Junkyard is called 'Lazarus'
Edukator is called 'Troll'
and I think there is at least one other contributor with a status different to 'member'.
How did these come about? Are they granted to former moderators? Or can they be bid on? And what do the two mysterious, aforementioned titles refer to?
Now, do I need to be looking over my back for having mentioned them? 😛

Edukator is "troll" as a warning to others (-: I forget the exact circumstances now.
Junkyard is "lazarus" because he came back from the dead. IIRC we overturned a life ban for some reason, probably profuse apologising and grovelling. I think it was Christmas also.
There's no underlying 'special' reason other than Mark thought it was funny AFAIK. It's an Admin priv, mere Moderators cannot change it. (I doubt that's a priv I could trust myself with so it's probably for the best. It's the same logic as giving an Aspie geek a Dymo).

🙂 For the avoidance of doubt the following are supposed to be jokes ...
A life ban, you surprise me
His wife is Jewish so doing something nice for him at Christmas might have been an insult, political correctness is such a minefield
To be honest I am feeling a bit left out now although I've always interpreted Member as Tool

No, the life ban was as a result of an error on the part of a/the mod(s).
I think the other one the OP is referring to is "still not a customer" which was a particularly funny evening with zokes in full swing. 🙂

Ooh, you might be right actually, that rings a bell.
(I mean, "what do you mean, we're infallible!" of course.)
I've just looked back through my emails to see if I can find the incident, but searching "junkyard life ban" returns too many hits to find it.

If you could pick your own title what would it be?
perchypanther - Not as funny as he thinks
jamie had another one too. Where IS he??
😆
Probably true though Cougar 😳
It was a misunderstanding that was sorted out - there is a thread on it on here but I dont have it bookmarked and cannot recall how much was in the open.
What they did was understandable though incorrect initially, rescinding it was generous and fair tbh*, they definitely sometimes regret it.
* whilst I am probably one of the worst offenders on here they do definitely go the extra mile to allow debate and free speech on here and they are not as censorial as some would imagine.

This is going to be one of those threads where i cannot tell who is taking the piss and who is not
I know I overstep the mark on here many times
Apologies to all, its a great place. A special sorry to the mods who have definitely been sick of the sight of my name.

Is that a line from 1984?
Ah, there's worse. (-:

Are you an actual lizard then? Like the Queen?
Jamie was 'freeloader' which always made me chuckle 😀
🙂
While we're on the subject, why are some people's names underlined but others not?
underline means there's an email address or web link in your profile.
I for one welcome our new overlords that look like characters from Babylon 5.

"Bulging Wallet" 😆
Oh and Jamie is on Twitter...
He does "makeovers" for folks who want photoshoped giggles. I follow him, TBH some are funny, most are just dull.
He should come back here, we're the ideal audience for his talents.
[i]He does "makeovers" for folks who want photoshoped giggles[/i]
He got an FF from ThePoke today.
Gosh,remember that ever so funny day when we got to change our user name for a little while.
Oh how we giggled.
Yup 😀
It was even funnier when all the folk who thought they were making anonymous posts got them all reverted back.
although if you click on a username you can see the last one they used as they never got changed back 🙂
[weekendworrier, btw)
Not seen Ron Jeremy on here for a while...appropriate user name?
Yup, Ron really does work in the industry and linked some of the equipment he sells to prove it.

I'm liking Perchy's suggestion for me. Either that or 'wizard'.
How would you define a "Lifer"?

I misread your post on CFHs thread and thought you said you had just become a nun rather than a noun. Maybe that would do....I'm liking Perchy's suggestion for me. Either that or 'wizard'.
I think 'Wizard' suits Saxonrider. He already has a glowing mighty staff of power.
He just needs a longer beard
You should see him at work 🙂

Does he keep it up his sleeve? 😉
Reads like it but they were genuinely absolutely sound with me off line about the incident; no it was actually genuineIs that a line from 1984?

Veneer!
and like a wraith he fades back into the aether for another year?
Probably not, just didn't want to be taking the credit for another's work. I got pointed to this thread so figured I would clarify.
Also, my title used to be "Freeloader, but we still love him" ......then Mark fell out of love with me 🙁
p.s New forum just around the corner?
you lost their love but gained an exclamation mark. Life's tough, sometimes.

Major, If you please.
Gah, silly post from misreading others....
Jamie, please don't go!! *clings to leg
Hi Jamie
*waves*
Are you officially, like ... back, then? For good? Or is this like a Robbie guest appearance with Take That?
I was once accused of being 'the ringleader of the malcontents' by one of the moderators*, prior to one of my numerous banhammer incidents. I think that would make a great forum title. Its the nicest thing anyones ever said to me. As it is I just have to make do with the large facial tattoo bearing the legend 😥
* sorry guys, I can't remember which one.
*squeals*
Jamie!
*faints*
😯Jamie, please don't go!! *clings to leg

You can't lure Jamie back with videos, you need to ask him to improve a photo you're really proud of.
