It's VIP....yes, I know it's just the net and it's just a forum but people should still do something to deserve it.
I've already agreed with you on that point, you don't have to keep hammering that nail, it's already nailed.
Just about every member right now who is VIP is a well known member for whatever reason. Do you think anyone will remember fuzzy? You have 89 posts so far and people will probably still say 'who?' whenever your username is mentioned. Pumpt isn't VIP (as far as I know) but he is still a better known member than you from back when he had like 10 posts. He came in here and immediately started intelligent discussion and proved he was a good, new addition to the forum. You haven't made any sort of impact, imo.
Well i'm sorry you feel that way, and not to take away from the well known members you speak of, but not everyone contributes the same way nor do they do it your way, whatever that may be. If you feel I haven't contributed or made any sort of impact, then that's your opinion.
Does it seem right to you to be here for less than a month, have 8 posts and get VIP? Hell, no, you're crazy if you do. Who knows if you will even be here in a year or two.
If you read my very first post in this thread, you would see that, I never demanded or said I should be vip, I simply asked a question as to how. and I asked because I was new to the fourm, I came from another fourm with an invite to join this fourm. (How do you know that other members will be here in a year or two?) calm yourself my friend, members will come and go, most will stay and some might not stay. I WAS A MEMEBER OF THAT OTHER FOURM WHICH I STILL AM YET NOT AS ACTIVE THERE AS I AM HERE BUT NONETHELESS i've been member there for over a year.
VIP should be for people who have been here for a long time and have kept the forum alive, not some guy who has less than 100 posts, been here less than a month, hasn't done much to 'pop' out in people's minds, and creates a thread thinking he is VIP material.
Again you're retlling what you have already told at the top of your post. So please do tell, what is it that you want me to do that will "POP OUT" because it seems to me, that new members or guests that want to join this fourm, have to first read YOUR "how to" guide, in order to be able to join groups,, ect ect... forgive me if I don't run out and preorder a copy.
If you are still here in a year and have made great posts and become someone whom everyone will know pretty well, sure, but until then, if I were in charge of handing out VIP, I wouldn't even think twice about giving it to you, especially after asking for it and not doing anything to earn it.
Let ask you a question, do you join a fourm so people will know who you are for whatever reasons you may want them to, or do you join because you want have a bit of fun while talking with these people of whom you may have the same interest with?
