And, as stormy said, it's bound to attract some negativity although I suppose things will settle down and return to normal soon enough. Grats anyway. You have to be realistic about these things.

Something of a special talent of mine, as it isn't even a word, but still conveyed my point clearly. Good neologisms frequently enter the language and become fully-fledged words. Lewis Carroll (of the "Alice" books) gave us "chortle," for example, a perfectly conceived onomatopoeia contrived from "chuckle" and "snort." Keep it up; you never know what might stick around long enough to get adopted to mainstream use. =^[.]^= According to the Oxford Dictionary it's a real word. "Mid 19th cent.; earliest use found in The Examiner. From opinion + -less." I would echo the sentiment expressed that when someone who doesn't know much about the game reads an on-topic post by a VP, they should be able to surmise that the poster knows the game well and usually posts trustworthy information. Oh, I never disputed the word "opinionless;" I am merely a fan of language as a growing, evolving form of communication. =^[.]^= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/ whiskers =@[.]@= boggled / =>[.]<= annoyed or angry / ='[.]'= concerned / =0[.]o= confuzzled / =-[.]-= sad or sleepy / =[.]= dazzled / =^[.]~= wink / =~[.]^= naughty wink / =9[.]9= rolleyes #FourYearLie	Posted by Raycheetah#7060 on Nov 5, 2015, 5:37:30 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post
This is mostly just drunken nonsense, but if VP status could be traded like liquor liscenses I bet many interesting things would happen. That or some jackass would buy them all and sit on them. HAIL SATAN!	Posted by tramshed#4306 on Nov 5, 2015, 5:43:33 AM Quote this Post

Me being offline or rarely ever active in the forum will hurt me from being VP. I do not think that will change since I am very busy with real life nowadays. Never caused trouble, help out other players when the right topic comes up because I wish I knew everything, having experienced being a forum mod in another forum gave me the opportunity to be a forum/in-game volunteer moderator for PoE back in the days. Can still be applied, but just the lack of forum activity hits the spot. So far, I am seeing some familiar faces getting VP, and they deserve it. :) Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016	Posted by JohnNamikaze#6516 on Nov 8, 2015, 6:36:22 PM Valued Poster Quote this Post
Gz Ray, I see Alysma and Drakier have been added to the ranks as well. My personal feelings about the system aside, there are some damn good members of the community getting the nod. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years. Best of luck in the future!	Posted by CaptainWaffleIron#2395 on Nov 8, 2015, 7:51:20 PM Quote this Post

Don't let it change your posting style (even the sometimes 'on the nose' rejoinders), that's the worst possible side effect :) == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years.
