View Full Version : Why the distinction/new title?? (Poll)

I'm not mad, angry or anything, but I've just seen the new "title":
"Download Group Member"
could this be a way to draw a line between the famous two groups of members here at JW?
and could it bring the download group members more PM's asking us how to download the vids or to help them?
why did you put this thing to our ranks?

There always have been 2 groups , one for the downloading club members that can download things from the vault , that is all .

^^ yes, but I don't feel comfortable with that title :?
I think it will only make bigger differences with all JW's members, more noticeable and not that kind of person that likes to "show of" the privileges of being in the group B

Oh sorry , didnt read it very good .
Yes i saw it just now , i like to know if a member is on the vault for sure , but not with that big title , maybe something smaller .

its basically Download/Upload member group ....
its not really a distincion ... cuz its like ... make yerself worthy or being in that group ... cuz if everyone could download vids ... no one would post .......
EDIT :: k .. now i know what yer talking about ...... i dont see any good point of it either ... but it means yer an active member of the comunity ... :? :?:

don't worry, I?m not too good to give myself clear in spanish, neither in english
and by smaller... maybe our prancing horses could be yellow as now, and with the ppl that are not in the group B, something else
of course this will be read by TT or dan in a couple of hours

I think this is a good idea.
There's also another way to do something like this...
For instance: All the download group members could have their avatars in a
small gold frame.....or something like that.
Just a suggestion. I'm cool with things the way they are now...

I don't give a shit :)
Well, for instance this make it much easier for us to know who is in and who isn't.
Of course for 99% of the 200 or so members in that group I was able to tell even w/o the new second title, but this way it is easier when there are new potential members or new members.
Anyway antonio, everybody was always allowed to check out the group members from the start (link to "usergroups" at the top of the page), so the line was always there ;)

Well it looks a tad ugly at the moment i admit, but i can see the advantages for the admins, ultimately there are more important things to worry about in JW and life IMO :wink:
Dans new one is appropriate BTW "Insomniac Admin Video Pimp" hehe, i need the insomniac bit of late... too much work to do!!
why did you put this thing to our ranks?
Because Jabba wanted it, also because as TT said it makes it easier for us, I can't speak for him but no way can I remember all dl group members off the top of my head
As for complaining how it looks well, it might change yet as its only just been added, but really its impossible to please everyone no matter what is done so one or two complaining is not really going to change anything in that respect... I think you'll find it ends up how Jabba wants it to look ;)
Dans new one is appropriate BTW
its nice someone noticed I am often awake all night :P

i think the Admins are sick of getting PM's on how to download videos, so they figured if new members knew who was in the club, they could also harass them for video links.

I dont see why it should bother any regular user.... if the admin decides they need/want it there, i see no problem with tht ;)

LOL, sorry, free post to see what I have: I think it is just my old custom title.
As for the idea in general, I had not noticed until this post, so it can't be that bad...can it :?
If it makes the lives of Admin any better then i am OK with it.
edit: shit! I have it too lol

well anyway I thought of another way of implementing it that will look much nicer, unfortunately windows on my main system that I do all work from has just decided to take a crap so I cant change it for a few hours now until I backup some stuff and reinstall :(

Of course you know this means that Badmihai cannot post another "How to download videos" --> do you remember the one with the 864 clicks ... Everyone will be onto him :)
As for me ---> I feel naked, exposed even .... with my status visible to all :lol:

I think its great to have this. Even if you do get PMs by the newbs... I think its better for one noob to piece one member thean to make many others furious by reading a new "how to download" thread. Not only that, but if someone asks for help and I see that they have a lable showing they are in the Dl group, I tend to be more helpful as I know they are not here only to take stuff away from others. Its sort of a "heads-up" for me showing that the member with that on their nick gives a damn about JW.

If it helps the admins, it is okay with me!

Nope Phobo, that one, for the ppl who have a custom one was given by the admin team (not requested) ;)

ok ok, now I get it. Thanks, now to wait for the big guy if he likes the new title or gives us "VIP member", "DGM", "I spend too much time here so I have access to the vids" :wink:
Anyway antonio, everybody was always allowed to check out the group members from the start (link to "usergroups" at the top of the page), so the line was always there
I know, but not all the noobs went to check that out, but if helps you of the admin team, it's ok...
so, goodbye to my thread, and now can be locked if you want

Well its like the last option said: "I don't care, it was made by the all-mighty admins"
After we realy have no real say as to what the powers to be want, if they want to give is pink boaders with tassels, then so be it.......please don't do that :mrgreen:

01-24-2005, 08:07 PM
I dunno i'd say its a good change. It'll allow new members to see that there actually is a dl group and they can look to us for examples on how to act to join the group.

i think a more discreet logo/icon would be better. the current label puts too much emphasis on the downloading group. this website is much more that that ... to me anyway.
Agreed 100%. But honestly I can't be bothered by it, so whatever floats your boat....
But let's get to something more important, when will a new Photoshopcompetition start ? :D (sorry for the topic-highjack in advance, I am just too lazy to start a new topic on it.)

now thats the spirit .... :? .....
imo ... when a new member posts something ... 99% of the post made in tht topic is made by active ppl tht are members of the DL/UL club .... so when the new dude sees that all the posts are made by all the active ppl then he wouldnt feel like getting into the family ...... he'll be like .. ok guyz ya'll hang arround peace im out ...... and he'll be out ....
hope yer gettin me ...
but anywayz ... im all good at all the decessions made be the admins ...

FordGtguy, why were u stripped of the status in the first place? I like the new title, it doesnt bother me at all, but using some form of prancing horses would be cool i think. i really like that idea, and would be a tad more discreet, although i dont care much about discreetness... hehe :D

*BUMP*
ok listen up, the title has disappeared from your view as some people decided it they didn't like it and thought that people were being singled out etc.. which of course is bullshit, the reason for the extra title was so admins can easily see who is in the group or not and add (or remove) people from that group as and when they deserved it.
anyway, I have just recoded the pages that show that title it so that now it's only visible to admins..
have a nice day :)
