Greg, how do you manage to keep tabs on every member? My promotions seemed to go like clock work so I assumed it was an automatic post count thing.

Greg, how do you manage to keep tabs on every member? My promotions seemed to go like clock work so I assumed it was an automatic post count thing.
Haha You want to know my secret, eh? Simple really. I have an Excel spreadsheet to which I add each new patron I run across. Sometimes I have a brain fade and forget to add a new patron to my spreadsheet. I usually catch it later, especially if they post frequently, but there have been one or two that I didn't realize I missed until they asked about promotion - oops http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...embarassed.gif
Does it really have everyone who was ever a junior patron in it? How big is it? It must be taking up a fair percentage of your hard rive http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...speechless.gif
I briefly considered keeping a history but figured Tosa could probably put up any stats I'd need. Once the promotions go up, I delete the promoted names from the Excel list. Still, there are quite a few Junior Patrons that have posted once or twice and never again. My list is gradually growing and has over 650 names on it.

Geez, Greg. You deserve to get paid for moderating this place. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif Keep it up http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif
Hey Gregoshi, just wondered when the last promotions happened. I know I'm not one and that you've got quite a backlog. So I was just wondering when the next list comes out.
(and if i'm in it.)
Thanks.

hay yeah tell me too please http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif and zelda you failed your hundered post count thing http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif
Yeah, he hasn't even reached 100 even now.
I only reached 100 this quick because I was able to post in the other forums.... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...-2thumbsup.gif
grr yeah didnt you go straght to member lucky you http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif i cant even post in the coleseum so i have been at the .com latley
We'll try to get another batch of promotions by the weekend.
The problem some of you face is that you are such prolific posters that you are at 40-50+ posts within a couple of days of joining. Most new patrons would have 2-10 posts in the same time period.
The problem that we face when there are several prolific posters that join about the same time (like now) is that it means we have a lot more posts to read. For the last week or two, often I'd come here and my unread posts would spill over to a second page. In one or two cases I'd reviewed all posts 8-10 hours before hand and was shocked to find another screenful of new posts to read again http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif It is like trying to swim upstream. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/gc-help.gif LOL
You'll need a mod to just promote new patrons pretty soon - R:TW will bring masses of n00bs
Yep loads of little n00bs will be hopping around. You may have to promote some of the senior members to mederators to keep up.
There are two main reasons why I haven't got to 100 yet ceaser.
1) I got a old P.C working that can just about play shogun. Unfortunately the web and the sound still don't work. But hey I can still slaughter some yuri ashiguru now.
2)The inquisition is taking up some of my time and I haven't been promoted to senior patron yet. Ask ceaser what I mean when I say the inquisition.
So you'r hoping to have promotions, by this weeked? Mm'kay I hope Im there. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...gc-curtain.gif

Hey gregoshi can I ask you what the little lightbulb thing is above the avatar.
It's the online now feature. When someone's on the boards, their lightbulb is on. When they're logged off, the bulb is off http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
What about those other things like a little box that says edit, a little camera or the pi symbol?
NO idea Kataar but I want to be a Mod http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif
I know what the camera means, If you put a personal picture of yourself (or your dog in Tosa Inu's case) you get a picture icon on top of your avatar. The HF refers to whether you've got a hall of fame record and I don't know the other ones. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/idea.gif
you said ny the weekend and its the week end give us our promotions or we newbies will have a rally
not really http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif get it out when ya want
then why dont i have a camera??? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/tongue.gifQuote:

As to the little symbols above the avatar, here is their meaning:
HF (purple): 2003 Hall of Fame winner
HF (green): 2002 Hall of Fame winner
Camera: Winner of one or more categories in a screenshot competition earlier this year.
EDIT: given to those who have made significant contributions in the area of modding the TW games.
MAP: given to those who have made significant contributions in making battle maps for the TW games.
Paper w/writing: given to those who have made significant contribution in writing stories.
Some with more than two have the little icons flip between two. See froggy's for an example. The camera and paper flip every second or two.
Thanks for the promotion greogoshi.
thanks my smiley firends will have a
party
