This thread with a post by Janilabo led me to the idea of creating a kind of "Old School" Rank. A Rank that will be given to those active users that have been here from the beginning. Poor Janilabo: 8 months on the board, not a single rank :)

At this moment I do not have a name nor an Icon for this rank. The rank wont grant any special priviledges. There are 100's of users that have signed in before say 2006-05-01, but only a handful still active. I would like to honor them.

EDIT: Gave JaniLaBo Helper cup.
EDIT2: Here are the first 1000 users formatted in a .xls :)

Fakawi, its an .ods not .xls :P

And, you're right about Jani, he did deserve something.

Missed the cutoff by 8 months :p

I think it's a good idea and you should probably go through with it.

Way too new for this :)

I think it's a cool idea

I agree :) maybe an old man in a wheel chair picture :) We should get an animated one :)

Yay I'm in the top 1000 :p

so mainly admins and some devs? I like the idea of the rank but is there really anyone outside of those two groups?

Noooo, top 1000… mainly devs and admins? Not many active people back from the old days are around you know. It was because mainly poor Jani(Labo) who has been around for three years never gotten any reward for all his input.


BTW: within two months this board will exist three years!

Drop party!

From: Smartzkid
Drop party!

Let's all drop 3000 coins!

Yay, I'm part of the first 1000 :)

I mean out of the top 1000 that are still active, are mainly devs and admins, not?

I know you are saying Janilabo is one but who else is active and is in the top 1000?

I'm not a dev, admin, or really even active. But, I was in the top 100 :P

I'm top 1000, and I'm (pretty) active. I just don't post as much as I used to.

I'm in there :d.

Meh, I'm only in the top 3.2k :(

From: Markus

Well it sucks to be you then.

From: mastaraymond
Well it sucks to be you then.

Well it does anyways, even if I was in the top 1k :(

I'm in the top 16,300 :P

Even though I am 2905, I still say it would be cool to have.

Would this be a good time to suggest a new "cut wrists" smiley?

Is it just me, or are all of your numbers off? Mr.Klean is 3355, HyperSecret is 18,652, and Markus is 8,539 (according to your profile links).

Yea, but asked Niels to ban it some time ago, haven't used it since I made Markus (the name sucked lol, 'testje', and only had 30 posts so cbf to PM an admin to change it).

Anyway, so you guy have any suggestions for a picture for this new Rank?

If you want to continue the Kaitnieks tradition of using pokemon for cups, you could use bulbasaur, the first pokemon :p

Definitely! We need the pokemon back xD
I'm all for the pokemon btw (if this wasn't clear)

I don't like the Pokemon's…

From: Wizzup?
I don't like the Pokemon's…

I agree.

I think we should get a gif of an old man rolling back and forth in a wheel chair :p

Or this on a smaller scale :p

Do you liek mudkips?

I think we should stick with pokemans.

Pokemans would be fun :)

It turns out almost half of them didn't post.

Here's a macro for open office.

REM  *****  BASIC  *****

Sub Main
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Sheet , Sheet1 As Object
Dim CellRange , CellRange1 As Object
Dim CurItem , NewItem, CurStatus , NewNumber As Object  
Dim ListNum , NewNum As Integer  
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets(0)
Sheet1 = Doc.Sheets(1)
CellRange = Sheet.getCellRangeByName("A1:E1200")
CellRange1 = Sheet1.getCellRangeByName("A1:E1200")

ListNum = 0
NewNum = 0 

For ListNum = 0 to 1198
CurItem = CellRange.GetCellByPosition(0, ListNum)
CurStatus = CellRange.GetCellByPosition(4, ListNum)
NewItem = CellRange1.GetCellByPosition(0, NewNum)
NewNumber = CellRange1.GetCellByPosition(4, NewNum)
If CurStatus.Value > 0  Then
  NewItem.String = CurItem.String
  NewNumber.Value = CurStatus.Value
  NewNum = NewNum + 1
End If
Next ListNum
 
End Sub

(It only copies over 2 columns because I quickly modified it from something for a grocery list, which just had items and amount needed to buy)

One of these maybe?

From: nielsie95


One of these maybe?

Hey niels, that's one cup you'll never have. ;)

Someday, I'll be an oldtimer too..
So what do you think of Yoda?

I like yoda

From: Hobbit
I like yoda

As long as it is not Pokemon… ;)
Anyway, it needs to be transparent. (As in, no white at the background)

Good size?

nice. although it would of been sweet to get some ancient pokemon or something, maybe a dome or helix fossil or a kabutops/omastar

Come on, you know it's sexy ;)

Change my vote to missingno please.

From: The Claw
Change my vote to missingno please.

Seconded. :D

EDIT: Although I haven't voted.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. Everyone knows Yoda, and knows he is old.

What? You haven't heard of ▀█▌’ M ▒▄▄▐▀? It's from the old Pokemon Red/Blue games. Anyone who's old enough to have played those would get it :p

Yea, I know him. And once again, it's silly. ;)

I'm old enough (actually a bit too old), just not 'cool' enough.

From: bullzeye95

Yah. How we gonna auto-implement this? Where are the icons situated these days anyways?

Uploaded to custom av's if I remember correctly

Sharpened, so its not as blurry (maybe a little oversharpened?)

I think it looks way to oversharpened, I think it looked fine before.

Yay Dakota to the rescue :p

http://www.srl-forums.com/forum/member.php?u=1350

Here is what it looks like

Yeah its pretty sharp….too sharp probs.

I was the 27'th in.:)

Well, I like the quality of it, but compared to the other cups, it surely is too sharp. Why not use Bullzeye's version, it blends naturally in with the others IMO.

True, true

Okay, switched to Bullzeye's

Check Dakota now…

http://www.srl-forums.com/forum/member.php?u=1350

Much better.

Somehow people found Dakota?

I tried to cover it up but failed miserably. How did they find it? I didn't say anything.

You indeed failed miserably. ;)
Just tell them it's Dankness' test account.
They already knew it, plus the cup isn't a secret now, is it?

Why didnt you ask them how they found out? Lol.

Who cares! Cups aren't top secret are they? Hm, we should do glasnost here.

Well is it a cup yet? Officially?

i havent looked at the members list fawki posted, but if i qualify, make sure it finds its way onto my cups

Not qualified, sorry

From: Markus

Can't manage to open that file,I feel stupid now -_-

-Tsn.

EDIT: Nope, I'm at rank 1900+

Dakota's kinda hard to miss…if you organize the member list by groups, he's listed in the admins. So if you are just randomly playing around one day you will find him, that's how I first found him.

Since Camo Kyle was in that IRC chat I guess this is a decent place to ask why I got an email saying my name has been changed to Camo Kyle on www.villavu-reborn.com?

Dear user,

Your name has been changed to Camo¤Kyle as you requested. Please not that the next time you log in you must use the new name or you will be unable to log in.

Cheers,

Hobbit made a mistake :redface:

I better get this award. :p

From: Hobbit

It's fine, I was just wondering mostly because I didn't want any security threats on my account.:)

So… only Dakota gets this cup?

Hahahah, well Wizzy? Is it full rank now?

Where's my old-timers award? I like this, I don't even have to do anything and I'm getting awards here. Someone add an inactive dev award please.

EDIT: I see it's in now. Is it auto-implemented after posting or did a kind moderator complete the jester for me?

Hmmm?

ODS? What do you open it with? Microsoft Word 2007 couldn't open it.

OpenOffice.org ftw!

Haha, from now on, I'm posting everything I can in open source program formats. :)

From: Boreas
OpenOffice.org ftw!

I learn something new everyday. Although, I can't say I'll be using it. I get all my expensive tools for free ;).

If a tool is expensive, it doesn't automatically imply it works well.
The only pain with OpenOffice.org is the time it takes to compile…
It beats MS Office in all aspects though.

Can I has cup? Me are oldtimerz :(

I don't think the old timer rank should get such a big avatar space…I know they have been here for 2 years, but that is big for a single cup that just shows you have been here for over 2 years, not even necessarily fully active.

You're just mad because you didn't join until '07.;)

Dang I didn't think anyone would catch that :rolleyes: (I have the space with the donator, btw).

woah i didnt think i was going to get an old timers rank! oh well another cup for me:D
