Would be great if all the 'BIG THINGS' chimed in.

You'll have to ask Yadkin. Doug doesn't post here anymore.

Both Adog and the Dude are very thankful people, giving thanks 62 and 86% per post they make.

Although you've gotten thanks on 33% of your posts, you only average 2 thanks per good post. And you're not a very thankful person, giving thanks only 1 out of every 4 times you post. I think you have a way to go before you are legend.

I hope this helps.

You should probably also factor in the number of mentions

The key to success is to be a content creator. I'm not saying everybody needs to be a paid, professional writer... that's not realistic as most aren't cut from that cloth.

But I guarantee that cleverly crafted, high quality parrot threads are loved by all.

If you're the Forum Leader, have stacks and stacks of cash, and drive a GMC pickup truck.

Three things i would never want to be seen in.

1. A Gay Bar
2. A Joe Biden State of the Union speech
3. GMC pickup truck

Not asking this question would be a good start.

You know you are a "BIG THING" when you are inexplicably banned for stating the obvious or not laying down for abuse by moderators or other members.

I have an old box in the garage, it was when I had a throttle bottle shipped, it is about 25% full with dimes, nickels and pennies, been savings the coins for about ten years--is that 'Big' enough to make me a thingy.
Also, I have yet to own a pick-up truck, but if I did it would be a pick-up truck.

While I may or may not be a "Big Thing"....I am a legend in my own mind...

I am not here to make friends, just hoping a semi-maybe-hot babe likes my style and is not offended by Arby's cuisine three times a week.

Big Thing here....

One way to determine if a member is a Big Thing is if they have their own smilie, like thus:



I'll just let the little people talk it out now.
