Nick H. Supervisor Posted May 13, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted May 13, 2015 As Aheer.R.S would say "Lies!". I remember you posting an image of a lightsaber on your office desk at work.I'm not going to get in to it here (this is an open forum viewable by everyone including guests, and it would take this off-topic) but needless to say that things can't stay the same forever.

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted May 13, 2015 Subscriber² Share Posted May 13, 2015 Bummer there isn't a t-shirt for us old farts who have been around for about ever. (since 22 Aug 2001 for me) I just don't post that much here. I'll just enjoy being a crusty old dog here. You know, I still would like to see an optional old fart badge as well, for those of us who've been members for > 10 years.

TAZMINATOR Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I was thinking of a grizzle grey tone. This? I don't have the source file for this but the image above has barely visible subscriber text behind the Old Fart text. Brown might be better for Old Fart... but it's up to you.

Send him a PM and show him the image I made and see if he could create a template for everyone else who is a member since Neowin started as an option, I mean member, subscriber, old fart badges.

I think it's time to step my game up. A lot less now that the post count is screwed up. I was at 21k posts and now i am at 12. So really cannot count on the accuracy of the post count at the moment.

oldtimefighter Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) I lost a bunch of posts also... What was the point of the site upgrade again? The old site worked so much better... I guess Neowin never heard of deploying the update first on a separate server and modify/test internally before pushing to production.
