Site veteran

Have you got to be over a certain age to become a 'site veteran'?

No Karl, keep posting and you'll join all us veterans before long

Karl

, you will soon realise when you turn a veteran . You got to be over 99 years old .

Just kidding . I think its either based on the number of posts you have participated with or might even be the amount of time that you have been around.

All I know is mine turned from new member to veteran without me noticing it. And I only have been here since December

after 60 or 50 posts I believe

It doesn't get anymore exciting once you are there though ...

Actually, it happens when you pass 30 posts, which in my opinion is ridicilously low. I believe the medal colour changes to gold at the same time.

Although I'm quite honoured to be in the same league as well established people with thousands of posts, it would make more sense if we were labelled as New Members up to, say, 100 posts, then became Loyal Members up to 1000 posts, and therafter be Site Veterans (followed with bronze, silver and gold medals at the same intervals).

(Oops, a looong sentence, but it seems okay somehow).

I agree with you and I've made a suggestion, so we'll see if it's taken up.

I had to take a breath while reading it so no, it doesn't seem ok.

Glad you caught your breath, Mike. Sorry, but it's too late in the evening to be creative - after all we are an hour before you .

Thank you, John. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Good night, all.

Sounds very sensible !
I do not feel myself a Veteran at all. I start feeling, that I am a member
This is good feeling, by the way

Maybe there should be sm number for posted photos as well - before You´ll be honored with coloured medals ?

Perhaps extending the titles would be preferable?

0-50 New Member
50-100 Site Veteran
100-500 Site Sensei
500-1000 Ubermeister
1000-5000 Venerable Knight of the Order of the Bokeh
5000+ Grand Fromage

My own take on this would be.After 5000 posts we should be awarded a Special Pentax User Diploma,otherwise known as the order of the SPUD Tony.

I agree the number of posts required to reach 'Site Veteran' seems much too low to me. I would have thought at least 500 or perhaps a 1000 posts might be more appropriate.

So you 'site veterans' don't all have a bus pass yet then?

actually, I have a fairly quick motorcycle.
According to Einstien's theory, the faster an object moves towards the speed of light, the slower time goes...
so I keep holding the throttle wide open, hoping to live longer...

So give me my veterans pension, and get the @#$%!!! outa my way!
