Two posts away from 'Whatever'

Interesting that both of your loquacious posts have post number 100 on them.

Welcome to the club!

[Indoor66]

As I have learned, a title of dubious distinction!

Qualification by long life and a lot to say. I am somewhat guilty on both counts. :)

[feldspar]

Get used to being loquacious. I'm a few posts shy of 600 and I'm still stuck there. C'mon mods. Let's be a little more creative, shall we?

[Bostondevil]

The change is at 100? I think I'm close.

[Bostondevil]

Yep, very close.

[Indoor66]

Those of us with the coveted designation resent these puny efforts to reach this lofty plateau via meaningless and repetitive quotes! lol :p

I didn't even know what kind of member I was, so I had to make this post just to find out.

UPDATE: Crap -- I'm just "active?" 53 lousy posts? I thought I had way more than that. I've got to get back on the ball and quit letting my job and social life interfere with my posting.

How about using collegiate levels?

Freshman < 50 posts
Sophomore < 100 posts
Junior < 300 posts
Senior < 500 posts

Personally, I'm not excited about being labeled 'loquacious.'

Dern. One step closer...

I think your promotion levels are way too low. Heck, Jason graduated in just a week or two of postings... :) In a few months, we'll all be working on PhD's.

[CameronBlue]

okay I see "loquacious member" and "active member" how many posts to "Huge Member"?

...maybe the board needs a new designation for

"Jumbo Member".

Somehow that seems fitting.

Ditto your thoughts about 'loquacious.'

The collegiate scale is pretty good, although I would think that something basketball-related seems more natural (this is the Duke BASKETBALL Report, after all).

Jumbo is already a member, isn't he?

I just joined the other day. It caught me by surprise. What does locwasious mean?

[camion]

lo&#183;qua&#183;cious –adjective
1. talking or tending to talk much or freely; talkative; chattering; garrulous: a loquacious dinner guest.

I could have sworn I had posted more than thirteen times. Maybe it's counting down to zero for me. ;)

[Dukerati]

Thought I would take the time to inform the board of its latest loquacious member. I would also like to thank several people without whom this would not have been possible.

Thank you Jason Evans whose prolific posting about random topics is probably responsible for at least 98 out of my 100 posts.

Thank you DevilAlumna for being a techie and a Jason collaborator.

Thank you Jumbo for bluntly repudiating irrational posts but spawning huge conversation threads in the process

But most of all, thank you [company that i work for] for boring days, light work days, and chronic underutilization which provides that all-important "free time" necessary for posting.

Move along now. Nothing to see here.

I wonder when folks will figure the whole system out. Of course, the top levels are still a loooong way off.

-Jason "moderator or I'd be a starter" Evans

[Lavabe]

Gee great... Dukerati earns "loquacious," and then the system blows up.;)

So what's the deal with the new titles? NO loquacious? NO "members?"

Walk-on? In the rotation? Sixth Man? Hoop Dreams? Bench Warmer? Victory Cigar?

What's the official post tally needed for each of these new levels?
Cheers,

Wooohoooo!!!! I'm a starter.

From what I can deduce:

0-9 posts: Hoop Dreams
10-19 posts: Manager
20-49: Walk-on
50-74: Victory Cigar
75-149: Bench Warmer
150-299: In the Rotation
300-599: Sixth Man
600 - ?: Starter

I'm guessing 1200 gets you to All-ACC, 2400 gets you to All-American, so on and so forth. I'll let you know when I get there :D

...I'm guessing 1200 gets you to All-ACC, 2400 gets you to All-American, so on and so forth. I'll let you know when I get there :D

Well, then, you'll probably get there first. The only posters ahead of you are two Mods with their own titles.

Of course, there is a lot of time...

I guess I'm approaching the Patrick Davidson level.

It's scary that you may end up posting so much that you end up being a Wooden Winner or Consensus Player of the Year or maybe even a retired number.

[Dukerati]

From loquacious to bench warmer, I barely had time to enjoy my lofty status (sniff). Alas, with some hard work and long hours, I hope to one day become a starter.

Note to jk: New statuses are cool but it would be even cooler if we could personalize our statuses even further (i.e. specific names of bench warmers, starters, etc.) I would like to be Andre Buckner please:)

[Bostondevil]

If you're Andre, then I'll be the fan favorite from my era, Durham's own Richard Ford. Either that or (the other) Christian Ast.

[Rich]

Labels, labels, labels...oh why must we live in a world of labels??? Can't we all get along fine without a caste system as arbitrary as the number of posts one writes? Why is being a prolific writer such a good thing, anyway? Better to write crap than nothing at all?

I've been reading this Board since it was born and I'm considered a "Walk-on"? That's an insult. I should be "Coach K" or "Saint" for the number of years I've been reading the drivel that some of you write on this site! Where's the respect I deserve as an old-timer around here?

Now that I've said my peace, how many more to "Victory Cigar"? ;)

Alas!, boards don't thrive when people read, only when people post. Even drivel, just as long as it's civilized drivel.

(And if you have any good, thoughtful ideas on lowering the drivel content - civilized drivel or not - while keeping an active board, I'd like to hear it. But that's a different discussion.)

There actually was talk among the Moderators of naming the levels after famous Dukies. If we had, I am not sure if Patrick Davidson would have been one of the first to be attained or one of the last. Among this community, he is the most celerbated walk-on in history!!

-Jason "wish we still had the legendary Davidson thread withy all the stories about his glory!" Evans

[DevilAlumna]

Cool, I just hit the next level. I post in honor of Marty Clark, my all-time favorite Duke 6th man (and major cutie!)

[mapei]

At 259 your title goes to Tommy Amaker...I was so confused for a minute as I was hoping that I had somehow ascertained that title permanently, but then I realized that was the number of steals he had at Duke...so I'm guessing that 413 is JJ Redick

[JasonEvans]

At this moment, right now, Billybreen is Steve Wojochowski.

Additionally, Bluedawg is Shavlick Randolph and Olympic Fan is Casey Sanders.

I honestly want to know if Duke leads the nation in number of basketball players named Marty. We've had a "Marty" to represent the last three decades:

2000s - Marty Pocious
1990s - Marty Clark
1980s - Marty Nessley

That will total 12 combined years of Marty when Pocious moves on. That's a lot of Marty. I challenge anyone to come up with a school that can claim that many Martys on their basketball team. I mean, golly, Marty isn't exactly a name you associate with sports.

-EarlJam, whose favorite Marty was Marty Clark.

[Cavlaw]

hmm... I suppose this means a lot of people think I'm a jerk, but sadly I'm lacking the positive fan base to go along with it... :)

[riverside6]

Sigh, I must already be by Patrick Davidson status, since he played 57 total minutes in his career. (yes I looked it up, double sigh)

201 – Bobby Hurley
194 – Sean Dockery
145 – Christian Laettner
133 – Grant Hill
120 – Casey Sanders
114 – Chris Carrawell

[DevilAlumna]

And with one brief, one-word joking comment back to Bob Green on the PPB, putting me at 461, I was a "Grant Hill."

So, Grant had a career 461 assists at Duke.

My google-fu is off tonight, so I'm struggling to find the "All-time assists leader" stats for Duke. Help!

[DevilAlumna]

201 – Bobby Hurley
194 – Sean Dockery

Thanks. It took a lot of work to put it in place. Props to -jk, who implemented this.

I am still waiting to see if anyone can come up with a master list of all the places where the titles change. Obviously, you only know where things go until about post #700. Who knows where else we may have surprises in store for you ;)

Except that moderators have fixed statuses which don't change as post count goes up. Jason leads Throatybeard by about 150 posts at the top of the board, but the top non-moderator poster is Feldspar, currently sitting at 628 posts, which makes him a "starter". Second is DevilAlumna, well behind at 490 posts, which makes her a "sixth man" or sixth woman, in this case. Greybeard is third at 402 and also a "sixth man".

[Bostondevil]

I haven't been reading this thread enough. I noticed that I was Chris Carrawell but I went right through Casey Sanders, and I have no clue on what the numbers mean.

Burns: Tell me, Simpson. If an opportunity arose for taking a small shortcut, you wouldn't be adverse to taking it, would you?

Homer: Uhh, not as such.

Burns: Mm-hmm. If you can take advantage of a situation in some way, it's your duty as an American to do it. Why should the race always be to the swift or the jumble to the quick-witted? Should they be allowed to win merely because of the gifts God gave them? Well, I say cheating is the gift man gives himself!

Homer: Mr. Burns, I insist that we cheat.

Burns: Excellent.


My thirst for forbidden knowledge has inspired a simple little mechanism for collecting all of the names. Nothing even vaguely hackish or that would cause undue stress on the system. I'm wondering whether to pursue that line of thinking.

What do you say? Does that reflect a level of OCD that should not be mentioned in polite company, or are others similarly compelled to look at the answer key?

While I can't officially speak for Julio and Bos, I would have to say that deliberately trying to go around the natural order of this Board would be a violation, possibly including banning.

If you click on "members list" at the top of each page and then click on "posts" to sort it by total number of posts you may be able to see a LOT of the levels where the titles appear. For example:

1149- Laettner
203- Wojo
202- Hurley
145- Laettner
133- Grant Hill
114- CWell

I imagine that if you check every couple days you may find a LOT more of these as the posting totals change and people acquire new titles.

Best of luck compiling a full list!! It will take some work. I think you may have enough info to figure out how the system works though.

[Exiled_Devil]

And I think this makes 300 and officially a sixth man.... or not. 300 is still in the rotation. Bummer

[Exiled_Devil]

Okay, that list that Jason Evans pointed out is very cool. Not only for the benefit of finding out what numbers are what, but also because I am amazed at how few posters actually have hundreds of posts.

For some reason, I thought hundreds of posts was normal. But most of the members are below 100 posts, with over half having zero posts. I guess we do have lots of lurkers.

[Exiled_Devil]

Here is a stab at the standard levels:
0-9 Hoop Dreams
10-19 Manager
20-49 Walk-on
50-74 Victory Cigar
Randomly victory cigar or benchwarmer between 50 and 75
75-149 Bench Warmer
150-300 In the Rotation
302-500 Sixth Man
501-1000 Starter
1001-??? All ACC, honorable mention

I'm guessing we'll go through thruugh 3rd team to 1st team All ACC, then All-American honorable, 3,2,1.

I have the special numbers coming up soon - I need to figure out how to put the document up.

Exiled

[JasonEvans]

I am not currently at 2000 posts, though I am very close, and I would be All-ACC, 3rd team if I did not have a special moderator title. I am not certain where I went from Honorable Mention to 3rd team, but I can guess.

--Jason "I had not even noticed but my next post is #2000... I need to do something special" Evans

Here's a stab at the special post levels up to 500. I used what was confirmed (seen on the members list or posted int his thread) and cross referenced it with top 10 stats in school history. The unconfirmed are top ten stats that noone has mentioned as a level they had. Any help in confirming would be great. I''ll post the above 500 list later - I have to tackle the Honey -do list.

As queried on the EK board, what is 'Nickel Nose?' The 666 is obviously a devil reference(BLUE, I hope), but a 'google' or wikipedia review of nickel nose yields a lot of jewelry, money, and, unfortunately, some anti-semitic references. Explanation/s anyone?

I noticed the same. The majority of the matches were references to anti-semitic insults.

For the record, DBR is most assuredly not anti-semitic.

I did not think so and was not accusing, I just found the references/search to somewhat bizarre, for lack of a better term. I had a discussion earlier this evening with one of our frequent posters and we were simply puzzled by the choice of terms.

Perhaps a tribute to Mick Jagger & the Stones would be better suited, especially if they performed "Sympathy for the Devil" when they sold out Wally Wade.

Indoor66 was showing "Posts: 919" today. Seeing as how 919 is the area code for Durham (and surrounding areas), I think 919 posts should be called "The Mother Ship", in honor of Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Update! My post number on this very post reads Posts: 684. As most of you know, 684 is the original phone prefix for Duke University, as in 919-684-xxxx! That should earn a moniker also.

IIRC, Hurt was the senior captain on the 1961 team, so his prominence exceeded his level of play. Heyman was a soph that year and his arrival changed the dynamics. Also on that team were Carroll Youngkin, Doug Kistler, Johnny Frye and Buzz Mewhort. It went 22-6 in Bubas' 2d year. (Yunk has been a DBR contributor in the past and may well comment on Hurt's excellence.) With Mullins waiting in the wings as a freshman, the whole school was lighting up. It was the birth of the pre-Crazies. (Heck, Eddie Cameron was still the AD.) Here's a link to the 1961 team's players and stats (http://www.dukeupdate.com/Seasons/19601961_duke_blue_devils.htm).

In those years only the ACC tournament champion went to the NCAAs. Duke lost to Wake Forest 96-81 in the ACC championship. Hurt had a tough night. However, we had run into a very good Wake team with Billy Packer and Len Chappell which subsequently lost in the Regionals. (The next year Wake went to the Final Four where they lost to Ohio State and then won the consolation game against UCLA.)

At that time, the ACC prohibited its other teams from playing in the NIT, so Hurt and the team were unable to redeem themselves there.

Houston, only you could take a shoo-in for the Heisman and make him an also-ran. Talent, man; that's what makes it all happen. Bobby, man, you'd better win 10 games or more next year or you will learn that the folks supporting you now will be calling for your head on a silver platter. Oh, and ask Houston what happens to your status with the fans when you start interviewing for jobs with other teams while stating your loyalty to the team. You just think those Atlanta folks are tough. Don't stir up the Bubbas! :D

It's too bad that posts don't keep their original post number, rather than every post a person has ever put up getting updated (post number wise) each time one posts. Is that a change that the moderators can initiate or is that just a feature/characteristic of the system that can't be changed? I've wondered about this since we started using the system.

PLEASE NOTE: one of the side "benefits" of marriage is that it will increase your PW tendencies! If you weren't getting married, you wouldn't have had all those posts about shopping for a ring. Why, you'd still be in the 200's!:D

I shudder to think what will happen if & when Wilson does anything with his UK interest. He may become the new Jason Evans!;)

Welcome to 300!

Cheers,
Lavabe

There should be some serious PW'ing in order over the next day or so as Lavabe, Wilson and OZZIE are approaching their 4 figure milestones. Watch out for server overload...

Touche! Take away the ring talk and posts about Georgia football and I'd still be at Hoop Dreams status. Sorry, what does "PW" mean?

Too late. Wilson sent out the word, and we are determined to make up for weekday lost time.;)

Imagine what would have happened if I had a dog! Boy, some of those threads would have been miles long by now.

I just had a Schlafly's Oatmeal Stout. Have we already discussed that one on the Ymm Beer thread?

1. Why do you have to have a dog? Post something about your imaginary dog or the dog you had in your childhood or a neighbor's dog...
2. Yes, but you can discuss again(hint). Or, discuss another Schlafly's brew...

PW=Post Whore(there, do I make the 10 character minimum?)

1. We had an all-black standard schnauzer named SATAN (and he wasn't named after noted hockey player Miroslav Satan). He was an awful dog. He died at age 6. We then had a Siamese cat named Sasha. Life was much better with him. My brother bred boxers. If we ever settle down, I am very fond of Samoyeds. THERE, that's the extent of my knowledge of dogs and cats. I'll let BB, wilson, and DA continue the discussion about dogs. As for Moneypenny, well she sounds like a very special cat.
2. Any good brews in Richmond, KY (home of earlier Duke opponent, EKU)? What are Kentucky beer laws like?

There.

Hellish Cheers,
Lavabe

I knew you could not resist the temptation, especially at 990+ posts and, with a childhood canine named Satan, how prophetic...

I thought you were allergic to cats?

No knowledge of any micros from Richmond, KY. Perhaps KenTankerous will reply or KyDevil(?). BUT, there is a brewery in Richmond, VA called the Richland Brewery, I think. Tupper Hop Pocket is a rather hoppy IPA that I have had that is not quite as over the top with bitterness as Hop Devil is. They also brew a Tupper Pils(I think) which is quite floral, mildly hoppy and makes a nice beverage with mild chicken or fish entrees.

Speaking of EKU(a German brewer), they have several excellent offerings, especially their EKU 28, an eisbock, that is very caramel-like and high octane(11-12% ABV). Throaty talked about this one about 6-8 weeks ago on the 'ymmm, beer' thread.

Lavabe approaching All ACC status, alert the media, let's burn some benches or Comcast equipment or, at least, turn over some vehicles...

Well, we ARE playing Maryland tomorrow, right?;)

Whew ... just got back from the Twilight Zone.

All I know is that WILSON will unleash one incredible thread tomorrow. It's his turn. Perhaps we need to get him the new GWebb/UK DBR swag!

Cheers,

I've got a good one to turn over but Lavabe has stopped at 999. Hope he gets there soon, I don't want it to drive away.

1003 rebounds=Danny Ferry. That's a LOT of missed shots he corralled!!

Looks like Lavabe took up your challenge, and 1002 is Danny Ferry:

I'll wait for the natural evolution of getting to 1000, rather than resorting to PW'ing. I'm too good, too elite, to do that sort of thing.....

Congrats to throaty for being the 2nd to crack the 2000 post mark.

[devildeac]

so many topics, not enough time, must be productive at work, nahh, I will send this anyway and then see if I can come up with a 'Devil' of a post for my next one, probably on the 'ymm beer' thread and see if there is any new designation for #666:D

Apparently the designation is "Nickel Nose" What does that even mean?

We discussed this many pages back in this thread. Google results show a preponderance of antisemitic associations with "Nickel Nose," but I assume it's meant to be some reference to the devil. I think we should use a different term.

I'm number 4! Watch out EJ, you're next.
