OP said...hey kiwi - now that i'm a 'master' and have 4 black dots, do i get some kind of prize or maybe special priviliges?


OP (he of the orange curtain) bought up a point which prompted me to do a bit of detective work.I am not sure if everyone can access this info but for what it is worth here it is.This board is just over one year old in this latest guise with 336 members and 6473 posts(more but i blitz posts every now and then.

kiwi -

and i remember when it was you and i and our combined email contacts from the original k2 forum after they closed down the server - hooked up with a few others with similar info and - - -

now, a couple of sites later - - - back to great things again.

this is my early morning, having a cup of coffee and pre checking out what's happening in the stock market, financial world and then checking to see if there are any openings in my or any other companies job market for better positions than what i have - addiction.  

but yeah, poor matno - gotta give him credit tho for the love of the sport

OP

I know I'm glad to be back.  I used to frequent the original tech forum at the Pro-Flex website.  When they changed over and such I lost touch.  Been a lurker on the 855heads newsgroup since.  Seems that most of the discussions have been here though. ::)  Oh well, I finally found this forum so now I can help and get help again! ;)

Hey folks, long time no see.  Kiwi, I edited your table a bit - it's a bit better now.  :)

To clear things up a bit, the titles (and the number of dots) are based on how many posts you have.  Not the best method, as post whores (people with lots of useless posts) will get the same status as members who contribute knowledge all the time.

As for the numbers, you get a Master rating at 250 posts, and Guru at 500.  There's nothing above Guru.

Sorry I haven't had the time to hang about here for a while, a new son, several new bikes, a whole lot of riding and tons of work to support all the above don't leave me much left over.  I do check in now and again, though.

well the 'PORNO BIKE' section needs to be up dated, (It's the same with my bike, I keep up grading it, so it will keep me motivated, or just another excuse to ride) and the link they are good just would like a trail review one  ??? anyway this is the best forum, is down to earth, has that 'family' feeling, and there is the 'bonding' ....the k2/proflex bikes ;D

By the porno section, are you referring to the little square below the left menu?

As for tables with borders, this doesn't appear to be possible. :(  I'll put in a feature request with the devteam and see what we get!

Dang! I knew there was a name for people like me. I had hoped it was a little less derogatory than "post whores"!!!
;D

By the way, I was in surgery the other day with an orthopedic surgeon who owns (and rides) a Proflex Animal! Always fun to find a fellow Proflexer...
