It would seem that the empeggers are now blue and some of the rest of us (the particularly cool ones of us, I'm thinking ) are green.

Whee!

Thanks! You, too!

I managed to get there before my new job actually has some real work for me to do.

It occurs to me that it's probably based less on coolness factor than ond windbag-ness factor. YMMV.

It's definitely not based on how useful our posts are. If it were, I'd be invisible or something.

Greetings!

I just turned green. Sometime today when I wasn't watching. But I didn't reach a new title... Soon, perhaps... What is the criteria for the colors?

Here's my take on the colors:

Yellow: You're cool.
Green: You're cool and you have way too much time on your hands.
Red: You're cool and you wrote the Empeg FAQ, or run the Empeg BBS.
Blue: You're cool and you work for Empeg.

Close. Red is the Admin/Moderator color now, instead of having two colors. Thus Dionysus should be red now. Rob, well, Up to him about red or blue, since he falls under two categories.

I implemented it last night, and the change only takes effect at that point.

Doh!

Terminator and I are both 'Old Hands' but he's green and I'm not...what's with that?!

I guess he must be special. Not that I'm bitter and twisted or anything...

Ah, so the titles and the colors do not have the same cutoff points. Tom, you might want to change that to prevent confusion.

Hmm, well, that would mean I'd have code to change

Right now, the color changes are completly manual. I picked 1000 because it was suggested in the general thread for the threshold of custom titles. I'll update the BBS faq with info about the colors. Glad everyone likes the changes, Mark was the test to see what everyones reaction was.

Oh yeah, bringing back the titles and colors was a great idea.

Weren't "titles" gotten rid of because of post count last time? So perhaps abusing things to change colors isn't the greatest idea?

Well, I will point out in defense of titles that this was about color, the color thing is new, and I actually don't care for the colors

Oh sure...respond with over-my-head Linux humor.

I suppose I should call you so you can laugh at me.

It is still a manual process, and I could always keep it this way to torment people for making posts like this <evil grin>
