MEMBER STATUS, Advanced Member, new requirements
As The AOA Forums has voted to discontinue having posts made in our "For What It's Worth" Topic count toward a members total post count, I have made the following change:

Where as previously a 1000 post count was necessary to become an "Advanced Member" in our forums, in the interests of fairness, from here on out a 700 posts count will meet the number of posts requirement.

However we will be looking more carefully at post padding in topics other than FWIW When considering a member for "Advanced Membership"

FWIW will continue to be the proper place to expend ones post padding impulses as this no longer contributes to the posts needed for Advanced Member" consideration.

I'll be updating those who now qualify under our new 700 post rule.
Thank you.

Hey I wasn't complaining or anything, I'm not mithered really.
I was just joking that I probabally only have about 100 posts between the other forums
and I bet my count goes up very slowly, I'm not gonna start posting more often in the other forums just cos it don't add to the count in fwiw anymore, that really would be obvious post padding

Y'all are a bunch of post whores. Some of us are here for the love of the game. Not the advertising contracts, not the sweet 10-year, $100 million deals. We're here to play the game.

even tho I didn't take the time to express an opinion, I am sure
we(I) will survive without post counts here in FWIW. as for me
being technicall inclined, thats BS. I couldn't contribute to the
forums as much as I recieve. that doesn't mean I won't contribute
here. just that I will only make sure it is in the best interest of the
group. a little BS now and then is good for the soul. you are a good lot to hang out with. I see the results of your efforts to make AOA a popular and USER friendly place. FWIW is a great place to BS too


Some do, some don't, some will, some won't. I might.
