Takes a little longer to get your award status, but worth it Agree! I was happy I made it to Pulitzer, but the 'chase' was gone. Now I have something to work towards and I like it! Seemed a bit more logical (and dignified!) to me... Totally understand. Hmmm, the new ones are sooo cute  <b>  you want the good names.
I've converted to lurk-ism... hopefully only temporary.

Darn! I lost my Merriwether too . . . But I guess Top Banana is okay.

Hack from Nowheresville?! *shakes fist at title*
I resent that! Darn it, now I'm going to jump into the "raising my post number" bandwagon.
Grrr.

While I'm enjoying all of the new levels, I'm really confused. The number of posts don't seem to be adding up to the break down of them on the faq. With my 484 I should be a Columnist shouldn't I? And a lot of other people's levels don't add up. Am I missing something?
Now that I'm back from spring break, I better get on posting because I've got a ways to go now!

Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo."
Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?

Darn, I lost my Kerth and Pulizter, too. Did anybody say why we changed things?
Minimunch3, I don't think the faq's have caught up with what is now being used. See Wendy's post (the fourth one down) on the 2nd page.

You'll find the answer to your question earlier in this thread, Nancy. They were changed because Woody suggested new titles and Karen, and others since, suggested what those titles might be. LabRat

WHAT? I'm a Hack from Nowheresville?! I darn well am not! I may possibly be a hack from Rightheresville , but definitely not Nowheresville ! This is an offense against my countrymen! I demand to be promoted immediately! I shall complain to the UN and erect trade bans against you! See how good life is without Nike shoes and Dilmah tea, why won't you?!  How can you weild such temptation in the face of such an innocent as me?  It's a sin, I tell you! Sin! Hasini, (who obviously needs a shot with a tranquilizer gun this morning)

How about changing the increments between statuses so that they're all equal except for the first and last 3? Maybe like 0, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000?
That way, the newbies won't have to work TOO hard to get to their first two status marks, and the oldies will still have a challenge to get to the Merriwether, Kerth and Pulitzer while not losing hope that they'll ever get there.

Hasini,
(who obviously needs a shot with a tranquilizer gun this morning) omg! that was too funny.  freelancers are below hacks from nowheresville? well im not complaining i like being from nowheresville we have very attractive guys with glasses over there. I love this forum. Where alse would a question about member status ignite so much disscussion and the admins like us so much that they would change names so many times. (i lost count how many has it been?)

Could someone post the most updated version of the titles? The FAQ show a list that doesn't match what I am seeing under the avatars. This is what is shown in FAQ: Posts Title 0 Blogger 50 Freelance Reporter 100 Beat Reporter 300 Columnist 500 Features Writer 750 Front-Page Journalist 1000 Merriwether 1500 Kerth 2500 Pulitzer 5000 Nobel Peace Prize Winner malu EDIT: OK, from the Directory, I can find what are the titles available (but not the number of posts required). Here they are, with the values in front to my guesses of minimum posts: Blogger - 0 (interesting: there are about 1326 out of a total of 2036 users lurking out there with 0 posts ) Freelance Reporter - 50 Hack from Nowheresville - 100 Beat Reporter - 300 Columnist - 500 Features Writer - 750 Top Banana - 1000 Merriwether - 1500 Kerth - 2000 Pulitzer - 2500 or 3000? (We have only one Pulitzer with 3750) Nobel Peace Prize Winner - have no idea (nobody in this level) and the restricted: Section Editor Editor in Chief

I think freelancers are lower because Clark was a freelancer before Lois called him a Hack from Nowheresville. And where did the "Nobel Peace Prize Winner" status come from?!?

Probably from the "The Longest Road"'s second story, by Rac (it's a Trilogy; the third story is currently under work)? We know that Lois/Ultrawoman got a Nobel Peace prize in that story. malu

I don't think I've read The Longest Road. I meant, when was that particular title included in the status discussions? I don't remember seeing it before you included it in your count things.

Someone other than Labrat, that is...
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
