Are Google's translations of the Japanese forum user "ranks" reliable? Is there an explanation of them on the forum anywhere? I am curious.

What model is Sam wearing in the image on the homepage for the webshop? (new vintage 18oz)

[Sam]

@Shoreman Those are the new 634S-18's. If you click on that image it'll take you through to both cuts but it's the 634 i'm wearing.

Cheers,
Sam

Thanks, @Sam

There was an explanation years ago, I think.  Sadly, I don't remember what it is, though.

All that's important is that we think you're special.

Google had it as Apprentice Boss, so not bad by Google. I guess I'm wondering if there was a story behind them, how and when they were established.

So, when I started the Forum, I thought that it would be amazing if we got 100 members…and I thought that having one of those members posting over 500 posts was beyond comprehension....

I came up with this member/post progression

Then, you lot started posting in a frequency that was simply amazing, and 500 posts/member was blitzed, so I hastily came up with 2 more levels…..

Time for new levels…

• Unemployed Cunt-san (5000)
• Paid by Russians-san (10,000)
• Certified Loony aka Belgian (20,000)

Excellent. Thanks for digging that out.

I tried to explain the whole thing to an old school friend the other day. She couldn't quite grasp the level of boundless obsessive behaviour. That's saying something as she spends all her time and money on LARP…

I was just about to Google the Japanese for "Clinically obsessed, satorially disfunctional, glorious badass".

I guess we can fit in a "Gary Busey" badge…

I hate math but there is a total of 7382 members of which 5215 have posted anything. This means there are 2167 lurkers…

I definitely lurked for a couple of years before I bought anything,and then for awhile before I posted anything.
