Nomintation for Elite

[S Freud]

I recently recieved help from a member that I feel deserves recognition, this member not only responed with very helpful advice but PM'ed me with an opinion and links to help me research the problem I was having and new products to help solve the problem.

My Thread
Other Proof

A Quick search also brings up plenty of results for more evidence.

I nominate fbrdphreak for Elite(or some other kind of custom title)

Ghost is a disk imaging tool. It makes an image of the disk's contents and allows you to only restore the entire contents of that disk, to my knowledge. I've not played much with the Windows software, but have used their boot CD a lot. Looking at the features of Ghost 10.0 on their website, it is just the basic backup & restore. Acronis TrueImage is so much more. There is a fundamental difference in how the two products copy the hard drives; to my knowledge, Acronis makes a true sector-by-sector copy of the drive. Ghost does not, but I honestly can't remember how Ghost does it. Either way, I've heard a lot of horror stories about Ghost backups not working right. Also, Ghost prompts you to defragment usually; this has to do with how Ghost records your disk's data and isn't an issue with Acronis since it copies every sectory individually. Acronis just offers a ton of other features with it, but I'd look at their site for a clear breakdown:
http://www.acronis.com

Any supporters please feel free to chime in any knowledge in this thread.

Thanks

Can the people voting for no please explain why they are voting for no?

This is unfortunately BAD advice. It would only get either locked or moved here.

I used to know a dog named Tuffy.

Edit: is there supposed to be a poll?

A Mod suggested that I start this thread in FI, I know that many people might not know who this member is, there are thousands of members on this board, you can't know them all . Thats why I linked some threads and suggested a search to show evidence about the member.

My guess would be that there was a poll and it there was those who decided to mess with it.

I had a poll, till I realized that people were just voting no without a reason. The mods told me to create this thread so they could gather support in one general area for review.

 

[KeithTalent]

Upon further review I would vote yes...if there were a poll. Maybe "Laptop Guru" or something would be appropriate here. Hard to say.

yea, whenver there is a poll anywhere for any reason, you can pretty much bet on ppl showing up and skewing the results for no other reason than to get their kicks.

when the poll was still up, i voted no but the poll was pulled so quickly i didn't even want to give my opinion. a poll like this should be left alive.

that said, i like what the man does but "elite" is thrown around way too much here.

there are plenty of people who offer help like that- Galv, mucker etc that don't get these "elect for elite" threads.

what i'm saying is this is a community and helping people is what friends do.

edit- out goes my ot crap.

 

[imported_LoKe]

My vote would have to be "no".

While I realize the work he is doing, I feel that there are others who worked much harder and waited much longer to get that title and respect. There used to be so few "Elite" and now there are at least a hundred of them, This is a title that should be reserved to the experts in their field, and not those who just seem "well adversed".

 

[S Freud]

I know a lot of you are just sharing your opinion that it what I asked, but everyones issue with there being too many Elites is something that should really be taken up with a mod.

 

[potato28]

Id say yes, but not for Elite. Something like Laptop Guru or something like that.

I have to agree with that.

For this person to obtain the Elite title, he should discover other ways to contribute to the community, rather than helping others, which is an outstanding thing to do to boost his potential. Perhaps having the title "Laptop Guru" would be adaquate in this case.

You all have to remember that becoming the next Elite isn't just about how good you may think you are now, but it's about how you've been as a forum member.

well you've been around a long time, so if you don't know the dude, he's probably a nobody anyhow.

what? oh wait. doh.

I could be wrong, but I've always thought that a custom title was better than an elite title in most cases??

Second, just let the mods decide, bring it up to them if you really feel like nominating them, then let them decide. A member should not be discussed nor should a poll be taken by the general public.

there are very few custom titles

AFAIK, it's always been done this way - nominating and then voting for elite members.

and the member in question has been helpful in the [relatively] few posts i have seen by him

finally, there are MANY elites found in only one or two places of the forum . . . some are 'ot' specialists . . . some 'gh' . . . some technical support . . .

come to think of it i have never seen anyone Elite get nominated from Video.
:Q

or P&N

 

[SparkyJJO]

I think custom titles are reserved for the extra special guys, like jokersmoker for instance. Elite is an honoring one but not as much as a custom title.

At least that is the way I see it

 

[imported_Lucifer]

I think apoppin deserves "Smiley abuser" as his custom title.

Quite certain he was nominated because of his LCD thread in Video.
