Default Why the distinction/new title?? (Poll)

I'm not mad, angry or anything, but I've just seen the new "title":

"Download Group Member"

could this be a way to draw a line between the famous two groups of members here at JW?
and could it bring the download group members more PM's asking us how to download the vids or to help them?

why did you put this thing to our ranks?

There always have been 2 groups , one for the downloading club members that can download things from the vault , that is all .

^^ yes, but I don't feel comfortable with that title
I think it will only make bigger differences with all JW's members, more noticeable and not that kind of person that likes to "show of" the privileges of being in the group B

its basically Download/Upload member group ....
its not really a distincion ... cuz its like ... make yerself worthy or being in that group ... cuz if everyone could download vids ... no one would post .......

EDIT :: k .. now i know what yer talking about ...... i dont see any good point of it either ... but it means yer an active member of the comunity ...

I think this is a good idea.

There's also another way to do something like this...

For instance: All the download group members could have their avatars in a
small gold frame.....or something like that.

Just a suggestion. I'm cool with things the way they are now...

Well, for instance this make it much easier for us to know who is in and who isn't.

Of course for 99% of the 200 or so members in that group I was able to tell even w/o the new second title, but this way it is easier when there are new potential members or new members.

Anyway antonio, everybody was always allowed to check out the group members from the start (link to "usergroups" at the top of the page), so the line was always there

Well it looks a tad ugly at the moment i admit, but i can see the advantages for the admins, ultimately there are more important things to worry about in JW and life IMO

Dans new one is appropriate BTW "Insomniac Admin Video Pimp" hehe, i need the insomniac bit of late... too much work to do!!

Because Jabba wanted it, also because as TT said it makes it easier for us, I can't speak for him but no way can I remember all dl group members off the top of my head

As for complaining how it looks well, it might change yet as its only just been added, but really its impossible to please everyone no matter what is done so one or two complaining is not really going to change anything in that respect... I think you'll find it ends up how Jabba wants it to look

i think the Admins are sick of getting PM's on how to download videos, so they figured if new members knew who was in the club, they could also harass them for video links.
