MacRumors: Server Updates, Site Support, Contributions

In case it hasn't been made clear: Avatars are related to post count and not contributor status, and there are no plans to change that.

Welcome to all the new contributing members!

I don't want this to turn into a thinksecret vs macrumors or macrumors vs other site argument.

ThinkSecret and MacRumors enjoy a very good relationship and I don't think anyone has to choose one or the other.

I think this says something about the kind of people that frequent this forum - always trying to pick fights...! Mac vs. PC... MR vs TS... When asking a wise man whether he used a mac or a pc I was told "the true skill is in being able to use both"!

Anyhoo, well done with upgrades - things feel a lot snappier :) Can't wait till I have $25 to contribute... but unfortunately I cleared out my bank account by ordering 2 20" displays instead of 1 :p

i was wondering if there is a way of seeing how many people contributed...It would be interesting to know. Maybe a poll.

Sounds like the kind of statistics work that would be right up Doctor Q's alley! ;)
 
Given that this is one site that I have been lurking on, and a member of since switching to Mac in 2003, I feel that donating $25 (or AUD$34) is well worth it.

This little drive for funds should have MR awash with cash for improvements :)
 
Could someone please clarify for me

Ok, have I understood this correctly. You get to become a Demi-God as soon as you pay up $25? ...and you become a Contributor, when?
If so, then it sounds like a huge inflation of titles.
I honestly liked it better when you could tell the "rank" of the person you where talking with. As of now I have seen tons of demi-gods floating around. Ok, after lurking around here for a couple of years before I began to post I have some idea of who is who. Still couldn't it be an idea to provide nonmod "old timers" with some other title, for the sake of those that hopefully will join in later? Like ... Grand duke of the knights that says NIH? :p
I don't know, just an idea on top of my head. Probably, a stupid idea...

Contributor. Demi...

Same thing, except some members feel uncomfortable with the god/dess bit for personal reasons so choose the more accurate and neutral 'contributor'.

I found some old posts from some dude named AplhaTech there. He and this guy named BritBoy were hellions and a lot of fun. Wonder what happened to them?

Thanks!
Couldn't it be worth considering to "promote" people that have been around for a couple of years?
Perhaps as some sort of guides helping newcomers to fit into this community.
I don't know, as I said it might be a terrible idea.
It does not necessariy have to be Grand dukes of the Knights who says NIH, but admit the title is kind of cool. :D

We could call them Hemi-god/ess - for those who half been 'round a while...





Oh lordy, did I actually post that :eek:
 
Awesome! I'm off the forums for a day and miss the big news.
Arn, thanks for everything you do, Paypal payment has been made.
 
If Arn is the ultimate god then others should be Prince or Princess or Duke. :)

Bit like your good self Jlo, how's tricks?

Thanks to all the good people contributing to the site, it's good to have a stake in something. :D

See you all in the uber-secret Private Forum where secrets of the universe are bandied around... :rolleyes:

What happens in this so-called "private" forum?

Everyone gets naked and talks about sex.

Then we realize how many guys are on this board and get a bit weirded out. :p


Thanks Arn. I will contribute $25 if I can do so by credit card. :)

Not going to sign up for PayPal. I've never even bought anything off sites like eBay before. I know, I'm a bit stuck in the past, and I'm only 24. :eek:
