"SHOULD I GIVE UP MY NOTABILITY?"

One of the whole points of having notables is that you recognise a small group of people who make the forums worth visiting. Indeed, it there was a larger number of notables then there would be no point in having them. More importantly, notables are (supposidly) respected, members of the room who post good topics...

Now, as most of you know, I've landed myself a gap year job working down South for 9 months. Not only will I not have much time to post (stupidly, we're paid in advance, allowing us to drink on the company before we start!), but I won't even have a computer initially. Even when I do, I'll be sharing the line with other gap year students, so won't be online much (and I doubt we'll get broadband). All this adds up to me not posting very often (perhaps a few times a month every so often)...

After that, I have my heart set on going around the world during that summer and doing loads in interesting stuff. It won't be until the end of summer when I go to Uni that I'll have a net connection and a laptop to post with...

So, should I stand down as a notbale? Personally I think I should, but seeing as it's you people who (mostly!) voted for me (points at people who didn't vote for me!) I thought I should put it to your opinions. Remember that even when I go to uni I won't have so much time for posting... as well as academics, there'll be drinking and a few other projects that I'm working on (details to follow next year!). Either way, I'll hardly be a notable member of the forums any more...

Your opinions please...

Thats a good idea, they could have a memorial page for former users.
lol.

No, I don't think you should, as people will still want to see that name at the top of the posters thing under the notables names. If something happened where your name was stopped being a notable. I think there should be a new colour brought in for inactive Notables and Regulars, or maybe just a greyed out name which awaits for them to post again.

?!

Well, the idea is that I won't be around enough to be "notable" even with my internet access at uni

BTW, universitys tend to have PCs that you can use to access the internet. Perhaps you could use one of them and visit these forums?

errr... a slip?

Goatables.

It just sounds better.
Y'all are my beeyatches. So go bring the sugar home fo' daddy or I'll slap you really good.

Sonic's looking for attention... ;-)

Anyway, no one should be bothered about giving up notability. Like Grix said, it's little more than a highlight so newbies get an idea of who's lead to follow.

As for Sniper, anyone who doesn't respect him is a relative newbie.
He got his gold for a good reason.

And I know that some people made a fuss how the Sony forum decided to make Pro Evo their "notable representative of the Sony Forum" (the nitwits! :-D) but if you think about it, anyone who earns the respect of 20+ Sony Forum cretins (including a certain golden Wookiee Monster) is obviously worthy of a gold name.

Now lets have no more of this fuss.
