Guess what? I have 30. But I am still one of the oldest. I just haven't been on lately.

No, it defidently said "Does not look in thread, feels self-rightous about it" right under his name.  The mods will confirm it.  I am not insane.

yeah, S-U-P-E-R strikes again, he did something similar to agentseven before he was banned, funnily enough it was 'really really close to being banned' made me chuckle, and then want my own one :\ STOP REWARDING BAD BEHAVIOUR AND GIVE US SOME!

Recent events here almost makes me ashamed to have helped out PGC.

I made the list?  Well look at me, moving on up!

I'm on another message board, and under your name, they put a little phrase based on a certain song of this particular artist.  The newbies start off with something real obscure, and the real old time posters get a phrase with the hugest song or album made by that artist.  This way, you never know how many posts, and some of the newbies get some real cool phrases, so theres no contest or bashing.

Example:  
                The_Omen
         Yellow caped Mario
               
               Mouse-clicker
               Zora suit Link
 
                 ThePerm
             Varia suit Samus( sorry, i know samus is a she, but the character is what i'm going for)

                  Newbie
                Bob-bomb

And this can go with any characters in all the Nintendo games, so you'll virtually have thousands of choices.  Maybe if the mods set their own parameters for when you reach a new level, then we wont know what it takes to move up.
Come on people, with some fine tuning, it can work!

I didn't make the list, crapmonkeys. Well, even though I haven't been on in awhile (less than 150 posts) I was here to see these forums hit 112 users, so .
<maturity>
Anyway, I'm glad post counts aren't public, but I do wish there was some sign of seniority, like 1st gen, 2nd gen, etc. Or maybe a good idea, as opposed to mine. I'll shut up now.

I think we should have experience bars under are name, and level.

For posts, your experience goes up, and eventually your level.

Like they do in giveupalready.com/ that sort of idea.

That would be cool!

Yes, I can accept that, but what about rewards for people who have given financial contributions to PGC?  I want my custom title!

Well someone does! *looks at PIACs irregular title*
And a reward system like experience still has the ability to be abused.
What about a voting system, where people choose others (cannot vote for themselves) like the PGC Awards idea, and moderators select five or so and everyone who wants to can *cough*POLL*cough* and the top one or two gets to change their title.
It could be weekly, monthly, whatever. But I haven't seen it mentioned yet so I thought it could be useful!

At this point I don't really care anymore.  I can tell just fine who is a smart poster and who needs to think more just by looking at their posts.  Takes a tad longer, but I have been to too many other forums (the overclockers.com forum imparticular) where the guys with the higher post counts intentionally don't post the answer to a solution so they can come back later and give the answer in other posts.  Just makes a bunch of spam.
