You'll be a GOD in no time!     Congratulations!  

[Lydia]

Congratulations!

[Alondra]

That's wonderful and I hope to be there someday myself. Now could someone give me the number of posts it takes to arrive at each level? I seem to have become a junior poster after 25 posts, and next level is full poster, then senior poster, then god?

Actually, it's much more fun if you're surprised when you reach a new membergroup.

Don't worry about it Alondra, you're GOD material!  Ya just have to post ALOT !!! AND have fun, of course.

Don't worry about it Alondra, you're GOD material!  Ya just have to post ALOT !!! AND have fun, of course.

Oh, all members are "God material."  Though, as MB reminded...

...you can certainly make it - but just so long as there's no fluffing invloved.    We don't look kindly on fluffing:

I talked about fluffing a while back, and MB and I will eventually be coming up with a guideline that will address it (TIME???  We don't need no stinkin' time! ), but that's only because we feel we've been backed into a corner, and this is a separate issue from the posting limit and one that you as well as most posters shouldn't have to worry about.  Fluffing is easy to spot, and any cousin guilty of the practice knows that they're doing it.

I guess I should define it again, especially since it's a term with multiple meanings outside of internet posting boards.  Fluffing occurs when members attempt to inflate their post totals in order to gain a more prestigious title on the forums.  We're not attempting to judge the content of messages; if a poster wants to merely post "LOL" or a smiley because that's how they want to express themselves at that time, then by all means they should do it.  What makes a message problematic is its intent-- if the poster is clicking submit with the purpose of upping their own total, they're fluffing.  This doesn't enhance the board, it does waste bandwidth as well as the time of everyone that reads these posts, and it ticks off the moderator.

I hope I didn't confuse anyone!  And I didn't mean to come across like I'm lecturing, or that I'm only addressing one person.  (Cheesy)

So MB, what happens when you reach 5200 posts?   Looks like you're about to find out....(5199 as of now)  That's twice 2600... Doppelgod?

I was shown the film "Beerfest" last night and was introduced to the concept of "frog fluffing".   I guess this would be something different.

That's wonderful and I hope to be there someday myself.
