What set me off asking Tony was this in the FAQ ...

What do the titles Tenderfoot, Native, Bushcrafter, Forager, etc. mean?

These titles or ranks are based on the amount of posts you made. It doesn't mean anything else. There are 8 ranks:

- Member: 1
- Active Member: 20
- Tenderfoot: 50
- Forager: 100
- Nomad: 250
- Settler: 500
- Native: 1,000
- Bushcrafter, boy I've got alot to say!: 3000+ what happened to this? I was (as Neils said) rather thinking this was what I was going to get ... as a plank, I'm not sure why I didn't :rolleyes::confused:

Than there are also:
- Full Members & Makers (members who paid a subscription)
- Moderators
- Administrators (Admin).

These last 4 have a double rank: Mod & Native at the same time; or Full Member & Tenderfoot, etc.

He he :D Yeah, that was me a few weeks ago after Elen asked what was next because she had gone over 3000 posts, there wasn't anything so we all became part of the furniture. Since then we've been trying to work out a good list of titles to replace 'part of the furniture' :D


Following the current progression, how about:

- Member: 1
- Active Member: 20
- Tenderfoot: 50
- Forager: 100
- Nomad: 250
- Settler: 500
- Native: 1,000
- Deep Rooted: 3000
- Bed Rock: 6000
- Force of Nature: 10000​

Well we're probably not the only ones that finds the term irritating or perhaps even a little insulting.

Nope, I feel the same way about it as well Gary.

I was even less amused when someone amended my personal custom title by removing the word NOT Whoever did it obviously thought it would be funny but I didn't think so. :nono:

Anyone else feel the same?

I do not want to be described as an item of furniture. I am an established member (I was going to say respected, but that could be a rash assumption :rolleyes:) but not necessarily a fixture. Somehow the term 'part of the furniture' just doesn't fit with 'bushcraft' to my mind.

I didn't think you were important. ;)




Sorry, I just didn't notice that you had added yourself in the blue box.

By the way, how do you do a personal custom title? That might be a solution to the problem.
