Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Titles

Taking a look at the titles, it would appear that the Axiom powers that be didn't expect so many of us to become such insane regulars around here. Seems like a new criteria for titles is in order, no?

Everyone has a title within the forum. You will notice them below the Username in each post. Some titles are automatically assigned based on the number of posts a user has made, and some titles are assigned by the forum owner to denote official representatives of the company or other VIPs in the forums.
Here is the list of the standard titles and # of posts to achieve them:


0 newbie
5 regular
10 frequent flier
20 hobbiest
30 enthusiast
40 addict
60 old hand
100 veteran
200 local
300 addict

Here's my proposal...

0 newbie
25 regular
50 frequent flier
100 hobbiest
200 enthusiast
500 addict
750 old hand
1000 local
1500 veteran


What say thee good people?

Craig, agree that an expansion of the numbers brackets is in order. Never been able to figure out why the addictiveness is temporarily lost only to mysteriously return a few brackets later. That should be dropped and I'd think that "veteran" would be good for the last title.

btw...congrats on just breaking the 1000 posts mark!

Good edit. I kind of like the numbers. Gives me something to shoot for...

I think you all just need something else to look forward to in your posting count. Addict just isn't good enough for you anymore! I'm not even sure what I'm up to, but I'll get there eventually. Extra categories can't hurt...even if I do get to the top one I still don't feel like I post as much as some people around here.

I just checked since this came up...I've made it up to 264. I guess I am not that far away from the top ranking of 300. The idea will probaly get approved and the numbers will change just as I hit 299 :P

local should be 3rd to last and old hand should be 2nd to last
just my opinion

another thing-maybe its just me, but stereo and HT generate very similiar questoins. i know they are different but the questions are usually either receiver based or speaker baseed('what type of ---- should i get', 'how do i fix this -----' etc.

As long as we're making suggestions to change titles, how about we make this change, too:

hobbiest should be hobbyist

--------------------
"I'm hobbier than you!"
"No you're not! I'm the hobbiest person there is!

perhaps the titles should also be related to how long one has been an axiom owner. a two word post, agreeing with another's should not count either.

Yikes, that would require overhauling the titles system to count words rather than posts! Also, I see it creating a very bad trend around here. You don't really want people to forego brevity in favor of long-windedness for the sole purpose of upping their title, would you?

That would be a very very very very very great temptation for some forum members, I would think.
