How did I miss being an Original Member?

once you get it, you've got it. requirements for future people to earn status may/will shift, but Randy has stated several times that nothing will be taken away from you once you earn it.

Once you get it, you got it. I got it. I do not get the part about getting whether one has actually got it, or if getting it is part of getting to the point of getting it until you got it. Got it?

BTW, love your avatar!

Hopefully I can become an original member!

Thank you!

Now all I need are the feathers to go with the tar that I have...

Seriously. That is one superb ava-tar!

Here are some feathers to use with it, and if you stop by Chez Gargoyle I'll cook some fresh eggs for you.

I'm an original member now! Finally something my parents can be proud of!

There is a small lag. I checked this morning, learned a few things and answered a few threads, then noticed a Liked bonus and then an Original Member bonus status awards being added later in the morning.

Keep it up and you'll have to change your handle to highlyelite

When you're doing stuff in real life.

real life? I think I've heard of that somewhere, but I'll have to look it up on wikipedia to be sure.

New here - first post! This is a great idea.

its really interesting as you explore and realize the thought that has gone into this place.

Joining the quest for Original Member status conga line.

This thread cracks me up...as does the fact I had the same thought and clicked on this thread!! Like the integration and incorporation of social media techniques so far...good luck Randy et al!

Highly elite and highly addicted might describe a few people who visit this place.
The former can justify the latter, haha.

True... when I established my handle a few short months ago, I was only AA Gold... never even dreamed of EXP. Now I can't live without it.

Can I keep hitting refresh and earn more time spent viewing pages to get better status lol

I like this status system instead of solely going on posts.

Yeah! I'm really impressed with the whole forum format and user interface and I've only been browsing it for a couple of hours so far!

It's much, much more social. Very enjoyable.

Hehe I can just imagine now the "post runs" to try to achieve/maintain MilePoint status...

So many people have become original member already. it probably will take me forever...

Would that make me a post runner?

I believe all status are lifetime. No need to maintain as long as you keep your account.

All you need is 25 status points. You are almost there. Keep contributing and you will be there sooner than you think
