What does posting over 10,000 posts get you? A slightly different title, that's all. There isn't anything else to attain once you get over 10,000 (except maybe a few new friends, the urge to cruise and maybe a few sore fingers <G>.

 

I'd like to clear up some misinformation from some of the above posts:

 

We started on AOL. At the time AOL did not tally posts.

 

We opened our web-based boards - both AOL and new boards are open at the same time. Members on web-based boards start at post #1 and are asked to register anew.

 

We eventually close AOL boards. No designation for former AOL users. We are using UBB software.

 

Eventually we switch software to Open Topic. All posts are brought over to the new format -- no one loses their post counts.

 

Again a switch of software, this time we bring over three month's worth of posts in June 2004. The magic date was April 1, 2004.

 

At the time of transfer, some member's posting counts may have been "grandfathered"...that is, they attained their status (3,000 posts) prior to our moving to our new message boards on June 2004. These members automatically received the title "Blue Ribbon Cruiser". However, their post counts did not reflect their prior posts...only posts made by them after April 1, 2004. No one had their number "tweaked". No one.

 

Those who have "Charter Member" in front of their club name are those who had attained 5,000 or 10,000 posts on the day that Cruise Critic moved to our new message board forums in June of 2004.

 

Currently, those who attain 3,000 posts receive the title "Blue Ribbon Cruiser". Those who attain 5,000+ posts on the forums will receive a title of "5,000+ Club". Ditto the 10,000+ level.
