ok,

so for some odd reason I find myself browsing through the member list and low and behold just about every other member is this

los3r
huggies.jpg



what's the point to even keeping them on there? is this now a neo-geo, huggies forum? do the majority of the member wear diapers?

I know it was done at some point to mark duplicate accounts, but i would hate to think form now on when I trying to look up a member to PM i have to browse through countless huggies ads.

Yeah - I think that anyone who doesn't post within a three month period should be axed. I wonder if this is an easy thing to implement?

well it is not so much that. I am sure some of them may still be lurkers, It is just the choice of icons that is annoying. it's a damn diaper comercial. I can see the Next NGH release

Samurai Shodown V Special sponsored by "Huggies"

when you find yourself cut open with a 8" gash, Why not use Ultra absorbent Huggies to help prevent those oh so messy Blood Splatterings. available now at www.neo-geo.com in orginal and classic style.


I guess 3 months is a good gauge though, I would really just be happy if the get read of the rating. Although scrolling through pages of non-active members is also annoying.

Kind of an odd reason to oppose the symbol, what would you propose?

Ah the creative way of saying "well if you have something better why don't you come out with it" ;)

ok well, first off Lose the Icon for the 0 posters. It appears that 30% of the members are going to be 0 posters despite whatever name or Icon you use to describe them. Having a Icon in there to point it our just looks silly IMO since it will be shown all over the member list.

second, Keep it Neo Geo releated. I don't know like

Samurai Spirits ZERO
Genjuro's Frog Washer
0 Mega Schmuck

anything but some 90's Hackers spelling of losers and a huggies icon.

so there is my suggestion on something better, Thoughts?

Opposed... lots of ppl take breaks from the Neo that last longer than that.

Not bad... I have a funny feeling that the boss of KOF2K should be worked in somehow. ;)

lurkers don't need accounts.


I beleive at one time they did. When I lurked here, I had to make an account so I could view the forums if memory serves me correct. This is probably the largest reason we have so many dead 0 post accounts.

You know, I just noticed this as well. Ive been a member for somewhile now, I take a break from visiting the site for about 8-9 Months now, I come back to seeing that the forums have changed a little, but I used to have at least 50-60 posts(I think) - now I have no posts, and ive posted about 5-6 times now and I still have 0 posts PLUS my other posts are gone now.


Is there any way that this Loser BS can be lifted from Myself and other members in a similar predicament??


EDIT - LOL ok so the Loser label just lifted... but its still annoying!

ok, fair enough - well anyone with under 500 posts who doesn't post within a 3 month period should be dropped then. There are tons of people who just join the site to sell one lousy item, and are then never to be heard from again.

That's a horrible idea.

It's not an issue of deleting people who don't post. It's a new issue with the upgraded boards. When you click on the memberlist you get like 500 images of Huggies. This never used to happen. In fact, the whole memberlist thing seems 100% inferior to what it used to be. I can't seem to make it sort the members at all anymore.

Bottom line: If it's going to mandatorily show ranking next to everyone's name on the member list, can the Huggies image.

I use to think the huggies icon was only given to a newbie who posted their first postr in the war room and then it came off after they posted in a different forum, has that changed now then ?

You could just do it by looking at their names. If they've been a member since June of 2001 and have only made 6 posts, it's probably a pretty safe bet they aren't gonna post anymore.

I don't understand why I have the huggies and why my post count isn't going up. I just registered last week and have been posting in the market forums since then. What is going on?

EDIT: I just found out. Posts in the market somhow don't count for newbies.

No no no this is off topic. We're not talking about what to do about idle accounts!

We're talking about how everyone with a ZERO post count has a special rank displaying a huggies picture. Are people not clear on this?

I agree. Maybe a six-month time period would be better. There are a lot of members who have never used their account and some who have only used it once or twice just to off load....I mean...sell their stuff.

I went ahead to change the topic to better reflect this. Although I dislike keeping 0 posting members around. My Main beef is with the Huggies los3r rating.

besides it appears the problem with the 0 posting members is more an issue with the upgrade and they way the board operates then anything.
