As you can see, no one has made it to 4000 posts yet, but some are approaching this status.

Interestingly, 300-399 is the only non OTR lyric, but it rhymes/puns with "Such a Dizzy Height" from The Seahorse. Accident? I think not. Where will the next "accident" occur?

Tune in and keep posting for more news!

I think it will be "The Backstreets of Heaven"

Ah yes, good choice, but is it too good? I mean will they save that one for the 10,000th post or the 20,000th? Maybe there's an intermediary, something like All I need is Everything, or I follow you from town to town.

Maybe we shoud make a poll really quick.



All about the polls,
Mark

I agree. That one is too good.

A poll might be a good idea...

I actually didn't become a green-clouded swallowtail until I reached three thousand one hundred and some posts.

I think it is something like 3125. The next person who reaches it will have to figure it out.
Interestingly enough I was thinking about what the next one should be when there were people about to hit 2000, and I almost emailed drew and said he should call it "BPD." Well, great minds think alike, because a day or so later, Libby got the name "BPD."
So, since libs and I are green-clouded swallowtails, does that mean we have evolved past our BPDs? Are we cured? Hooray!!!!

Mark,

You can blame The Drew[insert TM superscript] for this. The original discussion is here.

I still like "If There's Anything Better Than This I'd Like to Know" but I guess that would take up a whole lot of space.

Very interesting read. So I take it some of you dropped a few diamonds when the rating system was changed? Bummer! Muwahahhahahaha!

regaining compusure,
Mark

I'm not sure what everyone would think about the idea, but another forum (before the orchard even existed) that I used to frequent gave the users a chance to have a personalized moniker after so many posts. And if you wanted we coud have some kind of qualifier like it has to be pulled from OtR lyrics and of course a maximum character allowance.

just an idea.
-dan.

I like the make your own idea.

D'oh! It was a mis-heard lyric. It's fixed now.

Lemme look into that... I see that there is an option to allow that in the configuration. What do you all think would be a 'reasonable' level at which this option becomes available?

It should be something large (considering some members are closing in on the 5000 mark.)

perhaps 10000, or 5000 if you don't feel like making up any more monikers.

Yeah, I will never get high enough to be able to, but 5000 sounds good.

Oh another forum site I visit, at 10000 posts you get to name your own level and I think you also get to become a moderator if you are approved. Then different mods run different areas of the forums.

I can't imagine any of us getting approved though...

Awww. I like Disney High better. It was our own. you know?!

10,000 seems reasonable to me... but can we get new titles a little more often than every thousand posts? Even every five hundred would be fun.

-libby the postaholic whiner

well, the Drew ™ is a very busy man libs. Do you think he can keep up with the two of us.
Oh and libs, RACE YOU TO 4000!!!

I hope, someday, to be a slut with a mission. And then no further.

You'll make it eventually.

Fire some ideas at me, folks!

I have some priorities slightly higher than maintaining #1 poster status, Aaron, but thanks.

Drew, I'll think about it. DustyVolume (I think) posted some ideas over in the Two Bucks thread, for starters....

Blam! Blam! Blam!


Just to mix things up, "Cheap Renoir, Pop Monet, Fake Van Gogh, and Blue Degas." could each spend equal time (about 25-50 posts each) somewhere in the four thousands. It could be like when you work Pi out to the one thousandth digit and you start to get into all the nines right around the 762 point. (!)

"Stray dog night-owl junkie"

"Are you my daddy"

"Breathing on a spark"

"I get to be guilty"

"I radio heaven"

"The back streets of heaven"

"Life Long fling"

"The Genius of Water"

"Help me tell the truth"

"Every line around your smile"

"Faithfully Dangerous" or, for those CJ fans "Dangerously Faithful"

"sorry for the smell of roses." From Karin's poem "One Liner"

"mystery is under-rated" From Karin's poem "Go Fish"

"All this untouched beauty"

"A gypsy to the bone"

"Flying kites at midnight"

"Above the lion's roar"

"Serene and strange but true"

"Through the ceiling of the stars"

"Wispy jet contrails"

"Etcetera Whatever"

"Lost and Lovely"

"Tycoon with a penitentiary"

"I'm so redhanded"

"In spite of the weather"

"The inside ghetto"

"Lazy as sin"

"A dispreputed fellow"

"Hello (your state here)"--could be a state of consciousness. eg. "Hello Insomnia"

"Fingers of magic"

"Beautiful dancing infidel"

"Pulling moonlight down"

"80% angel 10% demon"

I'm so happy being a slut I'm considering posting less.

Patrik

I don't know what the character limit happens to be, but here are a few ideas. Take them or leave them.

don't want to kiss you goodbye

drunk with angels taking flight

misfit(s) after midnight

on the backs of the angels

only just a guess

climbing branches and vines

sleeping on the beach

this beautiful delusion

(burning) moth without a flame

secretly just me (if Steph wouldn't mind sharing )

broken glass and a little cheap wine

bundles of contradictions

like a gypsy to the bone

I wanna be your messiah

mercifully sadistic

dancing naked now

Please please please please please use this one! I love that line! I love that song! Please!


Um, down, self. Down.

These are some other favorites. My original favorites list was slightly different, but my internet disconnected on me and the post was lost. (Arrgh.) Maybe we could start up a thread for everyone to choose their favorite five potential titles, and then The Drew ™ could have the final say?

If you get to the point where you suspect you're posting more per day than is probably healthy?

"I should love you less"

I'm not trying to be annoying, Drew (am I succeeding anyway?), but have you made any progress on adding new member titles, or granting a certain tier of the membership the ability to customize their member titles at will? Just wondering....

I'd completely forgotten about adding new member titles. As I recall, the issue was that we were running out of space for the 'pips' (the little red diamonds) and needed to find something else suitable for the next tier.

I liked the idea on the older thread about using personalized 'pips' for every different level. Especially those little dancing things from Besides.

Nothing really jumped out at me from Drunkard's Prayer, but here are a few possibilities, just to be fair:

carnival troubador
junkyard of love
pale blue angel
the rest is history

I really like:
80% Angel
Lazy As Sin (Duh)
My Mind Goes Numb
Thank God the Joke's on Me
Waiting for the World to Turn
Are You My Daddy?
We're gonna be alright
I'm not too blind to see
I'm drunk with angels taking flight
Let's pray that it engulfs us
I know a love that will not let me go
Angels who lost their halos
Tell them it's really real

Drew, where's the incentive to continue to post? It seems like "Lifelong Fling" really is lifelong!

I'm about to be a GREEN CLOUDED SWALLOWTAIL, and what do I have to look forward to after that?

I'm still trying to think of enough things to say to get myself out of the "Newbie" range ... this one might just do it for me ...

YAY!!! I did it!!!

<--------

GO MOM!!!

Hey mom, you'll be glad to know that I'm not A Slut With A Mission anymore. You can be proud of me again

Oh thank goodness - I can hold my head up in public again at last.

Mom

But if you keep posting like this, Terri, it won't be long until you're a Slut With A Mission!

Oooooohhhh..... the horror. I don't want a mom who's a ho.
Whatever shall I do.

I'm sure it will pass when it comes.
