New User Group

**Jason** · 09-09-2004, 10:41 PM

We have added a new user group to the forums. This user group is called simply 'Tech'. A 'Tech' is for people who help out through the forums. They have 500+ posts. They will be able to add their own personal avatar, and have an increased PM limit. This is to help thank the people who are willing to help out others.The promotion should be done automatically. If you find this does not happen for you, please let us know.

**DumberDrummer** · 09-10-2004, 11:55 AM

Apparently I fall under that label, but am I supposed to be able to see the mentor and Moderator forums???

dai · 09-11-2004, 11:36 AM

**kodi** · 09-11-2004, 12:40 PM

Hi,

I easily meet that criteria since I will probably turn 1300 posts in the next day or so........BUT, I don't see anything that will indicate the offer that you have talked about has taken place automatically, and guess I am not alone from reading earlier responses. Just thought I would mention that. I think you are going to see a flood of these. O.K., I let you know, your move!

**Fox** · 09-11-2004, 02:48 PM

I haven't seen anything under "groups" in my user info either. Perhaps it's because I'm already a mentor?

**Jason** · 09-11-2004, 06:11 PM

Currently there are 15 members of this group, they are:
angel
Chevy
Der Rabe
Doonz
Drupy
DumberDrummer
gotissues68
JAMMAN
johnwill
mark3567
RZA
shawnbowski
TheTechIsIn
Tweetybird
Valiant

The promotion keeps you in the primary user group (registered) but also ads you as a Tech in a secondary usergroup. One way to check is to see your PM limits. You should be able to have 45 max PMs now. You may also check to see if you can set your avatar.

elf · 10-08-2004, 07:21 PM

Elf, my friend....we be waiting on you so get yourself up here ASAP. Don't sweat work, it will still be there when you get this done. See you soon.

CTSNKY · 10-08-2004, 07:58 PM

You are on the security team.. you got the women instead of the custom avatar...

elf · 10-09-2004, 01:01 AM

ooh someone finally fixed the skin, I like it alot.

I'm working on it...maybe my custom avatar will get me some women too

CTSNKY · 10-09-2004, 04:27 AM

<takes a 360 degree look around.......twice......>

Women? I always told my wife I could trade in a 40 y/o for two 20's.

When do they get here?

**kodi** · 10-09-2004, 04:42 AM

Please let me know where you can trade a 40yo for two 20's,mines 57 does that mean I can get two 20's and a 17yo. (I wish)

CTSNKY · 10-09-2004, 04:44 AM

Well, you want to tip......let Danrak "keep the change".

elf · 10-09-2004, 10:29 AM
