It never really was acceptible, just tolerated. It isn't about computing so it's too OT, plus many members would use it to boost post counts.

An alternative system which I think would work is this...
When you hit your mark add the line "I finally made it to "phat-shark", PM congrats" to your sig. After a week or so you remove the line and go back to living a normal life.

This way you don't encourage spam posts and still get the glory :D Plus this way everyone who reads one of your posts will know you did it and PM you.

I just might do this to celebrate breaking the 92% mark on Seti@home.

Just make a post in General Hardware that says. What is the best CD-RW drive, and then in the body say: Guys I want to buy a CD-RW drive, which is the best value... Oh by the way i'm now a GWS.

You'll get quite a few congrats in before it gets closed ;)

Hrmmmmmmmm
