i decided i'd take my time and try to be friendly and insightfull here, and i stayed up all night sorting my thoughts and posting, and i got the titled status, but i still don't have full access to the board. i don't actually care all that much, and i read another thread about how it takes a while for all your posts to be reviewed sometimes, but i just got sort of nervous about it because i wasnt sure if i was being reprhimanded because my comments sounded insencere, or something.

welcome!!! just sit back and relax and have a good time!!! There is lots to do here.

What is that picture you have in your profile....I really like it.

maleficent · 03-10-2005, 10:57 AM

You've got over 50 posts in a 24 hour period. Pace yourself. You'll burn yourself out in a week at that pace.

Your status will be upgraded and you will have full access to the boards when the time is right, there's no post count that will get you there.

ah his name is Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and he was an artist/poet in the victorian era who was born and died in england. when his wife passed away, he threw the poems he was working on into her casket, and then later decided he wanted them back and dug her grave back up to get them with his friends. in an attempt to make him feel better, his friends told him "she looked well".

Not to be a killjoy or anything, but I think the fact that you've written 61 posts in 1 day with the stated intent of becoming a full member, in addition to the fact that half of the posts are something to the effect of "I like it," I'm not so sure you'll be getting that status any time soon. The point of the tiered system is that people who have proven themselves to be thoughtful, respectful, and a good addition to the community (how'd I ever get here, anyway?) are given greater benefits. It's not to reward everyone who can type a lot.

If you're worried that you're being reprimanded, you're not. My point is that simply posting a lot won't get you anywhere. I'm glad you like it here, and I hope you stick around.

Yeah, kitsune, I nearly had a heart attack when I looked at two of your posts last night . One solid block of text that filled half the page!?

I want to read your posts, but it would be easier on the eyes if you used a paragraph break.

Red dot? Is that something that only Rookies see? I tried every theme, and didn't see a red dot assocated with any of them.

Glory's Sun · 03-11-2005, 07:02 AM

I don't think I've ever seen a red dot either..

thatoneguy · 03-11-2005, 07:38 AM

Whew, I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't ever see any "red dot," I thought I was missing something...

The red dot is an indication of invisible but online. And a quick review of the Member account does send a few flags up......Likely it will delay your full membership, Rather than expediate it. But only time will tell.
