Hello people,
I would like know what do you think about forum ranking. When I came here some month ago, all the pharaos wrote their names in top 20 rank. Now most of them are out of this rank.
I've seen there are more fellows answering in various forums then in the past: is true?
Is it easy receive a good answer?
I'm satisfied because always I found a solution of any my trouble, sometime in right answer, sometime in a clue or in a idea.

> Is it easy receive a good answer?

My experience is that it depends on the questioner.

Some of them give out very little details and one really has to pull them one by one out of their nose. Others seem to ignore advices, don't come up with results and just ask even more questions.

So: 'it depends' ;-) Are you surprised now?

[Marco Santerre]

Congratulations Mark..

Not a small feat that you accomplished there. Very well done.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Hey Wheels^hy^wMark! Congrats. Well done.

If you want points, go to the business from and say Hi :)
If You need hight quality answers to good questions stay here, and listen to Mark

BTW Antoniov, could you please post the congratulees home URL in the congrat post next time? So much easier to track the values ...

Am I being too predictive in saying "Whatch Him"? Or should I say "Watch This!"

[Simon Hargrave]

Good show, Mark. Great to see so many people able to dedicate time and valuable knowledge to those that need it!

[Kent Ostby]

Congrats Mark.

Thanks for all your contributions to the forums.

Best regards,

[Antoniov.]

Merijn,
my primary scope wasn't give congratulation to somebody but to allbodies. I'm happy to give my own congratulation to Mark but I think all people in this forum have reach a good result :-)

Antonio Vigliotti

[Geoff Wild]

Congrats Mark!

Nice achievement!

As far as points go, here's my take:

Current:

ITRC Pro 250 points
ITRC Graduate 500 points
ITRC Wizard 1000 points
ITRC Royalty 2500 points
ITRC Pharaoh 7500 points
ITRC Olympian 20000 points

The numbers don't follow a pattern - I like logic and patterns....I think it should be more like:

ITRC Pro 250 points
ITRC Graduate 750 points
ITRC Wizard 2500 points
ITRC Royalty 7500 points
ITRC Pharaoh 25000 points
ITRC Olympian 75000 points

Unreasonable? Maybe...or maybe we need a couple of more hats?

Rgds...Geoff

[Dave Unverhau_1]

Congratulations, Mark -- and thanks for all the "good stuff" on the forums!

Best Regards,

Dave

[Jeff Schussele]

I kind of agree w/Geoff - but have a diff spin on it.
Since we are in IT after all....

256 Pro
512 Grad
1024 Wizard
2048 Prince
4096 King
8192 Pharaoh
16384 President (Anybody have a better one?)
32768 Olympian
65536 Deity (or how about "Q" for all you Trek fans?)

My 3 cents,
Jeff

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Antoniov, I understand ...

Jeff, I surely like those bounds, but I would rather _not_ (ever) become President. And I cannot see how a President outranks a King.
Presidents are known to be selfish stupid morons with only little brain. A kind of Winnie-the-Pooh, only less friendly.

I have no relation with anythink resembling StarTrak, so I have no idea what a "Q" is. Q reminds me of James Bond.

My stat scripts still use "Frantic", but the highest level could be "Woman" :)

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Antoniov.]

Geoff,
I think will be a few problem setting your pattern :-(
some people near the hat will be hungry :-?

Jeff,
I like idea of prince hat.
My pattern is
Prince 2,000 pts
King 4,500 pts
Pharao 10,000 pts
Emperator 20,000 pts
Olympian 45,000 pts
Star trek 100,000 pts
