Default New Veteran Status - Opinions?

What are your thoughts on the new Veteran Status feature? Where would you like it to expand to? A separate status for Forumgoers or just those who play The Game?

Discuss.

Should definitely be multiple tiers IMO. Forums and the game are 2 completely different things. So is member length.

Not that our opinions are going to change anything but I think it would be cool to have one for the forum, one for the game, and one for join date. Adding the veteran status caused enough problems already though so it probably isn't changing any time soon.

I think that multiple tiers would be nice, but separating time and game is a pointless idea.

But say if you have 3yr, 3bill, and 3k posts then maybe an upgraded status?
(Posts should only be counted from certain areas of the forums, I can't remember where posts don't count)

Game forums and the garbage bin shouldn't count if I recall correctly. The problem with the multiple tiers thing is that it serves no purpose. All of the additional veteran features will have already been given to you.

Not sure about the game forums. Don't forget about FFYA.

Apparently it was something that was only given by request, since most simartist titles weren't handed out automatically. Dunno why. I didn't bother asking for one, but it would be nice indeed.

As for this Veteran Status...can't give much opinion on it yet. Other than the "Veteran" title makes us sound waaay too old. >:
