Post subject:  That thing on the left when you post

That thing that indicates wheather you are: novice, newbe programmer, programmer, is that determined by the number of posts you do?

why isn't the post requirement for that 1337? 1536 seems....not l337ish?

Post subject: 

look at the numbers 1337 whould not fit in as a posable combation.

128 + 128 = 256
256 + 256 = 512
256 + 512 = 768
768 + 768 = 1536

paulibian , i hate to flame at all , but there is no need to correct peoples spelling , only dan needs correcting , and those corrections should be put in mazers thread Very Happy

Yes. See signature for details. \/
EDIT: I don't think he was trying to correct Dan, I think it was an honest question. He could use my dictionary but that would really be way too much trouble because it only converts from English to Dan, and not the other way around. (Not because I'm lazy, but rather because once this is finished, everyone will be living under Dan's rule, typing all messages in Dan-speak)

no, doesnt work, when I tried that thing, I noticed that as soon as you delete a post, your post total subtracts.

Post subject: 

Thats weird, I have 100 bits, when i post, I don't get anymore, does the pocketsize have anything to do with a person's rank?

Author:  Maverick [ Thu Jan 29, 2004 4:07 pm ]
Post subject: 

In General discussion and spam you dont get bits for posting anymore.

Author:  Paul [ Thu Jan 29, 2004 4:18 pm ]
Post subject: 

This does have something to do with the topic though. And it is a sincere question.

Author:  Maverick [ Thu Jan 29, 2004 4:22 pm ]
Post subject: 

And the bar on left is your position like kick ass hacker is about half full, comp sci god is full, newbe is empty and so on.
