Dumb Question Regarding Members…

[Pipe&Chess]

Hello! Harley here, from Brazil. Reasonably new to the forum, starting to love it. My (dumb) question is about the member categories LOL. I tried to look it up in the forums (maybe not too diligently…) but could not find it. I am a “Lurker” - makes sense… what is/are the next category(ies)? Have seen “Staring to get obsessed”, “Lifer”, etc… - got curious. I imagine it is a combination of number of posts and time since joining the site? Any info someone could share?
Thanks for the attention…

User Title Ladder - Part II :: PipesMagazine.com

Here is another update with two changes. 1. The word "Addicted" is not the best choice here, so it has been changed to "Obsessed". 2. The "Lifer" title has been bumped up to 1,000 posts required, as 500 was felt to be too little for a 13 year old forum. New title ladder is shown below...

Thanks, much appreciated. “The ladder” then!

Gotta climb the ladder, or in the case of El Capitan Embers, the mast.

Thanks. And I agree with your “motto” - if tobacco & whiskey are not the solution, there is probably no solution Lol…

First off, WELCOME!

Well, these new names are funny and descriptive; but, I really missed when we had member who were: New, Standard, Preferred, High Exalted Grand Poobah of the Ancient and Mystic Bunion, titles that told others something about you!

In fact, my chest stuck out proudly on the day my member was publicly deemed and declared Preferred; but now, it's just Part of the Furniture.

Oh well. - Sherm Natman

Post count drives the world, so it seems.

Lol. I will be glad just by leaving the “Lurker” category. You won’t board your flight before anyone else - but you can look newbies with a superior smile. of course - they won’t see it - or care .

"Part of the furniture" was a new expression to me when I started lurking here. Now it suits me.

I keep wondering when I’m up for parole! I honestly don’t even notice the designations any more and am mildly amused when they seem to matter for some reason.

Haven’t been on here in real time very long myself.

Glad you asked this Question I was wondering myself.

 

[Doctor Chopper]

Welcome. I think I was better off not knowing how the titles were designated.

Welcome Lurker, I just moved up after 50 posts. All a bit silly but love the forum and there is so much wisdom to be gleamed from members. Enjoy.

Just try to get 300 posts in before breakfast, that takes the pressure off the middle of the day.

Second go with Edward G. Robinson. The pipe is from The Briary in Homewood, Alabama. It is a house brand pipe stamped simply, The Briary. I like EGR. I am smoking it straight from the tin. No drying time.

Hey from central North Carolina, U.S., and welcome aboard. Forums has members from all over the world, which is a real attribute. I can be provincial and cosmopolitan at the same time!
