    Excellent idea, Rob. However I think your signed picture should be the one beautifully portrayed in Abstract Chat. Although, since it's almost Halloween, you could flash your willy and frighten any members of a 'leather shorts and moustache' persuasion

    In connection with posts no. 75 & 76 on the 'From the Grave' thread:
    http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...?t=3088&page=8
    ........I'd like to remind folks of what Stan suggested back in Post #99 a year and a half ago.

    3. Monthly report on new members signing up.
    4. The top 5 posters and top 5 thread starters get a star for the month to show that they are tops. The number one posters and thread starters get it mentioned above their avatar as ' Ace of the Month'.
    5. Come CHristmas time, the top three in each section gets a Christmas prize, donated by other members. Last year I won some HP ink cartridges. The top prize was a free dinner at one of the members' restaurant. Of course, that was an excuse for a forum meet, and many people showed up.

    Maybe something in there for us to think about. It's all for fun, and that's what it should be.

    Chris - is your 'From the Grave' posting inside the featured thread some kind of infinite loop regression thing?

    Just think of it as a little sensitively applied positive feedback (& feedforward)..........or maybe just the Hall of mirrors!

    I must admit I laughed at this quote from Marco:

    'I never really got the whole 'flat-earth' thing.'

    Me neither!

    I have been on bigger forums but have made this one my home.
    The total lack of humor in one much larger forum has really made me feel privlaged to be a member at Art of Sound.

    The one thing that would be cool is to be able to see our membership number in the order we joined. Like member 97 ect...

    As we expand and take over the internet makeing all other audio chat sights dissapear do to lack of intrest,due to our tolerant and fun loveing nature infecting the cyber world and one day bringing world peace.We can say "we where there". GOD SPEED ART OF SOUND!

    If you click on your Username the page URL gives your 'membership number... yours is 323, mine is 320... I hadn't realised you'd joined so long ago! You were a 'sleeper' for ages!
