Re: JB Title Thread

guy's reread JB's statement " I don't like that sort of title so I asked for "Ancient Mariner". I am honored to have it and would like to keep it."

He does not want to be renamed.

"I am honored and a little embarrassed by Bob_VT's suggestion, but would like to suggest that we re-direct this discussion to suggesting an appropriate title for tashasdaddy, clearly the most prolific helper we have or have had."

i have looked for ideas and have not found any.

Please, gentlemen.

I am honored, but I am happy being the Ancient Mariner and I want to stay where I am.

Thank you for your kind and generous thoughts.

I propose "ancient mariner without the albatross around his neck"
IBoaters,boaters everywhere and not a board did shrink.
IBoaters,boaters everywhere and some of them might sink.

I remember a time when you would have said, "JB who?"
Not sure what they should call you now but I'm sticking with "the guy with the poof button."

I guess JB has become Alpha Mariner of the pack and "poof" does sound kind of girlie for his stature. :D

Re: JB Title Thread

This is one of the most hilarious post ever, guys, come on, JB wants to be Ancient Mariner. I can just imagine JB thinking ..." I appreciate those guys but please leave my name alone, it's the one I picked out so move on to another topic!"

God bless JB, Tdaddy, and all the rest of you guys, you actually help keep me sane sometimes. I am definitely a better boater because of you.

Heck, I was just glad not to be seaman:eek: anymore

Re: JB Title Thread

I agree that JB should retain his name and status.....

I just wanted to single his status out.

Re: JB Title Thread

yah .. is there a way to change the postings so that no one else can have the anceint mariner.. i feel bad taking it away from td cuz he does deserve it.. but jb picked it for a reason i think because hes done so much only he can have it.. maybe we can find one for td too. just his own. the two top dogs of this forum.. but than change it so that no one can get ancient mariner or tds choice. and come up with one that we can get wehn we hit that many posts..

JB and TD you guys like that idea.. cuz i know JB sure as hell isnt changing his name and i dont blame him lol

Take it out of the ranking system and then give it JB only.
That would take care of that.
Supreme Mariner would be as high as you could go.

Re: JB Title Thread

just saw this thread.....

a little while ago....we had a "thanks mods" thread......

due to my compleat ignorance of where it came from, how it came about and why it was there...
i posted a comment about the title "ancient".....

a huge "white elephant" began sauntering thru the thread...:eek:

jb himself....then replyed and told me the story......wow...did i feel like a heel ! i apoligised in open forum...but i think the taste of my foot is still in my mouth :D

in jbs modesty and wisdom.....he does not like titles that reflect, superiority or other.
he picked the name....

but....in honor of his devotion to helping people.....how about adding a small somthing to his banner, that says somthing like..."voted long time friend of boaters"

or friend of people.......somthing individually JB !


just somthing that would not embarrass him....


a big cogratulations on 30,000 jb :)

Re: JB Title Thread

Frankly I think JB would prefer that we simply send him a bottle of 30 year old Macallan's . . . He might even settle for 15 . . .
