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.
