How do you get the rivets by your name?
Just wondering how people receive the rivets by their names? Also, what is a rivet master? What does it signify? Thank you!

Spouting off and making a general pest of yourself here. The more you do it, the more rivets you get. When you get enough, they seal you in an Airstream shaped time capsule and let it leak. I see I am getting close.

It is based on the number of posts. The more rivets the higher and deeper the BS gets. It does not matter what you post. You could have 1500 posts about where to take your poodle to get a hair cuts on the road.

The "gold rivet" is for becoming a "Supporting Member" with an " Enhanced Account".
Your name would have some silver rivets under it if you didn't type in 'quiltbike' in that slot in your control panel. The rivets are the default and you have enough posts to have a couple.

Dear Inside Out
I haven't figured out how to remove the quiltbike on the second line yet. Any suggestions? I have enjoyed reading the comments. Who knew that typing or spouting off could actually earn rivets? Can't wait to tell my DH!

Find the horizontal dark blue line wiht User CP in the far left position. Click it, then down the left side find "Edit Details (not hard to find: its the first one).
Then go down the page till you see Custom User Title.
That's the one you want to edit. Just delete what you have in there right now and leave it open.

Thanks!
I was able to delete the extra quiltbike thanks to your excellent instructions. I received one rivet immediately and can't decide if that's a good thing or not. Just kidding! It just turned to two rivets - Wow.

Maybe the posting criteria can be changed upward.
And I got a visit from the Get-A-Life Foundation a couple of years ago...

At the time we implemented this "reward" system in 2002 it seemed like 500 posts was not achievable in the near future...
As you can see below, the rivets used are real rivets, no cheap knock-offs.

Plus in 2002 you could only post when on a wired comptuer for the most part. NOW i read bloggs from folks like RVsue and crew, set up in the middle of NO WHERE using a wireless jetpak hooked up to a special antenna getting a signal.
now in 2013 you can be boondocking and online at the same time..
might be time to up the limits to almost three times where they are now.

Funny you mention that...
When I first signed up for Airforums it had a different name and I was using a dial up modem via an 800 number from a KOA somewhere. Now I use my smart phone for browsing or even as a high speed modem. Looooong ways from that 56k dial up stuff.

In the early 70s, I remember the challenges in getting a 300 baud modem (that was capable of 30 characters per second) to work on a rural phone system across the highway to my server.
Now my iPhone has download speeds the equivalent of a T-3 let alone a T-1 line that cost $1,000 per month in each direction ( from the Cisco 56 modem box collocated at the phone office to my servers and from my servers to the world). Heck, I was really excited over an ISDN line at 128k in both directions...
