    Congratulations to the new Forum Guru

    There have been a few new Forum Gurus added to the list .. Congradulations and well done on reaching/fulfilling the required secret formula!

    Is that snow or ice in the background of your mug shot?

    Re: Congratulations to the new Forum Guru

    I think I figured it out. It's something like 700 days and I don't know how many posts, but I got it before I reached 1500, so I'm guessing 1000 or 1200. I got it on my 700th day here.

    I think Gurus should show a mug shot - other wise who would have believed that DO is really a donkey

    Re: Congratulations to the new Forum Guru

    It can't be 700 days because I seem to have gained the title sometime in the last couple of days and I'm a long way short of that number!

    Mods have override ability and can name gurus as they see fit. I earned it for time and service, you earned it for actually being good at it.

    Re: Congratulations to the new Forum Guru

    R - I campaigned for your status change months (and I mean months ago) if only because it makes the rest of us look better when we defer to you

    I'm glad to see you've been "upgraded" manually - not that you need it of course...

    That said, IMO, it would be nice if you detailed any other notable awards you may have in your signature ...

    I'm wearing my MVP vest - what more do you want?

    Oh, and thank you to whoever was responsible!

    I'm glad to see you've 'fessed up to your MVP status romperstomper though sad to see you opted not to keep your logo...

    Always good to have contributions of your calibre on the board R, long may they continue... we've lost the regular input of too many MVP's of late.

    The logo is a bit too 'in yer face' - I'll leave that to Richard...
    Perhaps I'll try and Photoshop an MVP tat onto my avatar.

    Re: Congratulations to the new Forum Guru

    R, another "milestone" conquered! For some reason the forum software did not automatically upgrade you when you were due for it, so some of the moderators have been wondering and pressing for a manual system kick for a while. Glad it finally took.

    Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Das war wahrscheinlich einer Deiner sehnlichsten Wünsche, nicht wahr? Leider gibt's hier keine Tshirts. Aber davon hast Du ja sowieso genug!

    cheers

    Re: Congratulations to the new Forum Guru

    Wie, bei MrE gibt's auch Tshirts?? Wusste ich gar nicht. Vielleicht sollte ich ja da auch mehr posten.
    Aber irgendwie fühl ich mich da nicht wohl. Obwohl es das erste XL Forum war, das ich entdeckt habe. Excelforum habe ich erst ein paar Monate später entdeckt. Zuerst habe ich mich hier nicht so gut zurecht gefunden, aber nach einer Weile schlug das Pendel um, und ich hab seitdem MrE nur noch dann und wann besucht.

    Meine Tshirt-Sammlung wächst. Jedenfalls virtuell. Angefordert habe ich das Excel Master Shirt -- na klar, das erste -- aber wahrscheinlich werde ich Sage bevor es ankommt. Noch ein paar Tage wie heute und Sage ist nicht mehr weit entfernt.

    Anyone following? I'm happy to see that Google translate can't keep up with normal language.

    Here's to human translators!

    well done, well deserved congratulations. I don't know how you guys find the time to clock up your posts, but thanks for doing it.

    I have been here since 2005 and only managed 500.

    Meine Berechnung läuft zur Zeit auf Mitte August. Aber nur wenn ich das Tempo beibehalten kann. Leider hab ich auch Arbeit zu tun Und wenn die anderen alle aus Kalifornien zurück sind, schnappen sie sicherlich so manchen Punkt auf, den ich in den letzten zwei Wochen locker machen konnte weil sonst keine Sau online war.
