What about ex-mods that were promised life-long VIP status?
...
Oh and if people think this is whinging...obviously you weren't around in 2005.

5000 posts is quite a lot. I had a quick look at the people over 5k and there isn't one person not worth there. Would be spammers usually (pokemon style) evolve into great posters or leave/banned anyway.
If you don't like it, they are looking for staff right now! Instant colourification!

5k is a lot - if you post 5 times a day, it's going to take nearly 3 years to get there. To see who's achieved it, take a look at the member list and filter by Total posts, Descending. There's only 21 and half of those are staff members and mods.
I considered adding post score into consideration, but after looking at that list, I decided it was unnecessary. Let's face it, if someone sticks around for 5k posts, they've earned that position

I have it but I'm not going to use it. Well try not to use it. Names of posters are heavy and the Karma? system names are normal, no amount of pantsing around seems to be able to make my name regular

Honestly this is so silly. How old is everyone here? It feels like a primary school conversation at little lunch.

In lieu of the custom colours and 5000 posts, don't forget you can purchase custom titles from your Control Panel in exchange for $poons

Hum - am I a VIP for being an ex-staff member? I don't have even half of the required amount of posts, though.

You should just get the VIP for having a member number that's a single digit.

Thanks Jeremy. Yeah, I remember writing reviews for GameCube -games - Resident Evil: REmake used to be the 'new hot thing' back then. It really is a long time ago.
I think I was among the first 20 to register, too. It is quite wonderful to see this community thriving after all these years, you know.

Ah, top ten. Yay.
I actually knew James ( Zemaj ) before he started PALgn - we had some conversations about this site on the IGN forums way back then.
The forums were quite different at first, too. Then we got Spoons, had the Amy-fiasco ( or was it? ), and what not. Those were the times.

It's good to have you back, AS. Shame some of the others from back then aren't around any more.
