A lot of the newer people here judge a persons worth by thier rank.

Some of the older people, who should know better, still judge a persons worth by thier rank.

The best of the people here judge a person on what they have posted, not the colour of thier name. Personally, Sniper and Er-no are not what I consider to be 'noteable' - ie, the people whose posts I will read no matter what.

This is probably because they were 'before my time'. I accept that.

In my eyes, Belldandy, Mr. Happy, and unknown kernal are noteable, because I like to read thier posts.

Thats just an example.

Basicly, I want to get this way of doing things across to the newer people. So I propose that the 'good' people on here take the words 'noteable', 'reguler', and 'newbie' out of thier posting vocabulery. That way we set a good example, by not discriminating at all.

If anyone asks why peoples names are in different colours, just say that we don't know, it's there for administrative purposes.

This is just an idea. If there is a gaping flaw in it, please point it out to me.

Hope that sorted things out.

Not really, people like you forget the meaning of the word Notable in these forums.

Whisk yourself over to what notable means on the 'top posters' page and have a read, actually I will do it for you:

'One new "Notable" is elected every three months, in respect of their contribution to making the Future of Gaming forum (in the Open Forums) a very special place.'

I talk about games, because thats what made me a notable. The future of gaming forums.

Nuff Said.

I really don't mind people having their views, and saying that perhaps they don't really think any of the notables deserve to be, but then saying that they should have their status removed is disgusting, to be frank. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

You're right, I havn't read most of your posts in Prime, becuase they're about games. I'm not really that interested in games. I didn't say that you didn't deserve to be notable - you obviously do, because people voted for you.

It's just that, *for me*, you are not a notable because you talk about games more than anything else.

Hope that sorted things out.

Stryke, to be honest, you don't know Sniper.

Maybe he wouldn't be voted a Notable now, but hey, maybe he doesn't want to go on the forums now. But before you were around he made a valuable contribution, and that is why he is a Notable. I voted for him, Grix voted for him (in front of me! {:)) and to be honest there was no arguing against the decision to make him a Notable.

Your personal opinion, and I bet you have never tried reading my posts in prime. Go on, go have a bloody look at the gad winners list and read the two that are on that.

State of forums -

It needs something, a new look or idea or something.

I can't really be bothered to think, its my birthday and insomnia is keeping me awake.

Oh smeg... life is smelly.

Mouldy cheese I am impressed, for your belief about the forums, it seems as if you prefer everyone to be equel as if there was no notable, regular, newbie rating system...

This is the belief of the Notable Hunters...
