not sure who to address this to, but "tech team" keeps showing up under my sign on name "ejs4732", and to my knowledge, i'm not on a tech team. any suggestions

It's automatic after (I think) 30 posts. Just means your part of the Team.

Oh that happens when people ask enough questions and are then consided a techie cause they have learnt enough.. lol
Or you have posted enough time to automatically get promoted ....

hopefully there's no exam ...

chris what part of nc are you at???

Is that really the case? Bill (sparky69) has +3800 posts and no tech team by his name. Is that because he is a member? Always wondered about the tech team, senior tech, etc....

Before the site started accepting paid memberships, there were levels a person achieved with a certain number of posts. Those levels were Tech Team (about 30 pots) and Senior Tech (about um..don't remember the amount, 200?). Anyway, the titles don't mean anything other than you have a certain number of posts.

When the site started accepting paid memberships, there were 2 levels, Team Member and Gold Member. These titles take the place of the old Tech Team and Senior Tech titles once a membership is paid for (likes Sparky's title above). Now of course we have Gold Lifetime Member as well. So.......you'll see:

no title = new member
Tech Team = 30+ posts
Senior Tech = 200?? + posts
Team Member = First level paid membership
Gold Member = (previously) top level paid membership
Gold Lifetime Member = (current) top level paid membership

and also:
Moderator and Administrator

Hope that explains them all.

hopefully there's no exam ...
'fraid so m8

Steps- that's 3 questions.
OH crap....confussion...should I delete one of the questions or change the "2 question" ?
Or just learn to count lol

So could one say that the site has no employed techs? I would assume the administrators and moderators are actually employed by the site...is that right? Not that I care either way, I just always wondered how this great froum operated.

x2 on this question...

answers to questions
1) A ford is an oversized paperweight..although, i must admit, the 67 fastback and 70 boss 302 are pretty sweet rides
2) Camaros are in my blood. Sold my 67 RS/SS to go back to med school. Will NEVER make that mistake again. Prodigy customs is protouring my 68 RS/SS now, its gonna be a sweet ride, i'll post when i get it back in a few months
3) Best camaros?? i've seen awesome ones everywhere, although kinda partial to one in North Carolina :-)

now lets work on that counting, 1...2...3...4... lol

This site has no employees. None of the administrators or moderators are paid. Every one of us volunteers our time to help keep the site running because we love the hobby and it's our way of contributing to it. Al does give us a nice Christmas gift every year though :thumbsup: Got a really cool vintage looking clock (https://www.usclock.net/)last year!

There are a ton of contributing members, and a couple moderators, that are engineers, mechanics, etc for a living and they all volunteer their time to help people here.

That is very cool. I had no idea this was all volunteers. All of you do a great job. If the need ever arises and the site needs a hand, please don't hesitate to speak up as I am always willing to lend a hand.
