What amount of forum posts, rank and/or points make a veteran user? Or is it post quality? Can veteran users be called veteran just from time? I'd like to hear your opinion (obviously.
I'd say you need over 19,000 posts to be a veteran user. Just Kidding.
To me it's seems to be anyone with over about 1,000 posts and also have at least silver night rating. Also, maybe you joined at least in sometime in 2009.
When I see users with a really high ranking, like duke/duchess, prince/princes, king/queen, and a really low amount of posts, no merits, and just a ton of comments and ratings I assume they are a spammer and went to a bunch of games and said "stupid", "lame", etc.
(No offense to the people who don't post a lot but actually give quality comments, although I rarely see anything over 5 words long.)

The usual reason is that they just want be the user with the most points out of everybody here. I don't understand why being #1 is so special to them. I mean you're still a normal user.

It even makes less sense to spam your rank up if you want to have a high rank and be well respected. People are going to know you spammed to get to the top (which is not respectful in my book).
Awright, lesse here. Oh by the way, feel free to correct me.
* Who were the original moderators? One of these moderators temporarily became an admin-level user. Who was it, and on which continent did they live?
Flipski! The one with the mouse armatar...
* What was SHOPS and why did it get shut down?
Spammers and Hackers somethingsomethingsomething? Anywhoo, it got shut down because it wasn't effective. People would report others, people would sock-puppet report others, people would report people, they started attacking each other, mods had to start using the firehose on them...
* Do you remember when the Sonny forums first appeared?
Not long after Sonny II. Don't know the exact date. It appeared because there were a heckuva lot of Sonny threads that it was given a forum until the activity died down.
* What is the actual function of the red/green dot next to the username on the profile page, and how many times has it been activated/deactivated?
Shows if the user was online in the last five minutes? I think it was flicked on/off 4 times.
* The AG2 forum code was very messy as it was a hastily thrown-together home-grown bunch of scripts. As a result, the forum tended to lag greatly and was quite unable to do many functions considered ordinary on other boards. Others were removed to preserve performance. How many of these functions can you name?
uhm... Online buttons...Active in the last 5 minutes function...aaand...users currently on the community function. Mods were shown in dark blue, admins in green.
* How many official armatar artists have been commissioned to draw the normal AP-based armatars?
Two! The most recent one did the unicorn, mythical creatures, and king/queen/lady/knights/dragon. Did you know that two were added before the entire set? Didn't one artist not go through with the plan though?

Flipski, I want to say he lived in Europe.
* What was the legacy of FallingUp?
Not sure, he isn't really standing out in my mind. I Know I have heard of him though.
* When the user Switchfoot melted down, what triggered it, and what were his various acts of subversion?

* What is "the Great Debate"? How was it run? Who started it?
Te great debate was just that, a great debate. I can't answer the last two.

Spammer and hacker operative prevention service or something. It got shut down when Green and some others took it over, and tried taking care of problems there self. I was one of the mina people against it.

* What is the actual function of the red/green dot next to the username on the profile page, and how many times has it been activated/deactivated?
It told you if the user was active i nthe last 5 minutes. I want to say it was activated at least 2 or 3 times.

As a result, the forum tended to lag greatly and was quite unable to do many functions considered ordinary on other boards. Others were removed to preserve performance. How many of these functions can you name?

* What was the preferred suffix for the wannabe troll who suicided several hundred accounts over the course of several weeks? What is his real pseudonym? Bonus points if you know the url of the board he runs himself.
420/priest......I know him off a different site, don't know what his name is here though. I'll throw antiwhale out there just for the heck of it.
* (A personal favourite as it's a very difficult question but contains a special piece of forum history): What is the last known thread in which John, Carlie, and DanMcNeely posted all on the same page? Based on this event, what major feature of the forum was created? How many incarnations of this feature has appeared? What happened to the last one?
I'll say the last active feature. And two incarnations.
* Why is Carlie inactive on the forums? Who has effectively taken her place with an official staff position at the AG office?
She got married to john. And not cormyn, he's working under someone, and there is Larry, I can't remeber the last guys name, so I'll say larry.
* (For those who really pay attention, I'm not 100% sure I know the answer to this. However it's an extremely important question as this has been the single biggest key to AG's burgeoning economic success): what was the first game the AG devs ported to a phone platform?
headgehog launch?
(I wanted to say shift but admitadly I looked at freaks answer for this one so I had to say something else)
So there it is. Strop, wanna leave an answer on my profile on how mnay I got right?
* What was the preferred suffix for the wannabe troll who suicided several hundred accounts over the course of several weeks? What is his real pseudonym? Bonus points if you know the url of the board he runs himself.
If you actually knew it, you'd know his site has been down for months.
420/priest......I know him off a different site, don't know what his name is here though. I'll throw antiwhale out there just for the heck of it.
Totally wrong, but bonus points for pimping Antiwhale. The best site ever.
I'm pretty sure 420 was who he was refering to there.
Yeah, 420/priest was the only decent troll we never had around here. On a side note I know a thread where you can see the gaps in argument because of his banning. Good memories.

He was a fail troll who thought he was cool cause he smoked pot. He really wasn't a good troll, he just kept making accounts. I enjoyed him becuase he made people mad, but he was by real standards not a good troll.
I found it! The help page is right on the main page, but it seems to be overlooked. Same with the rules and guidelines. Any way submitting games is 20 points.
