Title: Highlighted names?
Post by: Cool Mace on December 13, 2012, 09:40:26 PM
Why is that some names are highlighted? Whatevah is red, Nin is yellow... Is there a reason for this, or is it just something fun?

I knew Whatevah was an admin, but I wasn't sure about Nin.

That makes sense now.

What entails becoming a VIP? Just curious.

VIP users were/are essentially "trusted advisor status".

What would be the roll of a trusted advisor?

about 360 degrees.

The "role" of them is t show that the owners of this site want to recognize certain people for their knowledge and certain things they've done, that their expertise is highly valued.

Yea.

I've been a recipient of Nins "lashing" once. After that we've talked and I respect the guy.

Overall I think he's the only VIP I ever see on here.

I've had my fair share of lashing on here as well. It helps build "internet" character.

Nin is a great guy! He's done more than his fair share for CAP.
