Veteran member

[BigAl]

Doug, how about a new membership category, something like veteran for folks who aren't moderators but have passed a 1000 (or maybe 500) posts?

[Doug Nelson]

I considered claiming it already had something like that, since there are no users except mods that have over 1000 posts, but that would be mean

I'll mull it over (I mainly don't like the word "veteran")

Ed ?

My bad, I still think of Ed as a moderator.

Don't use veteran....how about "Retouch Relic" ....or "antiquity"

I see that as very kind words. Thank you very much.

Great one DJ

We all see you as a very kind person, Ed.

Been scratching around in the thesaurus on veteran. One possibility is master, but that would be sexist. Following down that line I came across illuminati which sounds quite nice. (lit: those who are enlightened.)

suggestion:
Retouchpro illuminatus

Or you could just go with Charter Member. But I think that would pertain to those who joined in the first year. I'm not sure how old the site was when I came on board. Ed and Tom were here before me. And I believe our join dates are listed as when we made the big move here not when we actually joined in the old site. Interesting thoughts though.

I think of Ed as a moderator too. He's got that "Butler who greets you at the door, takes your coat and settles you in with a refreshing drink" way about him.
