Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler what is the Life cycle of an axiom forum member?

I started as a newbie, then became a frequent flier and now am a hobbiest.....what happens to me next?;)

aha, check this out you 'soon-to-be-enthusiast'

One is an addict at 40 and 300....wow, a member's life becomes a full circle at 300...

Thnx for the link....

We've proposed some changes to this system, but they've apparently gone un-noticed by the powers that be.

Though I'm guessing that making great speakers is more important work than fiddling with something as trivial as board member titles.

I think it's a pretty accurate naming convention really. I find that I got to 40 posts pretty easily...why? Because I was addicted to the wealth of information at that point.

My only suggestion would be to change "addict" after 300. I think at that point you've either got one of two things: "committed relationship" or "unhealthy obsession". If you make it to 300 posts, you're either not going anywhere because you're in love, or the Axiom crew will need to look into a restraining order.

I'm hoping to buy something...anything...before I get to 300 posts otherwise I'll be expecting my restraining order!

I think many of us felt that the titles should be spread out more. Getting to 300 shouldn't be the end. Many of us got to 300 a loooooooong time ago. Heck, when Sushi was around he could post 300 messages in a couple weeks! (Did anyone ever find out what happened to him?)

I've only been participating on the board for a week or so and haven't paid much attention to the naming convention. Since it was brought up, I noticed I'm now an "addict". That's a pretty apt description since I really look forward to checking in for the information and interplay and getting my "fix" several times during the day. I wonder if there is anything similar to a nicotine patch I could use?

The odd thing is that I see the double use of addict. Certainly not a reason to lose sleep, but at the 300 level, you might expect something like "stalker" or "mutant". Maybe even "Sushi".

On similar topic, I asked Amie about the possibility of adding a "Site Map" to help with navigation and make the full information set more easily available. She agreed to look at that.

There are indeed a great many hidden pages on the Axiom site. It would be nice to see all of them.

funny you mention sushi. I thought about him yesterday when I got may plasma set up. if it wasn't for his suggestion on AVS, I NEVER would've heard of Axioms or HSU nor would've I been able to get my Pio 45TX at a great price. Much props to him where ever he's at.

I confess. I flew out to Dallas and locked him in his own attic with enough food and water for a year. Why, you might ask? It's the only way I could have achieved the rank of top poster.

If you ask my wife, my title would be "unhealthily obsessed." I told her to check me in to a mental institution if I ever start keeping a laptop (loaded to the Who's Online page) in bed with me.

I agree with this completely. As an IIS webmaster/administrator, there are definate improvements that could be made.

It's not bad as it is, and it's not a unique problem. The hardest thing for most websites is layout. Most places start with the front page..then grow off of there. It takes a while to get a full scope of what you're really going to offer. Until then it's hard to layout the architecture.

Perhaps Amie would like some help

Unless of course they're unix

At least he is "chatting" elsewhere ...

Craig, as to sushi, he was the featured speaker at a seminar in San Diego last week on eating, sleeping and neuropeptides. Again, although I'm curious, I won't intrude by making personal contact.

With a profile and career position like sushi has (and has to maintain), i'm not at all surprised he has not posted on the forums.
Travelling is exhausting. Conferences are exhausting. Posting on these forums sucks time like the baby to the nipple or the milk vacuum on the cow.

I would have loved to attended one of his talks though. His research is fascinating.

During questions and answers periods would you dare ask "Dr. Yanagisawa can you possibly give a personal opinion on the affects of Axioms on the Neuropeptides and why Kimber cable will make you a believer?"

The look on his face after hearing that question would be priceless. I think he'd sic his pocket mouse on you.

Where is he talking next?

OMG that would be sooo good hehe

Sat, after reading your post, he's directed that the information not be available on Google until an hour before the scheduled start.

I got 3 chances in the next couple of months....

You on the other hand Jonhk is a little more elusive...any other hints Mr. taxman with M22's?

Saturn

Sat, did Kimber sell you a time-travel machine, besides ripping you off on those cables?

maybe ....
Did Axiom pay you to say that your M22 has a flat frequency like the rest of the Axiom line therefore are better than the likes of speakers like Wilson Audio Watt Puppies, Magneplaners, Martin Logan and Revel?

Sat, look at your first link.

I noticed the same thing. Saturn did say 3 chances, so he must know something about the laws of physics that we do not.

Now I feel stupid.

See what cut and paste does to you.
