Just a couple of months ago...after I posted in another thread...they backed away..

Do I smell or something?

ps: unfortunately animated GIfs don't support sound...unless I'm wrong.

no, they don't (thank god...)

You'd have to embed a sound in your forum signature. Luckily, html code is disabled.

Since a forum goer hits xx number of posts, my title has been 'addict'.
I am against the rather negative, drug-user connotation that this portrays and am in favour of having the title changed to something a little more hoitey toitey.

Does anyone have better ideas for user titles?
I know spiff brought this up recently (although just for a reorganization of the titles) and Amie brought this up quite some time ago as there are 2 'addict' lisitings on the chart anyway. Maybe the idea should be revisited again.

Suggestions for a list of names?
We can start a poll if we get enough then barrage Amie with emails in protest.
Ok, maybe not barrage, but we could PM her en masse.
Nah, that might bring down the Axiom server. Well we could...ah, someone else come up with an idea here.

From the list of the following, i say Axiom should lose the first addict title altogether and change the last addict to something more appropriate.
0 newbie
5 regular
10 frequent flier
20 hobbiest
30 enthusiast
40 addict (LOSE THIS CATEGORY ENTIRELY)
60 old hand
100 veteran
200 local (LOSE THIS ONE TOO)
300 addict (CHANGE TO SOMETHING ELSE...how about Afficionado? or even Audiophile? or maybe Axiomophile?)

Quick poll:


Gee i hope that poll naming wasn't too biased.

For those in favour of having the Axiom Forum user titles changed, vote yes

Would it be easier to just get rid of the titles and show the actual number of posts?

On this same topic...isn't it correctly spelled: HOBBYIST ?

This is a hobby that all of us enjoy...and derive pleasure from participating in....

I voted yes, and I still maintain that the 'hobbiest' title should be corrected.

Yes, chess, but "audiophile" has an even worse connotation than "addict".

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
