I ran across a member whom I didn't recognize (don't remember who it was) so I thought I would click on their name and peek at their profile. Come to find out, this person had a post count of 500 to 600 and was knighted a Demi-God.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining; I'm just curious as to what it takes to be a Demi-God and why this other person was granted the status with a relatively low post count. Perhaps it has nothing to do with post count; I don't know. :confused:

Some people have processor numbers, and some people are Demi-Gods and Demi-Goddesses. Was mad jew ever a Demi-God?

If I understand correctly, the advantages are the

a) satisfaction of supporting the site in a monetary way

and

b) ability to have an avatar before the required 500 posts

I'm not sure of the link's location, but I think there's a way to pay said monetary contribution through PayPal and other appropriate channels.

(I hope that what I'm saying is correct, trusting that someone will correct me when, in fact, I'm wrong. :rolleyes: )

1. Free hookers.
2. Christmas party at Jobs' house.
3. The Official MacRumours Demi Swingers thread - we all pick virtual keys out of a virtual bowl each week and go off for a shag.
4. Every month Arn gives away a free iPod to a lucky Demi.

Nah, the advantages are all listed in the FAQ section of this site, read up on them and if you think it's worth the money then shell out the bikkies.

Nope, you still need 500+ posts to get an avatar.
 
Yeah, there's definitely no post count requirement. I paid my dues before I even wrote my first post.

The best benefit for me is the satisfaction in supporting the website's robust community, news coverage, and extras. Plus there's the whole ad-free front page and forum page, too. ;)

In the context of user titles:

Other user titles are based on post counts and are assigned processor ranks. There's a chart in the FAQ.
