I''m Tired of Being a Member

I started off as a New Member -- and so I was.

Then I became a Cool New Member -- and, hey, man, I was! Good call! I felt like this was an honorific.

Now I am just a Member. That sucks. Boring, boring, boring...

Senior Member is at 250 posts, and I am at 130 posts. I will never get to 250. And the dream of being at the level of DVDTalk Special Edition is just that -- 1,000 posts is a lifetime away.

Gloom, gloom.

Hey, is there some Admin tool that can automatically bump up my status to "Senior Member?" Or maybe just give me a different title than "Member"... I was thinking something along the lines of, say, "Dude".

<B>Users Awaiting Penitration</B>?!?!? Whoa. Obviously, Geoff wasn't in on the spelling of that category.

I could think of a title, but it would start with a T. I guess the location would have to be changed also. Something like 'Under a bridge near you'

My question is...how exactly does a Moderator go about becoming a Super Moderator? Do they have a Clark Kent/Superman-type dynamic where they are mild-mannered Moderator until something big happens, then they have to change into Super Moderator? And do they get outfits with that title as well?

Just wondering

The moderator has to be able to negotiate the moderator obstacle course in under 5 minutes to get "Super" status. I tried several times while a Mod but always got tripped up at the "chug 4 beers" station.

I hate how Geoff put that one right before the "baseball bat spin" station. Frickin' sadist. That was my favorite pair of jeans.

So just an update -- I did finally get enough posts to make it to the rank of Senior Member.

I actually just created 249 new threads about maple syrup and Sylvester Stallone, but I'm glad to finally be rid of that hideous plain ol' "member" status.

Now I think I'll start stumping every forum like BigDaddy, looking for my own custom handle...
