Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

Attention Junior cdXc'ers:

At random times during the day we will begin checking to see your online status. If you are online, we will give you a point. Once you have accumulated a certain number of points, you will automatically be granted full status.

Possible time checks will range from:
3pm - 3am.

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

I sent my application in, so whats up?

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

We promise we're getting to it. I've recently been forced into studying for the SAT (not necessarily a bad thing..) And I don't know about Adam. If you don't hear from us in 2 days. Send me a PM/IM

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

I'm just wondering why you feel that someone with little reputation and limited posts is not addicted to Chiefdelphi? Why do you need to see how many Rep points someone has? Or how many times they have posted?

I personally don't see the point of this group. I was probably on Chiefdelphi for almost one and a half years before I began posting anywhere near consistently, and most of those posts were in the chit-chat forum. That doesn't mean I wasn't addicted to the site. I simply didn't feel I had the experience to post in the sections of the forum I enjoyed reading. I was addicted to reading old threads on drive systems (ex: Mark, Andy, and the Technokittens '03 ball drive) The fact that I had no reputation, no posts, and no real recognition on these forums did not mean I didn't surf it's pages for 4-6 hours a night reading.

The only group you need to be a part of to gain recognition as a ChiefDelphi addict, or enthusiast, or supporter... whatever you'd like to call yourself, is ChiefDelphi.com itself.

I am addicted to ChiefDelphi, and I don't need to be a member of this little clique to prove it.

Just my 2 honest Abe's,

I realize that it may seem like it's a popularity contest. But again it's not.

Really, I'm not even sure why the post/rep is there. I just know it is, and it works. We have yet to turn down anyone and I doubt we ever will. It was so posted to be a fun little group.

From the feed back I've been getting, it seems that people either love it or they hate it. I just wish more people would love it than hate it. (I realize they are strong words, but its the expression)

If it was all about proving yourself by rep and posts, we wouldn't be doing honorable members. Again, Honorable Members are people that we see on Chief Delphi, ALLOT. So we offer up the member ship. Actually, we Email/PM/IM them and are just like "Hey, this is who we are here's your button".

I really wish people would not look so far into this, we're not trying to make people feel any less or more superior than others than they are, nor are we trying to point out who's better. Just who's addicted.

We also have the Junior Program, which is people who are addicted but haven't posted allot. I understand that this part DOES seem like a popularity contest, but it isn't. We're just making sure they're into CD for the long run.

Being addicted isn't just about your rep count/ post count, but theres really no way to tell other than that, thats why we chose that route. It doesn't mean you're addicted or not, it's just our way that you're telling the truth.

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

I think you need about 200 posts, and around 400 rep points for full membership.

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

No because I'm still a junior member and I have over 400 rep pts.

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

You should invite the people that ask Brandon for help so they can graduate... :rolleyes:

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

I have 9000 rep points. Do I qualify for the special blinking banner?

I agree with Jeff, Mike, Greg, and Jay. I really don't see anything coming out of this besides hurt feelings.

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

Is this still happening?

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

FINALS :ahh:

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

Amateur... :p lol j/k I thought i was higher, but I'm around there too. Horray for rep wars eh tom? ;)

And (on a more serious note?), as far as rep points go, only you can see how many you have as a total number value. No one else can see how many you have. The only sorting by rep one can do is by totals.. but the actual number of rep points does not show up, just the number of light green/dark green colored buttons.

If there was a way to track time spent surfing cd for individuals, that would be the best way to rank somoene in terms of addiction, but for now I guess post numbers can be the biggest factor.

And, essays.. aye.. why an essay Michelle & Adam?? I hate writing.. stuff... lol

Other than my 4,925 posts in 5 years on CD that is (including this one). :ahh: ;) :p
w0w.. that averages to be 985 posts a year. Dang.

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

You know Elgin, that post is probably twice the 47 word essay length... ;)

Re: So you think you’re cdXc?
 

Well I'm not really sure what the think of cdXc.
I agree that it will end up with hurt feelings, and for no good reason. But of course the whole "cdXc" thing is kinda cool.

Possible solution:
Anyone is free to use the cdXc userbar and say that they're cdXc, but as a common courtesy, people should send FruityPebbles or AdamRichards a PM or email saying that they're using the cdXc idea.
