annnnnnd this one is just to roll me over into the '500' mark.
what am I now, a 'Leader'?
does this mean I have to act mature? does this mean I have to give better advice? does this mean I have to lose my precious monkey avatar?
</shameless plug>

Welcome to leader-ship.
Here's the manual.
Now that you are part of "management", I am affraid there need to be a few changes.
- No more having fun, you here to lead not enjoy.
- The tea breaks end now, must set an example.
- Advice from now on should be more wooly than actually informative. Try saying lots but mean nothing, that way if it goes wrong it's not your fault that they missinterperated what you meant.
- And yes i'm afraid that the monkey needs to be taken out the back and be shot. Sorry, I hate to do it but you know my hands are tied by company policy

Well done!

temper tantrums are now allowed...
and yes. I just need to have some quite time with my monkey before I set him free.... (read into that what you will)...
monkey biz
Just wait till you become a guru . . . then the fun really starts . . .
Congratulations, stick around, I'm sure we'll benefit even more from you and that pug-fugly ape of yours
monkey biz
Is there anything between leader and guru?
monkey biz
You have a responsibility now as a 'Leader' absolutely no more larking about or general frivolity can be allowed and you will watched by the moderator police at all times
first point to be dealt with is that as a 'Leader' you are no longer allowed but ugly and frankly deeply disturbing avatars so that will need to be changed straight away.
(oh well it was worth a try)
monkey biz
Guru is special. There is a thread around that discusses all that stuff.
monkey biz
Is there anything between leader and guru?
Yes lots of posts!
(Elder) as can be seen by Chris..S title
Do hope were not all getting hung up on titles and post counts :roll:

Indeed lets hope not, for it's a sad day when someone measures their worth in pure numbers.
The only thing about a large post count is that it would look strange next to a freaky scary monkey based avatar. The two are like chalk and cheese. I could never have them in the same plance. oh no not me.....

No was just wondering cos it seemed like a big gap between 500 and 2000.

I thought temper tantrums were just for guru status?
so, you've had your fun with your monkey and we look forward to your new "leader" stylee avatar.
congrats gleddy!

'Elder' is the last title to be gained (I think), Guru is bestowed.
'Elder' is gained when reaching 1000 posts.
Hugo.
and yes larmyia temper tantrums are soley reserved for Guru staus as I am often able to demonstrate and are one of the perks

Ah, I see

Don't mind me, just post-padding. :roll:
Re: monkey biz

Please?

Think you might be wrong there - take a look at Gleddy, Briski & Wolfcry.

yes yes, ok so I was having one of those bleary mornings, one of the other benefits of being guru/moderator is splattering remarks in peoples posts

Don't pose response as a question, it'll give him room to manoeuver, pose it as a demand!!
monkey biz
I assume he ment Elder...
monkey biz
Now or else!
monkey biz
Best.
Photoshop.
Ever
monkey biz
...so then I said, ...I said,
:lol: ...I said: "why don't you tell that to my mother-in-law!"

:oops: Oh blimey, I've wandered into the wrong topic mid-post again! That's what comes from guruship you see: you get lonely, wooly, absent minded and start talking to yourself.
Do you?
You do indeed - but it's not my fault!
So what brought you over to this topic then?
Well it's most bizarre. I saw this wolf you see, carrying a picture of gleddy in its mouth...
monkey biz
best use of photoshop I've seen in a long time wolf.
gleddy...get the picture?? no pun intented.
and I think the heat is affecting Roy. looking at the guru's I'm wondering if it is in fact a level we should avoid...

The only time I saw that happening was when there was discussion of a 'moderators' only forum... that was back when I was hardly going to make the cut of 500 posts!

I must say, my first assignment Monday morn was to dig a nice new avatar up, but after this abuse I may put it off for another week!
monkey biz
and moving on... I wish I knew how to do the quotes correctly?
this is wrong
this is fine
monkey biz
I might be late, but that's one helluva good use of photoshop.
Its made my day. Thanks Wolfcry911.
monkey biz
That Wolfcry911, is comedy gold.
monkey biz
Yeah right have corrected my deliberate mistake and do not expect it mentioned again.

I'm having a screaming temper tantrum now as befits my status how dare people point out minor errors, is there no respect left in the world.
Wolfcry you are a master of the shop of photo's if our friend doesn't tremble with fear I'd be amazed; yet still I am greeted by that disturbing image that makes me plaster post it notes down the side of my screen.
P.S [quote="monkey boy"] =

heehee . . . that's a special, Guru only feature

No, no: this is a Guru only featureposting a quote within a quote posted within someone elses post by a second party to the original post; Hugo wrote wrote:This is a moderators power or have I missed the point.

very clever though. Very clever.

Okay gleddy, your week is up tomorrow. I eagerly await your new avatar.

monkey biz
man... homework sux!
still first on the list wolfCry, hehehe! I haven't been on the forum all week due to offsite work commitments and maybe I am just resting before my next 500 posts...
must put on list for today.
monkey biz
I'll miss the drunken monkey.
monkey biz
nate, are you alright?
monkey biz
Well, there is something satisfying about taking advice from a drunken monkey. . . . I know I am in the minority, maybe I'm not alright. . . .
monkey biz
I just noticed his avatar blinks... spooky!
maybe he just doesn't to be the next one lynched for 'disturbing' avatars
monkey biz
:roll: Yeah, they blink . . . I changed it a few weeks ago, and it has been noticed. Hopefully the avatar mob doesn't come after me glazzies.
I have to know, what flavor of beer is your monkey enjoying?
edit: changed mod to mob
monkey biz
what flavor of beer is your monkey enjoying?
monkey biz
a summer staple in these here parts.
monkey biz
where are the gurus and why haven't they given you detention for not completing your homework assignment?!?!
argh! this place is going to the dogs!
larmyia
monkey biz
:whistle: Gosh; is that the time...
monkey biz
Right that's now two disconcerting avatars, I noticed the blinking eyes the other day and was most perturbed, as I noticed it in the periphery of my vision yet saw nothing when I looked directly, had me thinking I was going mad.
Moderators Note: Will forum members kindly be aware that avatars of a disturbing or downright ugly nature, that may possibly cause upset to members (esp Hugo) should be removed forthwith and replaced by nice happy fluffy images.

I had jut the same experience, the only slight difference is I love that crazey blinky eyes thing for some reason. He looks like he would be a fine upstanding member of any community, blinky eyed or no.
monkey biz
Here you go Gleddy, this is a suitable avatar for you:
The original is here:

but NO BEER!
monkey biz
Good find TPH.
Who do you reckon will get their photoshop to it first, that big bad wolfcry911 to have his wolf snacking on the bunny, or gleddy to slip a can of some decent beer into its paws?
monkey biz
lamest photoshop ever:

Does this affect my chances of getting top-notch CSS advice in the future?
monkey biz
Yes.
From now on, I won't warn you about the XML prolog, or lack of a doctype, or 400 validation issues, or box models . . . basically all the stuff I spout in every other post and you should all know by now
monkey biz
hmmm. not entirely satisfied... but you're stuck with ol' Jacob until I can find something that really satisfies me. :?
see what happens when you pressure someone?
