Honourary Signature Avatars?

Maybe something cool on the forum to do would be for someone to make dedicated signature avatars for those people who are true members of the forum, possibly those with 400-500 posts or more? It would be a nice gesture, and I'm sure people would like a Lugaru-styled honourary avatar.

I don't get what you ar trying to say. Are you asking for a certain avatar to be given to people with XXX number of posts? Or are you asking for a certain signature to be given to people with XXX number of posts? Or both?

In either case I don't see it happening largely because the variation in avatars is pretty cool, and most people with 400+ (as you suggested) posts already have avatars of their own.

I think people would be offended by my art skills when I presented them with their personal avatar.

Heh, I kinda like the idea of a that kind of gift for hard to the core wolfire forumers/fans, but who would be making them? :D
Good art isn't easy to get for free nowadays (unless if made by a fan :P)

Whatever you think, Bob. I'm not going to be the one making them if anyone makes them, because I suck. So, any suggestions or opinions are welcomed. I was just making a suggestion. It's really just an idea for someone to possible undertake if they like the sound of it.

Why not just a thing that says something like "Gold member" Or suchlike?

Maybe the problem would be not having enough dynamic members. There's either guys that come here and post regularly, or a bunch of bots and on-lookers that make an account but hardly ever use it (well, bots aren't really capable of posting). I think that every one would post alot more random stuff to raise their post count. (which wouldn't nesecarily be a bad thing...)

I don't know about an avater, that's too hard. Just a little icon that pops up on your profile, that would be your reward. But still, either everyone here would have one, or somebody would get the shaft, and that sucks.

Speaking of bots, there are nine pages of them registered, something has to be done.

When bots post, that is a problem, but when they simply register I don't really see what the big deal is. I think we can afford to wait for phpBB 3.0 which supposedly will have some real anti-spam features.

People aren't really THAT lame are they? It wouldn't be the most important thing in the world that would ruin your online social life (hah) if you didn't have it.
