I'm no longer a SFMT at Ar's.. How did that happen? I don't have the required 'post a day'....

Odd. :)

However,  I have been registered there since May of 99.... maybe that's it. :)

You become a WAAV automatically if you become a [url=http://arstechnica.com/etc/subscribe/subscribe-1.html]Subscriptor[/url], or if you reach 175 posts, I believe the current number is.

That's Centurion status yer thinking of.  These next step after that is Praetorion, which you're supposed to get automatically when you're a Cent and you've been there 2 years.

I think they should create a new level just for PeterB, and no, I don't mean "Postcount Spammer Deluxe" either. :tongue:

I could think of a few choice titles for Fester Blatt as well...

"Ass Cork" comes to mind.
As do all the standard names you call someone you'd like to see hit by a bus.

Emphasis mine.

Slight correction: All levels above WAAV are not automatic and never have been. Teh Imperator has to assign them manually, but since he is by all accounts a very busy man, he may take a while. I for example was not promoted to Ars Centurion until about 20 days after my 1st Arsiversary.

This is why there are threads in the Lounge asking new Centurions and Praetorians to call in.

Note: Anyone know how many Senators there are? I think the number is less than 20. I wonder why they were all bestowed that honor.

First, don't rag on my title, smiley or not.

Second, isn't continuum the postcount leader at ArsT?

I'd prefer him not be hit by a bus because you can survive that, meaning he could still post.

IG: Yes, you are correct in that higher ranks are bestowed manually.  I didn't mean to infer otherwise, I was just being brief in my typing.  

What I should've said is that you're eligible for Centurion after your 2-year anniversary, and if you have >365 posts, with the caveat that it has to be done manually by the higher-ups -- but I was being lazy and didn't want to type that all out. ;)

...which was hopefully driven by Short Bus Driver, who subsequently plowed into the side of a fireworks factory, causing a massive explosion where they both perished.

Would that be satisfactory?  :biggrin:

Sorry for leaving you out, DeAthe. I knew you had a different name there but I completely forgot what it was.

That's ok, I'm easily forgettable? :) That, and I avoid the BF like the plague, it scares me.
