I thought maybe we'd go "up in the ratings" as the number of our posts increased.
That's exactly the way it works. I changed "Superman Fan in training" to "Jimmy Olsen Fan Club" - I thought it was a bit more appropriate. That's what I was referring to when I wrote that "I came up with something else."
If we are allowed to pick our own honorifics, I'd like to have "Defender of Kandor."
I'd prefer to keep the automated ranking system. I think it's a lot of fun on other boards that I've seen, and if everyone could just pick their own rank, it would take away the whole purpose.
But a pretty good case could be made for giving you special status. After all, you've been with
Superman Through the Ages! almost since the beginning and have helped out a lot with it. You've also contributed a
fantastic Superman website and countless excellent posts to the
old forum and to the
kal-l mailing list since its inception, lo those many ages ago.
So -
congratulations and I trust that you'll continue in your duties as defender! :-)
