Has anybody noticed the guy with 18 posts that is platinum level? There isn’t anything wrong with it but I just find it odd.
Its not alot for platinum, and its most likely his way of saying thankyou for something that he’s been helped with… ether that or he’s just decided to settle down here 
Welcomes whoever it is
you can see who it is here http://www.hardwareforums.com/forumleaders/
I think the user just wanted to say thanks and show support.
That’s good, and not too unusual. I knew in under 18 posts that HWF was one of the best forums on the Internet, and if payed support was available then I would have payed too. Instead, I contributed in the form of volunteer moderation, and I’ll continue to do so. 
exactly, that why i chose to be a platinum.
What i really liked was that it was optional, and that your use of hwf wasnt crippled if you choose not too.
If i have to pay for something, i think why? after i have tried it im normally more than happy to pay for it / support it.
Yea, the members really make this forum great. Other places your opinion is not even considered until you have 100 posts, or whatever. Here we know that just because a person is new to the forum they may not necessarily be new to everything. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone get flamed on this forum, not even the ones that deserve it

Flamming… lol, ever heard of “Mr Euan”? if you play pleanty of css you will have… he got bored and started hacking for the crack of it (just to annoy people) untill he couldnt be bother playing at all, and played his grand finially… wall hacking in a ED match lol (dont know what else he was using, but he found the aim-bot slowed him down!)
You should have seen the flamming that went on over that… and the spamming of the ED forums, was nuts, anyway… the guy lives just up the road from me!
I love a good argument…
