Yesterday was a very special event. As of midnight I'm off the documented member ranks on GameFAQs and have got the title of "Ancient". Hardly the most flattering of names, but that means that my karma count is at over 2000, having had an account there for nearly six years. That represents a virtual eternity as far as most message boards are concerned.
And what happens when you get that? Very little. You get access to one more message board, and the uncomfortable image that everyone pictures your account going around with a massive white beard and walking stick. I was secretly hoping for a special option that allowed you to change the username that you thought was funny when you were 16 and still in school, but that wasn't to be.
All I post on these days is the Classic Gaming board, and that looks to be going soon, as the new site owner had the bright idea of changing it into five thousand smaller boards for each "era" of games. He didn't bother to inform the inhabitants of the board, and instead we got a generous three and a half hour time span to discuss it while the people on the Next Gen board filled up all five hundred available posts with their thoughts on whether NGG should stand for "Next Gen Gaming" or "Next Gaming Gen".
At this point it may seem appropriate to go "LOL INTERNET" and post one of those stupid cat pictures, because illiteracy is quite fashionable these days, but I'm still quite annoyed about it.
Oh, and it was Whitney's birthday. I knew there was something else.
