's birthday is?

[diddlydazz]

Congrats Glengara,

It is done (afaik) by the amount of posts you make :)

I don't know when Brett's birthday is, sorry :)

Glengara, maybe you had 200 posts but some got wiped somewhere along the line

You will be preferred once again soon ;)

[pageoneresults]

No, something has changed with the member status. I remember a week or so I ago I finally made Senior Member (300th post) and am now a Preferred Member. A demotion? Okay, what did I do wrong?

[EliteWeb]

Maybe he changed where each status started/stopped and make some more rankings, couz we all know that we want new ratings all the time! Once you get to the top we want higher!

200 - Preferred
400 - Senior

There is a post in Foo about this... just a second. let me find it.

Hey, there should have been some sort of Grandfather Clause! ;)

$mtlevelthreeposts = "80";
$mtlevelfourtitle = "Preferred Member";
$mtlevelfourposts = "200";

My post count seems to have slipped - I looked at a saved page from feb 2 and it was 162. - noticed it because loss of "Preferred" status. I guess a reversion to a prior data set. No big deal, but had me questioning my sanity for a moment. :)

[Brett_Tabke]

Yes, everyone thought it was time to slowly raise the bar a little bit again.

[ergophobe]

I suppose as a mere junior member, I shouldn't make a fluff post to bump up my count ;), but this discussion reminds me of a discussion I once heard between a distressed student and a professor.

Student: I don't understand how I got a D in your class.
Professor: The grade is based 50% on participation.
Student: But I often said things in class.
Prof: Yes, but not a single one of them was interesting.

Ouch!
