Well, not being a newbie anymore is cool but as Rich maybe remembers 'we dutchies' *grins* HATE to be called 'fans' as here in Holland (same as the rest of the world prob.) people have very negative thoughts about fans: screaming, crying, obsessive and all that... And Im not like that! Neither are my friends... Never will and never be! So being called 'a fan' doesnt make me happy really. In Holland we have 'fans' and 'followers'. I prefer the last one ofcourse x sab

Besides, being classed as a follower in the Uk for example is more likely to make people think of restraining orders and stalkers than people who scream at their fave star. lol.

Being called a follower in the USA and the UK isn't a thing you want to be. It means you're not really a fan, you just kinda follow famous people around (especially music groups) trying to meet them for a thrill and bragging rights. A stalker is even worse.
I'm sorry FAN has a bad connotation in Holland but it's the normal term most other places for a person who likes and supports someone famous.
If anyone can think of some new non-cheesy/gag-attack names for our members at each level (there are 5 levels), then by all means, suggest them. We're willing to change!

It seems to me the levels go by how many posts you make. that hardly seems fair as I have been a member since day 1. Just because I dont spam doesnt mean I should be branded a newbie for the rest of my life.
Some members just like to read without necessarily commenting.
A lost of people post for the sake of posting without really having anything to say. Should they be rewarded for it?
ps.. I dont like "fan" either, here in oz "follower" means "supporter" I'll have a think about some non-daggy names too. But what are all the existing ones?

Hey, we realise that not all of Ritchie's fans will post here. That's up to you, and personally, I don't find it very important. It's just a name afterall...
And I don't like the insinuation that I'm 'spamming' because I post here a lot. I have things to say, I like talking to people and I don't just post for the sake of it. A lot of people on here just say things like: I agree. - And that's the end of their post!
Scorpion and I are the top posters on this board and we never do things like that.
Also, I live in Australia too. I don't find fan offensive, and it's not a dirogatry term here. I don't like follower because I agree with the WM, it sounds like you follow famous people around.
Up to 100 posts: Newbie 100 to 250: Fan 250 - ?: Star Fan ? ?
Peace, Rotae
