Thread: Confused about

I slip in and out of being a 'regular' here too. But there has to be some kind of way to monitor our comings and goings when it comes to the classified. At least it's the same rules for everyone across the board.

What is the advantage of being 'regular'? woh, I just looked to see that I am 'regular'. I guess I am spending too much time on the computer? LOL

I think wolfkitty has it right. "Regular" is a way of telling us we are on the board talking more than we are quilting (notice I did not say "doing housework" -- I gave that up a long time ago!)

It's just like when your doc says, "Are you regular?"

here is one of the few places where you get rewarded for being garrulous!

That sounds like a good idea to pm to Admin if you want to.

I don't think there's any reward to being listed as a "regular" unless of course it's your personal feeling about that being by your name. As a comment on b.zang's comment: Since's an automatically assigned and removed designation based on programming and since there are 16173 users currently listed, just think how cumbersome (an computer-intensive) it would be to keep track based on logged-in visits instead of actual posts. Whoowee!

And as long as I looked up user/post statistics (current as about 10 minutes ago): users: 16173; posts: 1434709; posts last 24 hours: 4916.

I'm not sure but I think in order to sell things on here you have to be considered a Regular. However, I guess we all get a little irregular at one time or another. LOL

If you are short on time, post short welcomes and comments on pictures of quilts posted and you quickly have the needed numbers.

This may be a stupid question, but do you have to be a regular on the board to buy from the classifieds? I understand about selling but did not find info about buying.
