How come?

Nariel Starfire · 03-22-2002, 08:06 PM

How come Elvellon has 109 posts and I have 168 and we're both addicted, but Legolas has 135 and he's still and Elven warrior?

I don't think that the number of posts that you have has anything to do with the title that you ahve been given.

Comic Book Guy · 03-22-2002, 08:11 PM

It's Vbulletin see, there is a glitch that tries to Judge members and give them relevant Titles.

Twilight · 03-22-2002, 08:12 PM

That makes sense. Mine switched over once I posted, so maybe that has something to do with it.

This database thing gets scarier and scarier. It's just plain weird the way it seems to be thinking!

Laurelyn · 03-22-2002, 10:07 PM

Yes . . . I am very very scared now. It has titled me a spammer.

And the pink and purple is bugging me. And Teddy.5550154 up in the Entmoot logo thing at the top is creepy; I keep thinking his pic is staring at me.

Hey, is it at all possible to put into non-technical terms for us non-computer folk what's going on? Tater tried to explain it in another thread, but all I caught of that was that something screwed up.

Darth Tater · 03-22-2002, 10:11 PM

Ok, it's a bit complicated. As far as I can tell the database (a type of program) that runs Entmoot and was created by vbulletin has gone haywire. It's changed the color schemes, changed users titles, and is now mixing images from other net locations with images at Entmoot. I know, it's really weird! The tech guys who made vbulletin are just as baffled as we are.

***Tessar*** · 03-22-2002, 10:16 PM

Tater,
you did this didn't you?

well if you did (unless im wrong which i always am) CHANGE IT BACK NOWWWWWWW!

otherwise disreguard this please.

***Tessar*** · 03-22-2002, 11:20 PM

Look Tater, this is not funny ok.

please change it back.

about this being a glitch is totle trash, you need a better cover story next time.

and isn't it so, so, so..... incredible that this happens as soon as ben leaves.

Hobbit cant you do anything?

***Earniel*** · 03-23-2002, 05:39 AM

This is beyond the defined borders of ickiness. I bought it untill the title changed a bit to smart for a rampaging computer. Wayfarer a little girl? I won't fight the justification of that title but this is too convenient. I thought you admins could handle a little responsibility once the big boss is out of town...

markedel · 03-23-2002, 09:40 AM

Yeah that was creative, if a tad vindictive.

noldo · 03-23-2002, 09:58 AM

Tater, must it always come to this when Ben's gone?

noldo · 03-23-2002, 10:00 AM

Oh, yes... So naïve...

At least I have my status normal.

You mean this happened before?

Darth Tater · 03-23-2002, 11:46 AM

I don't know what you're talking about!

O-o-oh yes... Everytime Ben packs up and leaves the board under Tater's watch, Tater finds great amusement in messing places up. It's mostly been little things like playing with the board banners and stuff like that...

Let the little boy have his playtime.

***Tessar*** · 03-23-2002, 12:04 PM

Little potater you mean

noldo · 03-23-2002, 12:07 PM

Yeah, he needs to have more... freedom.

***Earniel*** · 03-23-2002, 12:14 PM

Really? I see Tater in a new light, now. This board is starting to look like a picasso....

***Earniel*** · 03-23-2002, 12:15 PM

Now he's in his purple period....
