I propose that we replace the Evangelist title with DYKWIA.

And maybe replace Legend with FT Infinite Elite.

Bolding mine: Not if they post in the UA forum as that is a very sore spot with legacy UA million mile fliers

Are you afraid Internet Brands will "Enhance" your FlyerTalk membership?

Cheers.
IIRC the cutoff was sometime in 1998. Someone who joined in a bad month late in the year cannot be an original.

ROFL! Who and at what levels would qualify for "Uranus" and how do propose a standard pronunciation so we don't violate the "offensive" clause in the those?

This is the best pot of the day lol

On that note

I think many people would give me that title without having to earn all the other planets names

Finally would you count Pluto as a planet

Was there a bad month in 1998? Originals seem to be disproportionally marked with May 1998 dates. At some point I was seeing even July 1998 members who didn't have "original" titles. May may have been the forum transition date.

You've got competition, and with me it's official and has been for some time despite doing what I could to avoid it.

The latter could also be replaced with "YDNKWIA" or FT Watchlisted Member. In yesteryears, I'd say apply that to FT Evangelists too -- even if based just on profile visits.

I'd like to suggest that anyone with 3,682 posts or more be deemed a quadruple purple blue red silver bronze green yellow platinum diamond-studded elite to the third power.
