Forum Lurkers

[nick-w]

All new forum members are now known as Lurkers:

Lurker

n. One of the `silent majority' in a electronic forum;
one who posts occasionally or not at all but is known to read the
group's postings regularly. This term is not pejorative and indeed
is casually used reflexively: "Oh, I'm just lurking." Often used in
`the lurkers', the hypothetical audience for the group's
flamage-emitting regulars. When a lurker speaks up for the first
time, this is called `delurking'.

You will have to post over 20 times for your title to change.

Well acctually the correct term is more newbie than lurker. A lurker is more of someone that is either to shy to talk or has jack all to say about the subjects posted, like many here..... :smt003
Personally, I doubt that that will motivate people to post more anyway... but its worth a go....
What about custom titles? Are those going to be dished out too? :smt003

Is there anyway to allow users to choose their own avatars? Not the pre-set ones?
BTW what is the title for the 1000 mark anyway?

i can set it so that people upload their own avatars but it was abused so much before people can email their images in. Also we were threatened by legal action by intel for someones image.

Well moderators could take care of that and any legal action can be simply sorted out by simply removing the avatar per say. Must lurkers dont bother with the simplest of avatars anyway.
You could make a good size restriction and stuff like that.
All in all, if people are sensible crap wont happen...in theory.
