In my best nerd voice, "Woah- I'm in the inner circle...does that mean you guys will be my friends now?" ;)

With a $500 beer contribution we will. :)

Only if you know the secret handshake ;-)

Only if Chris tells us it's ok!

Depends... How bad do you need friends? :)

I just received a case of beer from Glen, so here's the key:

Tourist (Minimum Posts: 0)
New Boot (Minimum Posts: 3)
Regular Crew (Minimum Posts: 20)
Major Player (Minimum Posts: 100)
Trustee (Minimum Posts: 200)
Inner Circle (Minimum Posts: 300)

Beyond Inner Circle, it's "Needs A Life".

does that mean you guys will be my friends now?

Sure, but if you see ol' crusty here you might have second thoughts. :)

Oooh, one more post and I'm a Trustee.... I'm going to cheat and have this be the post.

Yahooo!

Better watch it Imran... You might get sued by Yahoo for that yodel!

I'm a Trustee too! I buy Imran a beer (or beverage of choice) and start saving money for the Inner Circle fund...

I will be your friend Glen, and with this post I am one step closer to Major Player.

In my best snooty voice *with british accent*, "I'm quite sorry sir, I can't be your friend. I'm now part of the elite. I'm am of an upper echelon now."

*lol*

*Ahem* Let's see how fast I can get rid of all these one-line metadata posts and bring those counts down a notch or two.
