Thanks much, MB!   Must find way to celebrate despite apartment being devoid of celebratory materials....

Thanks much also, Midnite, Sally, Josette... it hit me that celebratory substances were to be had if I walked a couple miles, and I had five beers at the local hot spot.   I heard the first karaoke performance that I actually liked.  

The names for these rungs on the DS Forums ladder might be a cruel joke.   One moment I feel as if I have achieved the ultimate level that any human can achieve, then I realize that "full ascendancy" is still only one of a great many rungs.   How very cruel to lead me to believe that I was omnipotent, or at least so cool that others would faint in my presence.   Yes, I truly believe that pthers must fuel my crazy-ass ego, or be judged.

Thanks.  I just typed two paragraphs I worked long and hard on, and they just got obliterated for no reason.

Hey... it turned out that the partial post posted, all by itself.

Nothing posts by itself. You must have accidentally typed alt+s. It happens.  [ghost_wink]  Though you should have been able to edit/finish the post after it went through.  [ghost_smiley]

 [ghost_grin]  But it's never been kept a secret that there are many rungs after reaching DSF God. That particular level is but one step on the greater journey which will still have many twists and turns. I've posted as much many times - particularly whenever someone reaches DSF God. And one need only look at any of my posts to see that FULL ASCENDANT isn't the ultimate rung on the forum's ladder because I'd already moved past that quite a while ago. And I've still got a wase to go before reaching the next level after SENIOR ASCENDANT.  [ghost_wink]

Congrats my friend Magnus!  I hope to achieve what you have some day.  Right now I am eyeing the GOD position!

Is there someplace where we can see all the rungs of the ladder? How many posts make you a Newbie, Junior Poster, Senior Poster, and then the next level, etc., etc., etc.? I would really like to know. [ghost_wink]

I'll provide MB's response when asked a question similar to Sally's on the Testing 1, 2, 3 board...

Looking it over, seeing if it's right for you?   Deciding if you want to commute, or actually live in Valhalla?

Thanks Travis, Annie.   And yes, it is more fun being surprised...

Congrats! Didn't know there was anything higher than God! I won't faint at your feet, but will a salute do?  [ghost_wink]

Yes, that's right, it is better to be surprised! [ghost_shocked] Well then... How about a list of all the levels, without revealing how many posts it takes to reach them? [ghost_huh] That would be nice to know. [ghost_wink]

Congrats Magnus..I have along way to go yet but I know its do-able..Now if I can only be a consistent poster. Maybe something to do in the next 5 years.  I don't know.. its amazing the number of posts you have posted. Plus you are always well read so to speak in your posts.  I always find them insightful. Congratulations!!    [ghost_smiley]

You can get that from the Members List.  Of course, if a level hasn't been reached yet, it's not going to be there.  :D

And if it hasn't been reached yet, it should remain a surprise until it has.  [ghost_wink]

Congratulations, Magnus.  You can make me faint at your feet any time you want.  All you have to do is start telling a particularly bloody story.

Belated Congrats Magnus.  Just got back late yesterday from after Fest trip, and am only now getting enough brain cells back to post.

FYI if it's ANY consolation at all, judging by the date you got your PROMOTION, you had a whole Fest full of people celbrating in your honor at the banquet.
