just a thought, since we have a buncha INSANE posters here (yes yes, people crazier than me) i think we should have a special area or some junk like when you get 500 posts or something, you get access to the hive mind, full of all the knowledge of the universe? hmmm or maybe access to Alien's backyard? i dunno poopy
You really are insane. . It isn't a bad idea.. Once reaching a certain amount of posts, having some sort of ability to do *something*. You're the insane one, think of something not too difficult that I can do. . ------------------ Alien - Administrator / Owner ["Everything was true. God was an alien. Oz really is over the rainbow. ...and Midian is where the monsters live." -Nightbreed]
access to the uhm...super duper member lounge...where members can..uh...buy drinks? uhm this is hard chat applet? hmmmmmm well, im outta fresh ideas. whats wrong with the access to the hive thingy full of infinite knowledge?
so, like, if we obtain access to the hive "thingy," do we then become (so to speak) fountains spewing forth with boundless knowledge? oh, and i'd like to add myself to the list of insane posters and i'm damn proud ... ------------------ "it's easier to stay out than get out"
Maybe access to a private forum, like Admins and Moderators or M00? Battle.net has something like that in Diablo and D2, where you have to be a certain class or a certain level to enter some of their chat channels. ------------------ From another BBS: "hmm... Cyrix III, huh? You can put syrup on sh*t, but that don't make it pancakes."
I'm getting awfully close. What do I get? What do I get? My mama always told me I was special. My teachers too! . ------------------ From another BBS: "hmm... Cyrix III, huh? You can put syrup on sh*t, but that don't make it pancakes."
I think you should be able to pick the crackers that go with the soup... . ------------------ Scotty, the native aliens here ARE friendly...
pffft... Dan.. i don't even know the passwords for Admins and Moderators or M00... and looking at the number of posts to those forums.. it doesn't look too exciting in there
That's the point. The reason those forums have no activity is because not that many people have access to them. The more people get the priviledge of access to certain "restricted" forums, the more activity the "restricted" forums will see, hence the more interesting they become. Think of them as a "newbie-free haven" for those users who have shown a willingness to help build this BBS, and stived to make a substantial contribution to the success of the BBS. Hey, it's just an idea. ------------------ From another BBS: "hmm... Cyrix III, huh? You can put syrup on sh*t, but that don't make it pancakes."
but dan we don't want all the interesting conversation to be in a restricted channel. if we do.. all the people w/o access will be bored w/ this forum and leave... think the restricted rooms are for alien to give us mods instructions or other crap like that.. i do see your point about a newbie-free zone, but that takes your interesting posts away from the people in between newbie and "the guys that reached 500" posts... there is the option of telling them the irc channel we idle at... but that seems more like a punishment rather than a reward...
It was just a suggestion. What kind of reward system do you have in mind? ------------------ From another BBS: "hmm... Cyrix III, huh? You can put syrup on sh*t, but that don't make it pancakes."

dunno.. maybe make it so that people that hasn't posted 500 messages can view all the messages in the room but can't post anything? dunno.. or Alien can give out free Geforce2's .
So DD, are the private forums everything you thought they would be??? Just curious. A Pee-on (meant that spelling) . ---------------------------- Scotty, the native aliens here ARE friendly...
I wouldn't know. They won't let me in yet. . ---------------------------- I am Jack's raging inner child. Without me, Jack has to deal with the pitfalls of reality.
