Ciaran is right, you don't have to post rubbish or blank posts to get to "Active Member" (150 posts)or "Very Active Member" (250 posts).
When you reach the required post count, your profile doesn't change automatically. As explained in the FAQ section (you should all take a few minutes to read the FAQ's as all the answers are there), I have to do this manually. Every week I check to see who is near the required post count and I change the profiles. Sometimes the members concerned might have 10 or 15 posts less than needed, but I change their profiles anyway (the targets are not exactly written in stone). Sometimes a member might have more posts than he or she needs and I might not catch them in time, or I might forget to check them on a particular week. If this happens (and it will occasionally as I have a lot to do), just send me a PM with a reminder and I will change your profile asap. I changed someone's profile tonight to "Active Member" and he had 174 posts, well overdue! So you see I do miss these things sometimes, but I'm only as human as everyone else here so I do make mistakes (forget things, lose things, break thingsetc..) :gunhead:.
I think that Redwing is so far ahead in the "Top Poster" title that there is little point in trying to chase him. Redwing practically owns this title at this stage and unless he falls off his perch and croaks prematurely, I think he is our Top Poster for life. Unless exavid catches up...
We do allow Redwing some slack with his posts as he is so helpful at welcoming new forum members and steering them in the right direction when they are searching for topics. Redwing has been around since the beginning of the forum (the old one too) and without his bit of humour andhelp I personally would have to spend a lot more of my time here.
None of us get paid a cent for our efforts, but we all do our best to help one another, this particularly applies to Vic (goldwinger1984), Paul (exavid) and several other forum members (don't be offended if I left your nameout as I'm typing this in a hurry) who have helped shape the Technical forum into a resource that I'mhappy to put my name to and be a part of. Ciaran (wexman) has been moderating the forums daily since the start and he does a great job of it, it can't be easy doing this every day. His diligence has been a major factor in keeping this message board from following the path to self-destruction that some other Goldwing forums have hurtled down in recent years.
I'm wandering off a bit here, the point is that if you see you post count nearing 150 or 250 or if you see someone elses post count going past the target without their profile changing, just send me a PM and I will look after it. :waving::waving::waving:
