To show just how committed we are to making sure every thread has been responded to we have setup any automatic upgrade to Gold Membership when a member (you) is the first to respond to 50 threads. Easy!

Go get your Gold Membership!

With the exception of this response to this thread of course.
 
Sneaky sneaky :)
 
Hey, you gave me gold already --- just got to keep the playing field level for everybody else.
 
@greg: I've been meaning to ask this. What does it take to get credit for First Responder posts? I've documented 13 threads (outside of General Discussion) where I've been a First Responder since Sept. 22nd but I don't have the level 1 badge.
 
Homework forums I know for sure count, not sure what else, I know the lounge doesn't count.
 
Thanks Greg. I have no idea how I got it. o_O
 
So that is why the gold star appeared under my name... I thought it was some fault of the system. I just wanted to ask you in a pm, Greg, to remove the undeserved title. (Perhaps you did not get it, I can not find a button to hit when I want to send a pm. ) Of course, I am glad to have it if it is legal. Thank you, Greg.
I wonder how many first responses I made since I am here. Divided by 50, how many stars does it mean?:D

ehild, if anyone deserves the "first responder" recognition, it's definitely you.

How far back does the first responder tally go? How do you see your own tally?

The tally started a couple weeks after we migrated
Based on when I got my 1st Responder credit, I estimate sometime between 4am Oct 2nd and 8:30am Oct 6th. :)

I show "Awarded: Monday at 5:40 PM", I assume that's CST

If you click on your avatar, then click on the number of trophies, it will show you the date and time you got the reward.

I was referring to when the tally started. The range that I gave was when I made my first of five that were counted and the one before that.

I was imitating Rosanne Rossanna Dana from SNL skits where she would say something that was meaningless because she misunderstood the issue, when corrected, she'd say "Nevermind"

@greg I just noticed that there's a trophy for being a Gold Member but, I don't have the trophy. How does that work? o_O

Isn't that the little star under your dog?

Thank you, Evo. (The star disappeared since then. :D)

It's a 15 point trophy in the list of all available trophies. I checked your list and ehild's - neither of you has it either.
