What are the benefits of 1000 posts ??

hot-fuzz · 09-12-2006, 11:30 PM

Its taken me the best part of a year and alot of typing.

I havent randomly posted **** over the months (like some i could mention) and so was wondering if there are any benefits?

Im 30 next week.
Its my 1st Year Wedding Anniversary on 22nd
Its Christmas on 25th
My missus is expecting on 31st
I made 1000 posts.

Life is sweet.

Yeah, your membership card is in the post.

Expect a free HD DVD player, gold watch and pension plan.

GET IN.

But ....
Can i have a Blu-ray player instead??

Also, i prefer silver coloured watches.

Oh, and dont worry about the pension. I got a cracking one already.
Can it be used for a savings account instead ??

Brilliant

hehe

The idea is new members may take your responses in their threads with more credibility......although if they see this thread and the fact most of your posts were complete tripe, then they may ignore your advice

oh, the 1,000th post only gets the boxes for the player and watch.....and the form to sign for the pension.....at 3,000 posts you get the mains cable, the battery and the pen to sign the form with......etc

What about when the powers that be rejig your post count?

Do you have to give some of the stuff back?

shahedz · 10-12-2006, 12:58 AM

i always prefer trading on the forums with senior members, most senior members value the forums so wouldnt risk getting banned for the sake of ripping someone off

hot-fuzz · 10-12-2006, 1:31 AM

Ive noticed recently there are people registering JUST to sell things, which i dont think is the reason to join, personally.

I think someone is trying to sell some decks and asking the buyer to pay £300 to a complete stranger.

i always trust a Senior Member. God love em

oh, Hornydragon i believe got a BMW Z4 when he hit 20,000 posts a while back*

(*disclaimer: only joking, just in case someone furiously tries to post 20,000 times and then sues for RSI when they dont get the Z4....heh)

venablesphil · 10-12-2006, 3:53 AM

And I was just about to start typing away as well, need a new car!! God, just think how much time you would have to spend typing to get to 2,000 posts! I wonder if Hornydragon has any skin and flesh left on his finger or is he just typing with bone!!

Once you reach 1000 posts then you are allowed to post carte blanche on any subject and in any manner which you deem appropriate - without fear of suspensions/bans/warnings............

Senior membership also grants you an automatic place at the next AVFLD night out in Manchester.

Only when you get to 1,000 do you receive the secret that unlocks the code 'AVFLD' and grants you the night out of your dreams.

Senior members AshworthAcca, Woodywizz, Signs, domtheone and myself have all unlocked this code back on the 24th November - superb.

When i hit 1000 posts I got my HD-DVD player. However when I went back down again Stuart and Ian_J turned up at my door demanding it back. I tried to reason with them but Ian_J gave me 2 good reasons not to argue.

My time in hospital taught me a valuable lesson.

i saw Ian J shopping in town last week, he's smaller than the smallest member of the cast in "The Time BANDITS" : ...did he bite your ankle

note: ive never seen Ian J, i would imagine he's standard height (and a top bloke for seeing this as the naff joke it turned out to be) and not banning me

Woodywizz · 10-12-2006, 7:04 PM

Signs, just because you were booted out of "The X-Factor" last night, this does not allow you to insinuate that the mods are one of these :

They know where you live

Dynaudio Desire · 10-12-2006, 8:28 PM

I would have hit a 1000 posts, if I didnt loose 300 odd of them!!!

Where did they go? hmmm

I'm of the opinion that people should be members for a set amount of time and have posted a certain amount of times.

This isn't sour grapes from getting stung in a deal, I've had nothing but good experiences on here.
