This board is set up so that as you post more, you have a different title appear under your name. Here is the way it's set up today.

0-49 posts - New Band Member
50-249 - Golden Scarab
250-499 - The Whole Thing Started...
500-999 - Nite City
1000 - 1499 - Golden Days Diamond Nights
1500 - 1999 - Carmina Burana
2000-2999 - Riders On The Storm
3000+ - Ray Manzarek Guru

Also, after you get to 500 posts, you are able to add another title of your own.

Dave

Sorry don't understnand this at all.
As a new band member and a bit of an IT novice, are there any simple "helps" as to how to use this site please, the threads are a mystery to me.
Thanks
Willie dixon

Willie.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me with them and I'll answer. There really isn't a "User's Guide" for the forum anywhere.
Dave

guess I'll be a Golden Scarab soon enough

it would be great if LL have those too

OH man, I want to be that too, but the way I´m going I´ll be the scarab in a month!

As news pics up I'm sure your post count will as well

You´re only 6 posts away! maybe you can be a scarab today!

I'll try....see only five to go now!

i am Golden Scarab! keep goin´ Jimbo!

I want to be a Golden Scarab as well! I guess you need to roll 50 little balls of dung before you can get to that point though!

Cool! I like the titles.

I thought of making the new members "Dung Balls" but I didn't want to scare anyone away.
Dave

Ray Manzarek Guru

Oh, Dave, that would have been funny! But I'm glad you didn't do it.

If you guys can think of any other good ones, let me know. I'll take the best suggestions and add them in.
Dave

Cool!


I think if we all put our creative minds togehter, I think we'll be able to come up with good ones.

heres one: "Nite City test pressing"

That's a good one King Morrison.

For 5,000+ posts you could be: A Vox Continental

For 10,000+ posts you be just: "Psychadelic man, psychadelic!" (One of my favourite Ray phrases!)

At 15,000+ posts, you could be a 'Platinum Scarab'

At 20,000 posts, just ban the buggers for clogging up the message boards!!!

500 - 549 - Nite City test pressing
550 - 999 - Nite City

my ideas was bad ones? FamiliarFreak are those good ones?

I'm getting closer!

I was hoping for a few more suggestions. I'm not sure people will really "get" the whole "test pressing" thing. I was thinking of maybe adding a few more Ray solo lyrics like "I Wake Up Screaming" or things like that. Or we can just leave it "as-is". It's up to you guys.
Dave

currently they're fine by me, but of course that's just me

good ones!


And you Dave, still a Scarab? C´mon you´re the moderator!

500 - 1000 - Can play like Ray

C'mon, no one can play like Ray...

joke

Dig it....Man, its been slow the past couple of days...*yawn*
Anyone got some topic starters?

yeah, its quite quiet here... where are all Ray fans?

just a few more weeks and we'll start getting articles regarding the three new shows and then of course show reports and news on the new year

Yeah

Just embrace the community that is here. Don't worry about who's not here. Enjoy the company. It will pick up, it will just take a little time.
Dave

132 members for just over two weeks isn't bad

Hey everybody. Just checking to see what's hopping over here.

but only small amount or them are posters

I purposely made all forums readable by guests. Some people just like to lurk and not post. Others like to post. We welcome both types. If you look at the Lizard Lounge, there are usually 20-40 guests on at any one time. Eventually they will register. It just takes time. We're in this for the long haul.
Dave

youre right!

btw Dave, could you put that same feature to the LL?

That would be a great idea to have a forum ranking in LL. What about doing something like it in SG too?

SOme people are too shy to even post behind a made up username!

So Dave Please

Yes, please Dave.

I'll talk to the other mods about adding the forum rankings to the LL/SG.
Dave

That would be cool!

Yay! That will be so cool! Thank you Dave for talking with them.

Its cool that we can add own title!

Once you get 1000 posts, you can add your own title.
Dave

Cool
