Am I gonna Die!


hello to all,

last week my Yahoo mail was freely upgraded to 100MB with 10MB limit per message.

Today, My status as a "NEWBIE" changed to "MEMBER".

how and why did it changed? Is this a SIGN that the my END is NEAR!?!? (I PROMISE I WILL CLEAN MY F'KN ROOM!)


Can please someone shed light over this!

Thanks....

Literal answer: Yes, everybody does. It's just a question of when and how.

Serious answer: your LQ status is "Newbie" between 0 and 29 posts, "Member" between 30 and 999 posts, and then you have a choice of either "Guru" or "LQ Addict" at 1000 posts or above. -- J.W.

2 things: the first is your thread title. You really need to work on it. This is a help forum and anyone looking through the threads would have no idea what your thread was about.

Secondly Linux-General is for technical questions about Linux. This thread does not belong here, so, away to General with you.

There's a thread around for a new title at 10000 if you're not already a mod. Right now the three that have that insane friggin' integer beneath their names are mods. Who knows, maybe Jer's got LQ crack monkey waiting in a forlorn little mysql table somewhere waiting to see light?

Cheers,

Likewise -- I would pay to be able to use "LQ Crack Monkey" as my status. Maybe Jeremy could make that an option similar to Contributing Member. Man, that would just be totally awesome. -- J.W.

Just a lowley guru here. I'm happy with that though. I just like helping when I can, getting help when I need it. That was a lot a while back.

Yeah, gmail is going to be huge and they are worried. So far I'm thoroughly impressed. It is 1,000,000x better than my hotmail account. Now if I could just give up the e-mail. It's a pain making a switch when you've been using it for so long and have it registered on so many sights.
