btw, nexialys is EXTREMELY close to master coder status :-p that transition is ready whenever he is though, lol...

edit: Paul is 3/4 of the way to master coder ^_^ although im assuming some numbers will properly augment once the new db is up and running (since ya shoulda been master coder long time ago from what i can tell)

edit again: this is too much fun, but i guess ill stop before i piss off brad again..hehe

>.> unless of course something got changed............

It seems to me that 3.5 hacks are not being counted which is a bit daft. But then we cannot really tell as the silly game is still being played, just post the qualifications and be done with it - what's the big secret about it ?????.

We were both kidding, I have changed nothing.

We don't post the exact qualifications because people would attempt to artifically inflate their stats in an attempt to reach the next title. I've personaly seen this happen with post-count based titles for years, so I have always agreed with the way it has been done, even before I was a staff member.

You are correct that some forums are not begin counted at this time, I won't go into the details but I will bring this up in the staff forum.

The general idea is not to modify our code anymore until we go to 3.5 gold, but rest assured that even if the modifications took that long to apply you would still get the correct title once said modifications are made.

Posts ???

I always thought it was based on number of hacks & installs

I'm somewhat curious as to how you artificially inflate your install count ?


( Talking of posts - why is your post count '???' )

It's not based on posts, I was using that as an example because it's something you see on just about every forum .

Trust me it's possible, again not something I want to go into in detail.

As for my postcount, I was bored one night, notice anything else?

Plus a distinct lack of style..

Hmm, is that in a literal sense too?
