Admiral

Post by Bill at BOATS 4 SAIL »

I've been on this site since 1/10/2004, and I'm only a captain. I should be at least a 2 star admiral by now. Why is that?

Bill,

You are the strong silent type.

You keep your comments concise, righteous, and infrequent.

Now Jimmyt on the other hand :o :evil: :D

I've been wondering about those crew designations and what they mean/ how they work.

Strictly by post count. Note that post quality is not a factor. Otherwise, as Ray points out, I'd still be a swab...

Well, lets see - at an average of 0.16 posts/day, and 15 posts short of “Admiral” status, that means we can expect a promotion in about 94 days. At the current rate, of course. :wink:

Be seeing you . . .

Heath came up with the rank designations, and how to achieve them. Russ just grandfathered them in.

Hey Bill,if the comments on your ingenious easy cleat,aka "Bills E Z Cleats",were counted in the format,you would have reached that milestone years ago.Im sure we all wish they were still available,as your upgrade to the Garhauer Marine Swivel Cams is a much better product.One things for sure,it was more of a labor of love for our sailing community than a financial gain.Thanks Bill, i never leave home port with out them.

Fair enough. I didn't feel negatively about the ranks, just curious.
