    Thanks for being a good sport about it guys...


    Again, those titles are not important at all.

    We all had them when we started out, and maybe Ryan put them in place because he has a great sense of humor.


    The way to build a good reputation on the HAMB, is to post good quality content.

    And with the postcount, the titles wil automatically change.
     
  5. If you want it to really count become an Alliance Member.

    I don't know, but I think I'd rather stay a FNG, than a Grenade Inspector:
    Those guys didn't last long when they started manufacturing them in China!

    Yeah. Is kinda stupid. Is an old school way of trying to get people to participate. I could rack up 2500 posts in like a day. If I wanted. Mods would hate me though.

    It's not like anyone of serious maturity puts much meaning into those titles anyway.

    Alliance Members is cool though if you're on the site enough and have 50 bones to blow.

    I always call it Honky Ass Message Board.. :) Is a more awesome name.

    Is what happens to Senior Members?

    Ryan has stated elsewhere that the cut off for the vehicles is 1965 and there is an allowance for those whose model years run over this a bit
    So your 1965 Stedebaker is all OK

    Do posts in the "groups" count to your total? I hardly post on the main forum but post a lot in the 52-59 Ford Group. I thought I would have had more posts by now..

    thanks,

    Second Amend, good point. I didn't realize that you could join/pitch in as an alliance member until a week or two ago and joined immediately.. For those that care it will change your title and most importantly help fund the board.

    I feel the same thing also applied to the late great Jimmy Clark, in 1964 at the Indy 500. What a driver he was also.

    It is a sticky, under the introduction. If you have a question, search first, then ask.

    From Jalopy Journals meager beginnings and request to Ryan for a message board "here's your hokey assed message board" something along those lines and the name stuck. What a wealth of info it has become from fng's, newbies, etc. I learn something almost every time I log on.
