Does my title change? If so, what will it say?

If it will change to say something cool, maybe I should make random superficial posts to hurry it up?

You will become a "Senior Member", up until you get 3,000 posts, then you become a 3K club member

That is very interesting. When I make this post I will be 970, almost a senior member

I'm not exactly thrilled to be "demoted" from senior member to a pedestrian sounding "3K Club Member"

3K sounds too much like KKK if you get my drift.

Seems like they could come up with a more prestigious sounding title like "Obergruppenfuhrer" or something nifty like that....

"3K Club Member" doesn't sound like the KKK to me. It could be something like
"People who spend too much time on the internet"

That's easy for you to say, won't be an issue for you, till years to come.

You know what they say, doesn't matter what the intended meaning might be, as much as how someone MIGHT find offence with it. And today people seem to be looking for every opportunity to play victim...

It might not take me that long to get to the KKK designation if I keep making random superficial posts.

Well, it appears someone high up must read my posts. My sobriquet has been changed to "Forum 3000 Club Member"... Suddenly I feel empowered! thanks to "whoever"...

But to some you'll always be just 3K

There used to be a nightclub in Atlanta called the "24 K club", that had a real upscale feeling to it.

Hi

I used to be. I drove big rigs in the Central Valley of California delivering fertilizer to farms while I got my BA.

I picked up some bulk walnuts in Visalia. I took a lot, I mean a lot of Anhydrous Ammonia to Boswell Ranch in Handford, so kind of close to Visalia.

This is where I got my ammonia, and that is the style of tanker truck I drove. It might be one of the trucks I drove

I remember the over powering aroma of onions driving through that area in late summer. My sister in law lived in Porterville, so that was drive-thru territory for us.

8. Do not post simply to raise your post count. It's not a contest to see who can post the most. It's quality over quantity.
Am I guilty of this? I will stop once I reach 1,000.
Must our post be quality?

They're talking about posters who go everywhere and post tons of material just to raise their count.

This isn't the problem!

I heard you get a fancy commemorative pin, a stiff handshake from a member of the 3000 club, and your name gets posted up on the bulletin board in the basement of TJ's second favorite delicatessen - but due to cut-backs some of this may no longer be part of the program.

I had to play games all over this site to reach my senior status. Only took me 8 years to reach it. I doubt the site will still be functioning in 24 years for me to reach the KKK club.

I get back to you with my wishes.
