+MissJenn Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I just copied the bit below from the bottom of the main Forum page. How come CoronaKid is on bold and no one else is?

+Markwell Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I believe this was just answered, but I'm not sure how accurately. The answer that someone else just gave is that they are moderators. Take a look at this thread. Seems like a reasonable answer. Markwell Chicago Geocaching Link to comment
+SimonG Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 quote:Originally posted by Markwell:I believe this was just answered, but I'm not sure how accurately. The answer that someone else just gave is that they are moderators. That someone else was me. I must admit, I don't know for a fact that this is the right answer - it's based on observation. Anyone I know to be a moderator always comes up in bold, so I always assumed that was the reason. I can't see what forum CoronaKid moderates though. SimonG.org - now with added blog! Link to comment
+Mopar Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I thought Simon and Markwell were correct, but then I just noticed a few people listed in bold who I have not known to be moderators, admins, approvers, or employees of Groundspeak. One of them has only belonged to the site for a few weeks. Maybe a forum bug? Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Could it be that some people purposely write their name in bold? Kinda like Seth!'s exclamation point. When GC.com asks for a username, maybe they simply use a bold font. Jamie Link to comment
+MissJenn Posted March 19, 2003 Author Share Posted March 19, 2003 Maybe the people who have most recently logged a cache are the ones listed in bold? Or, perhaps those who have most recently showered? That one makes it more fun to wonder when more than one name is in bold. The real answer is probably less interesting than just making up a few other ones! quote:Originally posted by Markwell:I believe this was just answered, but I'm not sure how accurately.

+9Key Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Question~ Is there a there a thread in the forums where the following have NOT posted: Mopar, Clayjar, Markwell, Web-Ling, etc.... (you know who you are). Take a break guys! Let someone else have a voice. Link to comment
Aladin Sane Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 9key, how are the "regulars" silencing your voice? If you have something to say, say it. In my opinion, they generally are well informed and I value their input. Aladin Sane Link to comment

(you know who you are). The ones you pointed out are the ones that knows what’s going on! They have been here way longer then you or I have and that gives them the right to post when they want and how many times they want. They know what's going on in these forums and they are here to help the geocaching community out, if you notice they have helped many out, just one instance is by markwelling. If you don't know what that is then you don't need to post. ...and they don't stutter The early bird gets the worm, but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese. Link to comment
iryshe Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Not sure, but it is possible that they are new users to the forums. The forum count, for example, is the number of logged in users at Geocaching.com who have participated in the forums. They could be old hat at Geocaching.com and new here.

Jeremy Irish Groundspeak - The Language of Location Nope, cause I noticed a little while ago that a forum regular that I know for a fact is not a moderator was listed in bold. It USED to be only forum moderators were listed in bold, now thats obviously not true. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Link to comment
+RichardMoore Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Wait a minute. Jeremy doesn't know? Could it be that the website has developed a mind of it's own, and a sense of humor, and is doing this just to make us crazy wondering why? Does anyone remember 'Colossus: The Forbin Project'?

(you know who you are). Actually, I post on a very few threads these days, but when I post, it's because I have something to contribute to the discussion, as is the case (now) in this thread. I ran a few things through the reality-o-meter, and unfortunately, none of them matched up very well. I'm not sure if this is due to a bug in the OpenTopic code or the possibility that they're making the bold/non-bold distinction based on some complex formula. Last Post: georgeandmary, ClayJar (not bold); MityDave, Unfurl, Horatio (bold) (Also, I replied to a thread from Horatio to de-last-post-ify him in that thread and forum, and it had no effect.) Moderator: Elias, Jeremy Irish (bold); Team Paradise, MityDave, and Unfurl (bold, not mods) Number of posts: Team Paradise (0 posts), MityDave (1 post), Unfurl (20 posts), Elias (172 matches), sevron2 (0 posts, non-bold) Freshly Logged In: Horatio (bold); worldtraveler, gloom, millforce (not bold) (Looking at this, I'm leaning toward the bug answer...

I just didn't want to let this thread get off track, that's all. sbell111, My question came up before the changeover to the new forums. I think they have fixed it now and only admins or moderators show up in bold. Hmmm.... are you a moderator and you don't even know it? (I wish moderator ryhmed with poet!) You must be present to win.
