Forum Newbies??? Topic

Maybe this has been brought up already and I missed it, but just in case......

How is it that when the new forums went online, the number of posts from the old forums were still shown with my profile and I was a Forum Hall-of-Famer, but now everyone has been reset to ZERO forum posts and demoted to Prospect status???

Did they cut our hours and benefits, too???

Just post your way to the hall of fame... Go create a thread, and hit reply endlessly.  You'll be HOF again in no time.

I mean how many times would I have to post?

I just clicked on "Users" -- the WIS leader in the posts category has 837 of them, and he's still a prospect.  So you've got a way to go.

As for the Top 20 Forum Users, I can't make heads or tails of it.  What the hell's it based on?  Not posts, since the #2 user hasn't made a post yet.  Not how many times you've been "favorited" either, since the #3 poster has been favorited once, and blocked 21 times.  In fact, everyone on the list has been blocked more than once.  I'd like to know how many people I've ticked off enough to earn permanent blockage.  Anyone know if there's a way to find out?

The #2 user isn't going to be making any posts.  Erffdogg died a month ago.  Most who made him a favorite probably did so in memoriam.  No doubt being made a favorite so many times is what has made erff a "Pro" on the forum rating despite not having any posts, so being made a favorite must be an important part of the forum rating equation.
