I took a scout through the thread that was in Forum News when there was a bunch of promotions at the end of 2010, and I found this explanation: Quote from: JoeBlo on December 30, 2010, 09:44:52 AMQuote from: NFX on December 30, 2010, 09:39:40 AMPossibly. The truth is, they're a little bit pointless. As long as you have fun here, that's all that really matters. =Dding ding singand thats why you got one :P Best thing to do, I reckon, would be to stop worrying about it. Enjoy your time here, try and help out as much as you can, and generally find some way that you can keep the forum ticking over. Those that ask don't get, was another line from that thread. It's like what happened with JoeBlo and Backlash, if you keep asking for it, the chances are you're going to annoy the people who make the decisions, and eventually your chances of actually getting it are going to go right down the toilet.

Possibly. The truth is, they're a little bit pointless. As long as you have fun here, that's all that really matters. =D
For once the mods did something right

This is something that I make sure to stress frequently, yet somehow these discussions keep popping up. If you feel the need to ask to be promoted, the likelihood is that you DO NOT deserve it. And it's always the same people bringing it up, and those people will NEVER become advanced users. Think of it this way, AU's are supposed to be role models for the rest of the forum. If they spent the majority of their time asking and begging and moaning to become AU, then it is likely that other users will attempt to do the same.It's sort of like on your birthday as a kid, when you're opening presents from your grandparents or something, and before you even get a chance to take it in your mom goes "Now say thank you..." At that point the "Thank You!" loses all meaning.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.
