Actually I think it's based on how many times a day or how many times a week you visit that he bases it on. I've been a member for quite awhile and now I'm an addict, I don't post alot but I do spend WAY to much time on here.

Sounds like he got far too much time on his hands to go round renaming people ,oooooooooooooooooops i feel a newbie coming on..............Marq
p.s prob because im a limey...........Marq
Yeah we were bitching on another thread, well, cause we didn't have anything else to do. And low and behold Ryan wanted us to shut up. Hey at least he didn't change me to "whiner", though I still want "idiot savant"

I've never paid much attention to my "standing". It says I'm a Veteran.....cool, I guess that means you have to salute me. Can I apply for a GI loan?

All titles have changed and will be consistent from here on out.
I'm amazed about how much people care about what it says under their name. Nuts.
I got a new one too. Actually I don't know when I got it because I'm old and I might have got it a while ago and just forgot... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I've been a "member" for a 'lil while I guess-
And last night I noticed it said "battle tested"...
Thought that was pretty cool
(better than germ's "rank" anyway, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
But, if it still said "newbie" or "stranger" I don't see WHY I'd care that much...?

No the title shouldnt be a big deal, I agree. BUT if you state that its gonna work this way, as it does in the FAQ's then it should work that way. So if were gonna use them then let it be right and consistant or delete them all together.

Well, this is the second go-round for me as a junior member, which is O.K., I guess.
For I while there, I was an enthusiast, which I always thought sounded a little swish*, for a car guy. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
*Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Well you guys are right it shouldn't be a big deal. I was proud of my member status. I'm proud to be associated with the HAMB in any way. It used to be a sweet little secret, and now it is getting "famous" being mentioned in mainstream magazines and such. It still rocks.

Just glad this place is here for the knowledge I've gained.

Doesn't matter to me I thought they were automatic at first, then I figured it out (I think), now I just watch to see when they change. I'm easily entertained I guess.
Actually addict is as descriptive as PknBner. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I have been known to do things to excess. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

hey germ,what about zebra print?.....your killin me sir. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifas long as im learnin stuff,and laughin from time to time,i'm a happy guy.
in the last two years i've partied with hambers at the HCP, b'ville, the hamb drags; scored parts; given away parts; met a lot of really cool guys/gals; tried to help when folks were in trouble or had been struck by disaster; "wasted" hundreds of hours at a keyboard; but best of all i've LEARNED.
i wouldn't have done any of these things without the hamb.
i just checked and i'm now an addict. that's ok by me. i really don't care what you call me just don't call me late for dinner.
i couldn't care less what i'm/you're called. i don't care if you have 2 posts/year or 20/day. if i can help you great. if you can help me great. the hamb is the most valuable learning tool about rods that i've ever found. i appreciate each and every one of you; regardless of what your honorary title is.
For those of you that have a problem with the new titles - kiss my ass... the door is over there. Can't wait to see ya leave.
For the rest of ya, sorry... I had a scripting error last night while I tried to change everyone's titles just to make them consistent. It fucked some stuff up that I am not totally sure how to fix. Whatever... I got better things to be doing at this point than worrying about if the FAQ is consistent or not...

Well I never had a problem woth the old titles or the new titles.
And I did mention in a previous post that Ryan had better things to do.
But instead of trying to figure out what my title will be, I just went ahead and changed my User name to FNG and when it changes in the future I'll change my user name to match. I think thats cool. Thanks
