    I just noticed this...

    I just noticed that I'm now a BPnet Veteran. I don't know when that happened, maybe it was a while ago and I'm just really unobservant, but I'm curious about what the criteria is. Is it length of time as a member? Is it number of posts? Is it amount of green dots? Do all of those lowly 'registered users' now have to bow down before me?

    Just curious is all.

    Re: I just noticed this...

    There are two routes to BPnet Vet. The original route was/is two years of membership and a minimum number of posts. (250, I think but I could be misremembering.) Newer members than that can achieve BPnet Vet status by gaining 75+ rep points.


    Congrats!!! While it doesn't entitle you to any homage, you do get some extra gallery space and PM storage.

    Means you have to send all other Veterans a snake! *races to wait at the door for the FedEx man!*

    Congrats on the new status!

    Re: I just noticed this...

    Thanks for the info and the congratulations, I figured it was a longevity type of thing, but I didn't quite have two years in yet (not until this coming sunday) and only have like 340 total posts so I wasn't sure which it was.

    Too bad about the homage, but if there are any Registered Users who really had their hearts set on it, I will be available to receive accolades and tribute at the usual time (Tuesdays from 7pm-9pm)

    P.S. Joanna, I tried putting your snake in the mail, but the postage stamps keep coming off.

    The promotion process has to be done by hand, so likely Raj went ahead and promoted anyone who was really close to get it all done at once.
