What's up with "Founding Member" on profiles now?

[Mr_Q]

I have one on mine for example.

Just curious.

You just hit your 4-year anniversary as a Stangnet member. You are now officially a "Founding Member". Congrats!

U.M.

 

[Mr_Q]

Dope!

 

[Henceforward]

So in theory 10 years from now there will still be the chance for people to become a "founding member" even though they weren't here in 98-99...

I think they should have put a cap on the founding member status for people who joined before 2000.

Those are the true founding members...

I don't make the rules around here... I only enforce them.

Silence, heathen!

A solution is now applied.

or we can just remove all CTs and make everyone just an "official member"

 

[Ernad]

or we can just remove all CTs and make everyone just an "V official member"

Don't Founding members get like a pin or something?

It is hard to believe it has been five years since I found this site. It has been a great source of info and entertainment. FNG 2001 was F-ing New Guy. Now I'm F-ing Founding Member. Respect .

I've been at 167 for a while now. Posts here in the "Talk" section don't bring it up.

nope. only technical related posts count. talk is cheap, therefore its not worth a post count. if you want to increase your post count, you need to contribute something meaningful to the site.

Now I know I don't have alot of posts but I've hit four years?

 

[bigcat]

founding members need a certain amount of time AND posts to get the CT.

 

[Osiris]

I remember a time when we could change them ( or ask a mod to ).

the only way to change it now is to say something that is good enough to earn a CT.

I agree.. I think it's kind of funny seeing the founding member tag on a guy that joined after 2000.. maybe there should be a different senior tag for those people.

I used to have the founding member tag since I joined in january of 1999 but when i was put on staff the founding member tag went away.

I actually am a founding member though my account I am using now is from 2001. I signed up with my original account the week/month that Stangnet went live. Though I completely lost that account info and wasn't able to recover it way back when.

I watched the corral and stangnet grow up. Sniff!
