<< Hey all,

Has anyone noticed everyone who joined in October 1999 is Elite? I was just looking through a few posts and they all are... maybe that's the hidden key

<< noriaki is an elite for giving lots of tech support i think... though i could be wrong. its a rather thankless thing to do, but occasionally you help out that newbie that gets it all together based on what you told him and thats really nice. >>



Couldn't have said that better myself. Noriaki was the very first person I spoke w/on these forums. He helped me get my first home-brew rig together. Great guy.

Speaking as an Elite member i can assure you that has nothing to do with anything. The truth to Elite status is a large check sent to the moderators for the "Mod Party Account".

However, Elite status can be revoked for revealing details like this, but I'm sure that- HEY!

<--- stares in horror at his status

nope length of membership has no bearing. As far as i can make out it is more a question of contribution to the boards and conduct. Elite status appears to be a recognition by the Powers that be of exemplary conduct and contribution the the anandtech community. Although there are a few elite that can be particularly abrasive at times.

From the FAQ:

<<
6. Information about the number of posts associated with member status can be found in the "Help" section. In addition to the status that occurs automatically based on post count, you will find another called "Elite". In this case, it is not based on number of posts but rather is granted by the forum Administrators based on input from the forum Moderators.
Elite members are those who have been supportive of the forums, and positively contributed in a variety of ways, whether it is being helpul answering hardware questions, tracking down trolls in For Sale/Trade or just simply bringing a few smiles to other members in Off Topic.

Trust me, it doesn't matter when you joined. It's all about the quality of your posts.

Maybe us old timers should be given a special title though.

Elite status, conferred on high by the Diety himself, is not, in and of itself, irrefutable proof of a member's all around awesome superiority in all phases of life including, for male members, penis size, but merely a 99.999% confirmation of same.

While lesser Anandtech status does not automatically mean you should come brutally face to face with your obvious (to others) and appalling shortcomings vis a vis the shining seamless perfection of those we are priveleged to acknowledge as the "elite", but it should.

Do not despair, lesser ones!! Astounding and heretofore unforseen improvements in your basic worthiness could wash over you like some unlikely tsunami of essentially undeserved good fortune, rendering you at least partially eligible for the otherwise unreachable "elite" status. It's just mind numbingly unlikely, is all.

Given your wretched inferiority, should you, indeed, give up and go lay down in fast moving traffic?

My saint like sensitivity precludes an candid answer.

Now, be a good fellow, and fetch me another beer, for I am of the ELITE!

That theory doesn't work because I also joined Oct, 1999 and have since been banned twice (hence the newer name).

I really need to post more here so I can get rid of my stinking Senior status. I have been a Senior forever it seems.

<< I wish I had big balls. >>



Hehe...big balls. Don't wish for them, seriously. I have had some problems in that area for the last 2 months, and I am scared to death I tell ya. I have to see the Doctor next week, and I am expecting the worse.
