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 I never said "fan" was a nasty word here, I just find it cheezy. We are all entitled to our opinions. And as for the spamming thing.. I never insinuated anything. If you have a lot of posts thats fine. but a lot of people DO post for the sake of posting. Note that I also didnt say there was anything wrong with that. I havnt pointed the finger at anyone and Im offended that you automatically assumed I was trashing you or anyone else personally.. I was simply pointing out that the newbie status personally makes me feel like Im somehow less of a fan coz I dont post a lot. People see "newbie" and automatically think you are wet behind the ears.

Thx Rotae for pointing out that we are NOT spammers before anyone would think so. (I mean not Foxy) I only post something if I feel I must say something about it and add my own opinion. I try to make less and less 1 lined posts anyway and not because of what you said now. (OK there are still some stupid ones of mine I have to admit, e.g my latest in the Random thoughts thread lol) I don't think there are many "spammers" here anyway, I haven't noticed anyone posting stupid things just to get more posts, and I don't find any point in this kind of thing at all as there is no price or something if you have lots of posts you know. I personally don't think anything bad or good when I'm looking at the stars people have. I make my judgement on the person when I'm reading his/her post not when i see his/her name/stars/ location. However I usually don't even make any judgements on people and I only care about the points in the post. I personally didn't mind being a Newbie nor a Fan because I simply didn't care. OK Star Fan sounds a lot better but I still can't care about my ranking, nor about the others'. I know what does it feel like when you don't post a lot because you like to read more. When you post maybe people simply don't care about you, or you get a rude PM asking why the hell don't you post? Are u a fan really or why are you here at all then? It happened with me too on other boards. duh this got a bit too long eh

I don't think they're all that important, they're just titles on a message board after all. It doesn't make someone more or less important than anyone else, and if anyone thinks that it does... well then they're just being ignorant or childish in my opinion. Quality instead of quantity and all that... All boards have these kind of things anyway, it's like this everywhere as far as I can see. 'Tis the way of the net, not really a big deal.

I'm sorry for getting offended Foxy... I guess I took it a bit personally. Too personally. I'm sorry. Please try and forgive my ignorance to a bigger problem than the one on this board. I'm only a member of one other board, so I don't really know much about it. I didn't even know what a Newbie was until I joined here!!
Peace, Rotae

However I've seen All star at too many other places. This moment I don't have the inspiration to create one like that myself 2.

Its just that I am a member of several boards and I dont always post a lot.
A couple of boards dont have "names" for each level but they do show your joining date and you are classed as a newbie or seasoned member by how long you have been a member.
But boards that do show you as a "newbie" often have people who think because you are classed as a newbie you must be new to the board and somehow know less than they do. I find it very offputting when people talk down to you in that way. Or even if their intentions are good and they are trying to "help" I havent seen any instances on this board so far but it happens everywhere.

Since this board can't show your join date, we can't do it that way but I agree NEWBIE may be insulting to long time members who just don't post a lot so I'll change it.

There's nothing wrong with being a fan... aren't you a fan?
No matter what names we use, kinda like no matter how Ritchie wears his hair, someone won't like it. So there's not much we can do unless there's a mass uprising about the names... which there hasn't been.
