- less redundancy, cut down on reposts
- less moderation work
- an overall, tighter knit community

For those who had VIP II access, your previous VIP II standing will count positively for VIP III (renamed honored) and VIPOS.

In the merged VIP section, I will be combining similar threads soon. Currently I left them as is so members can better tell what's new. Finally, the new VIP section has some rules and they are a little stricter than before. We think participation is a must or this section will not be much better than the old VIP section. The new guidelines are:

-5 posts per year (not just thanks)
-3 clicked thanks per year

These will be checked in January and if a member was VIP the whole year they will lose VIP level access if the above guidelines aren't met. Also it will take more work to get VIP access now. The VIP access thread will be updated with the exact requirements. If anyone has access problems in the new VIP section let us know here.

i was VIPOS yesterday and now im VIP again?!?!

-There was a notice 2 months ago VIPOS requirements would be a modest 15 thanks/year. It was a stickied thread at the top in VIPOS, so not sure how you missed it. -d

How would I know where I stand relative to becoming a VIP member? Fir instance, how many more posts, or thanks do I need as of now? Thanks, Admins!

You are well past the mark, you just forgot to apply here:

We had no valid VIP applicants this month, so I promoted you right now, since it's just two days after the end of last month's intake. Normally, intakes are only once per month, usually the last weekend in each month.

An easy rule of thumb for VIP: If you have about 10 thanks and about 30 meaningful posts, you probably qualify for VIP. These numbers are displayed under your avatar.

that sucks that you can loose your status because you havent found anything new. I dont know how many members we have here, but most of them are very good at finding things, and i might not be the fastest one so im being punished for that, or anyone that isnt fast enough
