That's where I'm at, though I've been registered here for awhile. I didn't even know there were hidden forums until I contributed, and I don't really post here [or in any message boards] that often.
I simply did it to support the site and help out in the way that I could. I'd have been complacent without the title under my name, but I'm happy that there's no highlighting of names to those who contributed. ... I don't like it when sites do that.
I thought you became a Demi from getting a huge post count...and then people like Silent Panda who are contributers gave money?

As Peyton said, once you contribute you can choose to be either a Demi-God, Demi-Goddess or Contributor. Being a Demi has nothing to do with post count - higher posts counts lead to more advanced processors as rankings.
Nope... the only thing more posts will get you is a way cool number like mine.Felldownthewell said:
I though about contributing a while back, but decided to wait a bit. Get to know everyone first, names will pop up all the time, iGary posts a ton of stuff and has a kick ass mac, ~Shard~ is apparently a supper hot canadian with a few fans in Chicago (i think) , once you know this then decide if you want to contribute.
, once you know this then decide if you want to contribute.
I'd be a contributor if I knew how to give, but unfortunately my generosity gland was abducted at birth.
I was a registered user for 3 years (and a lurker for at least a year before that) before I contributed. Don't feel the need to rush it.
I've been pondering demi-ness for a while.
Mainly, I just want an 'ickle avatar. But I don't want to cheat my way into avatarness by throwing money at it. I want to earn it with my post count.
... then again, I do want to give MR some cash. Now, I know I could just pay the contribution and not set up an avatar until the magic 500th post. But I don't think my self-discipline will let me do that.
I think I'll stick to my plan. Post until I hit 500, then contribute, then get myself avatar'd up.

Contributing does not mean you automatically get a 'tar. The same 500 post applies to paying customers too. Good luck with the next 246 posts.

The only reason why they choose to have the demi title is to hide their ridiculoulsy high post counts

I hope you guys are kidding. I mainly contributed to contribute.
contribute |k?n?tribyo?t; -by?t| verb [ trans. ] give (something, esp. money) in order to help achieve or provide something : he contributed more than $500,000 to the center |
That was my feelings so far.
It takes money to keep a website going. Servers to handle the traffic. The connection to the internet and the bandwidth charges. And everything else.
~Shard~Shhhhhhhut up!!! Next thing you know you'll reveal how all contributors get free iPods... :eek: [/QUOTE said:Must have lucked out when I joined, I got a Mac mini.

This is one reason I like being a Demi. No one can call me on wanting to increase my post count.

So should people respect you because your parents are buying you a £2000+ laptop or because you spent $25 on a title (which i could understand if it were a KBE), not sure I get your point. At any rate, you get a degree for graduating, anything else is a big bonus.
Soon i will fork over some dough...
Besides if i become a demi....I would be the most evil Demi EVER!!!!!!....ok not really
Bless

Damn, is it that obvious?

the reason why i became a demi is another reason
im still under the 4 digit count as in post--count but who here is worried about post--count ..

glutton for punishment, eh?
it's true though (what's been said), demi is not synonymous with respect. you gotta earn that all on your own.

I'm a Demi with title so that people realise I'm a girl!
ha, yeah, that is definitely a bonus.
