Apologies if this has been asked before, and I'm sure it has, but what is the progression/evolution of post count lifeforms (with the number of posts required)? Just a bit curious. I'm not a big 'post-er' but have spent hours reading them. Thank you for your time.

1-9 posts= Sushi
10-49 posts= Expensive Sushi
50-99 posts= Goldfish
100-249= Catfish
250-499= Reef Shark
500-999= Tiger Shark
1000-4999= Hammerhead Shark
5K+= Great White or your own custom title/avatar

This was found using a very useful tool called search

I think it should be part of the FAQ.

dude, I've been seeing your posts for quite some time and this is the first time I realized what you user name was. I always read it as dude-with or dude-width. Ha-ha, me so silly. It's kinda like reading generic shark instead of genetic.

I wonder if he's any relation to DudeWTF... Wasn't there a guy running around here with that name?

Yea that was me, but Housen said he had to change my name to dudewth because the F implied something...it's not like I really care that much though. Hell I made this account to just post once or twice and ended up coming here everyday

Dudewth, thank you, the information is much appreciated. However, the sarcasm is not. I apparently did not use the same search terms you used in your search. Please share them with me so I may someday assist someone with a similar question rather than talk down to them.

Hmm I wasn't trying to be sarcastic at all. I was just pointing out that searching for things helps. We get way too many re-posts about the exact same thing with the same question being asked on the same page. That's not the case here, but just try a number of searches with different words. Also post that you already searched for it and couldn't find it so people know. I searched for "posts ranks"

another point of info that's not really mentioned is that if you see a folder with a 'dot' on it then it means you have posted to that thread. Makes it easy to keep track of what threads you have posted in too keep up.

OMG!

I never realised that!!

Lol, thanks!!

**GLScooby** · 07-20-2002, 02:49 PM

Using the search terms you recommended, I found a thread or two with the appropriate info. Thanks. The other stuff - you caught me on a bad day. I guess there are different ways to say just about anything and folks shouldn't be thin skinned. Done deal.

Let me check out that feature.......

Wow! nice feature!

Damn I never knew that either...I always just spent time trying to remember if I knew the title of the thread

And to think, you guys used to be my idols

Did you at least do a search for your own user name
to see if anyone has followed up on your posts?
(please, please say yes)

I usually check back often enough to have less than a page of new topics, so I just go through all of them

No, I don't post enough to search for myself. I just remember the thread title and look for it.
