Just wondering how the member titles on this board are set up... on most boards, you get past "Junior" when you do 20 or 25 posts...

just wondering how this is set up.

I don't remember but I think it is this:


if(no_post<=50)
Title="Junior Member";
else if(no_post>50&&no_post<=100)
Title="Member";
else if(no_post>100&&no_post<=1000)
Title="Senior Member";
else if(no_post>1000)
Title="NLC"; // NLC mean No Life Club

Can anyone optimize the solution?

Below 30 = junior member
30-100 = member
100-1000 = senior (over 200 to get an avatar)
1000-2000 = NLC
2000+ = ???

2000+ = NLC

Coolin: Thou has erred. 1000+=NLC and from a mystery number about halfway between 1000 and 2000 you get to make your own title

I didn't err.

If you do not change your title, you are still NLC at 2000+ posts. The option to change your title happens at 1500 posts. It's a secret though, so don't tell anyone. Shhh!

I say we should have more titles...

Coolin

Get about 1100 more posts and you'll have all the titles you want.

ahh, thats no fun..

besides, i don't think i'll reach 1500 posts for a long while... maybe not for another year..

of course, I guess you could make a perl script that sends a message to this group somewhere, once every 10 minutes.. but, I doubt certain people would like that... hehe

maybe it's just me but 'member' isn't the biggest complement in the world. It has at least one alternative slang meaning

i wonder how much of the system resources would be taken up if a post came into this board every 100 ms. the mysql database would go caca coo coo.

I find that offensive. My sensitive young soul is damaged forever.

<?php
for ($meow_lives = 9; $meow_lives > 0; ){
if (pissed_off($meow) || hurt($meow)) --$meow_lives;
}
?>

:p

I don't know php, but it looks like there's a syntax error in there.. I could be wrong though..

niv

pissed_off and hurt are predefined ;)

stu

i think it's with your 'for' loop

I think that expressing yourself with a programmign language is dumb. But here is mine:

CLS
SCREEN 12
PRINT "needcgispace needs a life?"
INPUT $answer
IF $answer = "yes" THEN
PRINT "Yes, he does need a life."
END
ELSE
PRINT "Quit Bull----ting"
END

BTW That is some buggy Qbasic... the spacing didn't work out at all, and there is no END IF..., SO instead of fixing it... I am just leting you guys know.

niv

:p

there are no $-signs in front of variables in qbasic.

<?php
$meow_lives = 9;
do{
if (status($meow)=="pissed_off") || status($meow)=="hurt")
{
$meow_lives--;
}
}
while($meow_lives > 0; )
?>
This should do it.

I don't see anything wrong. for loop is fine.

Stu, did you delete you post?

whatevah

hmm.. I like it better this way...

#!/usr/bin/perl


while ($n < 100000) {
if ($cat = "happy") { print "meow"; }
if ($cat = "angry") { print "rowr"; }
if ($cat = "hurt") { print "meworw"; }
$n++;
}

heheh

Your stupid script needs a variale for how much cake I'll get! :eek:

whatevah

which "stupid script" would that be?

my perl script, or somebody elses script?

speaking of my perl... boy, that would really be interesting getting 100,000 lines of text.. hehe

oh... here's a tidbit for ya...

do you know the maximum file size Internet Explorer can handle?

1,800,000 KB... well, version 6, can... hehehe

I decided to test that script, and Internet Explorer stopped accepting data when it reached 1,800,000KBs... cool, huh?

the odd thing was... neither my ActivePerl, or my "Personal Webserver" crashed.. I figured the cheap Windows 2000 personal webserver would crash.

there are no $-signs in front of variables in qbasic. Damn... you are right, it's at the end... ----... all these 'advanced languages' are screwing me up.
