hey guys I've been wondering what is needed to achieve veteran status on the forums. I've been around for about 7 years or so, hosted more tournaments then most, showcased a heap of bots and helped out the new people.

to sum up, i would like a purple title :)

Besides frezal and sorrow, Veteran is for people who have been respected for modding and/or bot building during their time. At least that's my take on it.

You should definitely be an advanced user at least, and I bet if you built something besides AWs and LWs Veteran should be within reach for how long you've been here. Personally I think RObO and Scrap deserve it as well.

If you're creating a thread about it, you're probably not a vet. I suggest sending ACAMS a PM detailing why you're a Vet. Not why you think you're a Vet, but why you are one.

There's nothing specific anyone can do to be a Vet. Either you are one, or you're not.

yeah i know i like to stick to the light weight classes, it's just more fun for me to try and build bots no one has seen before in those weight classes. I was also a little confused between the difference of some advanced users and some Veterans for example SSG is a vet and MikeNCR is advanced :/

I've been wondering why Virus Bomb and myself haven't become advanced users for a little while myself.

I want my Technical Advisor title! >:(

No, but seriously, the more you ask about it the less likely you'll get it. And to be perfectly honest, I've first heard of you about a month ago.

I've been showcasing bots for two years now, and (imo) giving some of the best advice possible in the stock showcase, and I own the Battlebotsvideos youtube channel =|

There are a couple of people that should be AUs. 40757, G.K., RIBBS, Redline(at least AU), Ounce, urjak, virus bomb, probably craaig

For Vet- Firebeetle(even though he isn't on much), MikeNCR

If you ask, or have it in your sig you will most likely not get it!

ianh05 has been around a long, long time and got overlooked because he dissapeared for a year or so.
Serge lost his Tech status when he hacked the forum......lol, serves him right

Serge · « **Reply #12 on:** July 27, 2010, 11:10:14 PM »

I never was Technical Advisor before :P.

ACAMS · « **Reply #13 on:** July 27, 2010, 11:34:13 PM »

I thought you were......I'm sure you were!.........you are now, so do some technical advising!

Well, to start, I keep getting an error whenever I try to use my Existing admin powers.

EDIT: OK I'll delete this if it's spam

Trov, Apanx and Serge were TA's..... We made a category just for you guys...
(Pink was ACAMS' choice... hehe. Actually I think it's cool.)

Sparky: Well then, we'll just have to fix that....

I used to be one before I was spontaneously demoted after the forum switch.
