Title: still a newbie :(
Post by: Fazeel on 13 August 2010, 01:21:58
how do i become a junior member from a newbie, and then senior member and so on ??

Is it by the number of days since joining or the amount of posts that you makes ??
Title: Re: still a newbie :(
Post by: Del Boy on 13 August 2010, 01:23:56
Amount of posts you make, see you're a junior member already :y

yeah, just saw that now
:P

Well, then thats really hard !!
I hardly know anything about my car, or any other infact, so I sort only my problems, I cant go around helping and answering other peoples problems,
Which means it gonna take me ages to become anything with like 5 stars or something  :-/

Responding to every joke with a 'pmsl' or a smiley, and posting 'Wasn't me !' etc. when someone has spotted another Omega on the road and is asking if it was anyone on here will soon have your postcount soaring.

Gosh it's easy!

Post by: Phil on 13 August 2010, 10:56:05
5 stars is over-rated!!

Long term 'membership' and only a couple of stars is the way forward.

Its like having a low millage old car, far better  :D

Did you warn him about using the 'A' word TB? :-?
We wouldn't want the lad getting a complex for being 'told off' too many times at the start of his OOF Career or indeed losing any more of his coveted post count ::) ;) :)
