Just messing around here on the site, and realized that somehow I'd been promoted from "Hack From Nowheresville" up to "Beat Reporter".

How does that happen? Is it based on number of posts? Stories published (because I've had only one in this fandom)?

Or is it a giant secret?

Indeed, the number of posts reflects your user title. It goes like this:

0 Blogger
50 Freelance Reporter
100 Hack from Nowheresville
300 Beat Reporter
500 Columnist
750 Features Writer
1000 Top Banana
1500 Merriwether
2000 Kerth
2500 Pulitzer
5000 Nobel Peace Prize Winner

Taken from our lovely faq . I hope that information helps.

/tells self/ Read the FAQ's! Read the FAQ's! The answer is probably there!

Thanks.

*lol* Nobel Peace Prize Winner? That's a nice one.

Yeah, pretty cool! I wonder if any one on this MB has it

5000 posts *are* 5000 posts... :rolleyes:

Carolyn

What, no "God of all" ?

Artemis

Ann/TOC is closing in on 5000...

That is because she leaves FDK on just about everything and is has an opinion on just about everything under the sun .

James, who just realized that CarolM is really close to catching up with me !!!

Me!

Although, I have cheated somewhat as updating TOCs each week sure bumps up that post count.

/makes new goal catching up with James.../

Well, if Nan would write more Terran Underground, I'd have more posts!

James

/whispers/
Posting ES#3 increases post count by 1

Michael

Actually it would be two since I start my own FDK threads.

Of course, James also lets Elisabeth use his login from time to time...

LOL that is so cool - certainly gives us bottom feeders something to aim for.

is there any way to find out how many youve done without havving to find and count them all as i have neither the time nor the patience for that!

sammie: Read the bottom of your last post. It says 166.

Artemis

oh yeh ive never noticed that. i feel dumb now.

And I sure hope it's not the last, because your story (and your writing) rocked.

Hmm... I wonder how many posts this one will put me up to?

Yeah, I knew I wasn't even close to the Nobel Peace Prize Winner. I better get busy.

Seconded.

(Now get to work!)

Thanks for the kind words, Female Hawk and Classicalla.

Right now I'm stuck on a "Smallville" fic and I can't seem to work on two at once. But I'm plugging away steadily and one day I may actually finish the one I'm working on.

Keep on nagging. Thanks.

Would like to point out to James that I've now passed him even though Elisabeth has used his login a few times .

Carol [who fully acknowledges that James has probably used Elisabeth's a few times]
