Wow! When I just checking in this morning, I though my post in the thread I was viewing had myself and someone else's switched around in some display glitch or something. I was thrown-off by the new label beneath my name lol

Thanks guys! :) I really appreciate it!
I also really enjoy helping out in these forums, and learning from others helping me out as well. The road is a long, hard traveled one for me (with plenty to go).
But forums like these (and you guys) make it all worth while ;)

Thanks again!

I did the same thing lol, I couldn't believe my eyes either.

Also notice that the secret decoder ring unlocks some extra forums at the bottom, and the ring should be in the mail within 9 to 10 years :)

Congrat's nrg_alpha,

for short do we call you nrg or alpha.. na not calling you alpha.. lol Na will do :)

I think we all did that eye twitching thing, My first thought was why is my name highlighted its not as if i am going to login to check if i'm logged in! maybe i added myself to my own buddy list!

i'll admit with me it was a bit of a kick in the teeth, as the forum status (by name only) was based in the number of posts and i was promted from "Elite Guru" to "PHP Guru".. seamed a little a weird but with decoder ring its fun!

EDIT: infact its 8 to 10 years but you must be in when it arrives.. or its becomes void. it has a 98% chance of arriving when your on the loo!

Thanks MadTechie :)

you can call me nrg, alpha, Norm, anything that suites your fancy (I can trust you with that *anything* part, right? ;) ).

A small history of the 'nrg' thing.
I used to work in a bowling alley many moons ago, and at the time, the bowling computers could only hold 3 initials for bowler names. I really sucked at bowling, so instead of using my first and last initials - 'NO', I came up with 'Not Really Good' - a.k.a N.R.G (thus, it is not short hand notation for 'energy', nor is it pronounced 'nerg' lol [when I first started in the game industry over a decade ago, there was a programmer who kept calling me that..hated it lol]).

The initials kind of stuck over the years in forums and whatnot (but have lost the abbreviation of what it stood for). Over time, I felt 'nrg' alone wasn't enough...much like being in cold water for a while, it felt small... so I attached '_alpha' to augment it. Voila! nrg_alpha.

There you have it... the embarrasing truth!

That's so boring... you should go for 'nrg_α'
