How does a forum member increase their designation here?

or whatever you want to call it. I'd like to be more than a veteran! Do I have to be part of the registry or a paying member?

    Put 10 marbles in your mouth.

    Each time you post - spit one out.

    Dunno about that...some of the members of the "veteran's committee" have been known to get pretty selective when considering those who have already gone past
    their primary ballot eligibility.

    I think my stats are equivalent to hitting 10 home runs a year for 25 seasons. Is tha good enough for the Hall of Fame?

    At the pace I'm on, it will only take 30 years to achieve the top ranking!

    So, when you get to 10k and get to choose your title, is that a one shot deal? Whatever you choose you're locked into for the rest of time or do they allow you to change it periodically like your avatar? I'd probably choose something I'd eventually regret like "Frank McCourt - HOF" and then a few years later when he is proven to be an A$$ I'd be stuck with it.

    Kind of like a few tattoos I wish I had not gotten. (I still love you Angelina).
