Guru? OT

Anyone notice the new title being bestowed to the MBWorld Elite?
"MBWorld Guru".
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...uncements.html
So those of us who've been selflessly giving out advise for the last 10 years. well, fuggetaboutit!!!
I can't really see how XXXXXX is a guru, except on their own products which are overpriced IMHO. (Leaving out the name to avoid a flame war)
Ha, well, I've decided to start giving out BAD advise, disinformation designed to wreck havoc on unsuspecting newbs, leaving a path of death and destruction in my wake.
I will then be called "MBWorld Destroyer of Worlds" ha...
Or....how about some suggestions, and of course I'm joking so no serious responses please. Always someone who jumps in who has no idea what humor is.
I'm thinking Glyn could the "MBWorld Great Repository of Knowledge"
or "MBWorld Giant Brain".... seriously if anyone deserved recognition it would have to be him. I've never seen anyone answer clueless newb posts with so much detail and documentation.

For years, MBWorld was most mostly known for telling people to STFF. Which drove people away en masse and spawned entire forums, dedicated to thumbing their noses at MBWorld. IN case you don't know what it means, it's 'Search The F'ing Forum' you silly stupid too lazy to search person!. Funny, since the actual word is not possible to display here, and this was most often advise was most often given out by the then Moderators under the old ownership.
Glyn changed all that. A kinder gentler MBWorld. And for that he must PAY!!!

I saw that a few weeks ago and figured you had earned the title. Well as an old school vet of this site, I nominate you.

E, I'd nominate you, but it says you have to have a good attitude.
I've laughed my **** off too many times, watching you rip newbs to shreds just for fun.
You're also the only guy I've ever known who had to change his name, and go into Witness protection to keep from being wacked by the Fakebook Mafiaso.

Oh it's not necessary to put brakes on your car, just keep driving it till it crashes.
My 1st bad advise....waddayathink?
Actually there was a numnut here that did that, remember?
Had a forest green C sedan. In the end, he fixed it up nice and paid a lot to do it.

How about "MBWorld Troublemaker".
There's more than a few of us that qualify.

E is the only guy who can say with a straight face, you're gonna be swimmin' wid da fishes.
Now we know where that high end fish food of his comes from. Newbs.

Guys. The guru thing will be ongoing. You are welcome to nominate members that meet the criteria for consideration at the next round.

Please note that the staff is not up for nomination even though people like Johnand & splinter would certainly qualify.

Being a mod has made you too serious...boo.

Along with the other mods...well except a couple.

Obviously, he has pictures of a mod or mods in compromising positions. The question is which one(s)??

Anyone notice, the announcement about the new Guru's is gone.
I noticed XXXX is still a guru, but since he's also a sponsor,
and 99% of his posts are about his products,
it seems the criteria IMHO is messed up.
If someone profits from the forum,
how are they selfllessly helping?
It's just called product support.
That makes you a good business person, period.
Goo Roo? Pfft.

I now wish to be Called MBWorld Terrorist.
Osama Bin Eat My Shorts
Soon to be banished to MBWorld Guantanamo.
Better GET TO THE CHOPPAH!!!!

Yes, I think Sammy SHOULD be a Guru.
It makes perfect sense. All the useless tools on the site
should be promoted. Anyone found giving good advise will be
banned.

Tommy,
I thought it was you who had the compromising Mod photos?
Wasn't this one of them? I forget which mod you said this was.

I have been sworn to secrecy, but it does involve a certain South African moderator and a small, woodland creature.

Ah, there's the Gllyn we all know and love.
By the way, Tommy are you sure it wasn't something uh....
you know, a smaller woodland creature.
Much much smaller.

Seriously, wouldn't it be fun if we could bestow our own titles?
After all, Fanatic is getting a bit old.
And after all the hollabaloo I've made, the worst fate I can
imagine is to be made anything close to Gurooooooo.

I see myself much as Jeremy Clarkson, but younger and more interesting,
and sadly, with a smaller car budget. Why can't I be driving
Bugatti Veyrons at 268 mph. Why? Life isn't fair.
Well at least I got to look at this one.



What do you call a Scotsman, er South African a with sheep under one arm, and a goat under the other?
A bisexual.
