And we can have pink for n00bs, orange for flamers, blue for huge posters, etc. etc. [/sarcasm]

Also, what qualifies as a vet?

SSG and Sorrow should switch with robo and scrap.

Serge is more of a vet then you :)
been around since 2005

GF has been around for even longer
<3

Vet: an awesome, trustworthy person that has been around for a while

[ACAMS]

Serge has been around longer than all of you, infact if I remember correctly he was on RA1 old boards. I would call that a vet.

Barbie already has the pink

oh. wrong definition of veteran in my head :P

perhaps a bot-building skill ranking. or something. Somehow thats what got into me as what a vet was. probably in my early days vet always meant good builder. it stuck.

sorry to serge and GF.

[R0B0SH4RK]

I've been around since August '06. I joined the first time, then left for a while and came back some time in early '07 I think...

I know I joined before Sage did though.

[Naryar]

weee! colors!

I nominate R0B0 and Jules as Vets.

[somestrangeguy]

Thanks for the Veteran rank :D

For the flamers/spammers/n00bs they could be made with just a special rank in place of the weightrank.

[Naryar]

I would gladly have my name In Orange, yeah.

And what about user-related custom ranks rather than weight ranks like in the old forum (or like Barbie)?

I also noticed that my private messages thingy under my Log In name has disappeared. Was that intentional?

That is what the problem was. It is fixed now.

[philetbabe]

i agree, Nayar is an active and helpful member, his advices are always relevant and with a good spirit.

edited : Same thing for Somebody. Not that he is a heavy poster, but he supports newbies

[Somebody]

Definetly, Heavy posters (me and naryar) should get our own distinction.

[Flying_Chao]

They already do. Superheavyweights.

[Somebody]

I meant, like the vet color type thing. Unless you want to keep it to only vets ACAMS.

[Naryar]

SHW isn't really great. SHW's are pretty much frowned upon that said!

I would say two things:
-Color, for the forum rank
-Title, personal

Example, all the vets will have their name in gold, but each could ask for a different title rather than "Veteran". But this title must be deserved/earned with a special thing.

Examples:

Urjak => Spiderweight (in the title, not in the avatar)
Serge => Modder (gold because he's a veteran)
Hydro => 9x Post Combo Master
Gigafrost => Major Modder
Madiaba => Major Modder(blue, moderator)
Clickbeetle => DSL Team(red, admin)
Starcore => AI Master

And for all noobs, well, "Noob-weight" or something like that.

Etc.

[philetbabe]

to be qualified as a vet, someone must have a skilled knowledge which must be proved by :
- win the BBean championship
- organise and conduct to its end a championship
- delivers new and valuable AI pack or component pack (either with the help of others)
- build a good arena
- help in improving the program knowledge (Serge)

some may take years before becoming vets, others are 'RA2 infused' and grow quickly.

[Gigafrost]

Not to mention that most vets have been here since the old forums (My Join Date: 10-14-2004  10-14-2004  on gametechmods alone/ 2003 for official forums and serge for who knows how long). Not all members may become vets for this though. It really depends on their contribution like you said and it goes deeper than things like posting 9x in a row or being a superheavyweight.

[Urjak]

Yay "Spiderweight"

[kill343gs]

SHWs are, if anybody read my "Bad Post" wiki, not always a good thing. I don't think such a thing should be awarded for in itself.

Also, thanks goose and Acams.

[infiniteinertia]

Wowowowowowowowowwowowowowowowowowowow.

Infinite has alot to say...

First off. I hate the color yellow. Why would you use a color you can barely see on a white background?

and I do agree on color coding thenames dependig on what kind of vet you are. I thinking green for mods, red for admins/moderators, blue for builders.

I like the idea, alot, but the yellow isnt right...and why is madiaba blue?

Anyway, you should make orange for flamers, but nothing else really for the lesser members around the forum, that would jsut get too complicated and out of hand.

Some comments on things people said.

I also nominate:
Jules, pyscolone, Sorrow, Barbie, Phlox, Metal Virus, eFFeeMMe, and Luigica.

Sorry, but I really dont think Sorrow and Phlox are good enought o be veterans building wise, because they wouldnt be vets for any other reason.

If Metal Virus, Luigica, and eFFe were ever around, then definitely. But theyre not.

I nominate InfiniteInteria.

If you sucked up anymore, your head would be fully up my ass.

Uhh. sorry PB, but not reallly. The last one is really the only good suggestion. Anything else anybody can do.

I think Scrap Daddy, R0B0SH4RK, and if you havent done him yet, Jules, all deserve to be veterans.

I was on the border with Nary, but he's just not ready.
