Square Wheels Posted August 10, 2021 Share #4 Posted August 10, 2021 There is a ton of stuff to reindex. I hear it can take anywhere from a few hours (already past that) to a couple of days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear it can take anywhere from a few hours (already past that) to a couple of days. While the index is important for my typing, I'm far more worried if the middle needs time to be remiddled. We've seen, with @goldendesign, that the thumb is essentially unnecessary (similar to the pinkie), so that leaves ring as the remaining spot of potential worry. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkpow Posted August 10, 2021 Share #9 Posted August 10, 2021 I think you can save some space if you get rid of comments by some people. It's funny. On another forum I am on, I was getting admonished for wasting space by using quotes, etc. I'm sitting here thinking, Are you crazy? It's a forum, most of the space is wasted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the Bicycling mag FB page is doing? I can't say I have ever visited, but I occasionally get their e-mails with Best Way to Burn Fat and Climb Faster! sort of headlines. In pretty much all ways @Square Wheels is a FAR FAR superior forum leader. The only weakness (if it is one to you) is the lack of a name/brand to pull in the new folks. It ain't easy building a following without that to get folks involved. The magazine had that presence and could funnel some n00bs in fairly regularly. Maybe we can convince SW to become a famous athlete, actor, or politician and use that fame to #SWCF in all his media??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the titles are fine (we could make them funnier or more apropos to this place), but I would just jack up the point to much higher levels. The folks here who have hit that 50k mark or more, they could be at the Grand Master level, but 79 or us??? We're definitely more "veterans". So, I'd say make a GM something like 50k pts or even more. Maybe 75k so folks like jsharr or kzoo or PHIL! have something to aim for.

I think others - the more creative ones here - may have far funnier or punnier ideas. Two - points are complicated (in a vague way), but I'd just pick an arbitrarily high value that few if any already exceed and call it done. There are a few "big hitters here" who are regular posters with long track records and elicit "likes" and such - jsharr, LJ, sometimes wilbur. If it is too many GMs, the rest of us have no "goal", but if it isn't something jsharr can hit presently or in the near future, it's likely way too high.
