I'd hate to be a mod and have an inbox filled with hundreds of pictures like this:

Excuse me? I'd LOVE to have an inbox full of those.

 

[LiK]

Custom member status? It's just a tag.

 

[TommyT]

When was the last time he did that?

GAF Gold is the worst-kept non-secret.

Nah it would be great, you wouldn't even have to browse Tumblr for saucy pictures anymore. Your PM box would become a bottomless spank bank.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Be careful for what you wish for.

Man... I know it.....

:lol :lol Amazing.

GAF Gold is the worst-kept non-secret.

The best GAF-Gold screen shot is still the one of the forums page with Neogaf - Gold, and Neogaf - Silver. In the Gold forum, the last few threads are something like "Taking away gif avatars" and "BIG BOOTY NUDE THREAD" or something like that.

 

[tapedeck]

GAF Gold of course.

Or just talk about your penis.

 

[bjork]

Random shit talking used to be able to get you one, having a chosen shtick too. Or sometimes you get one and you still don't know what it means, and it is a mystery.

 

[notsol337]

All I did was log in one day! Boom, tagged.

 

[Menome]

best way to get a tag is to send a mod a video of yourself having sex while singing "sweet caroline" but replacing "caroline" with the mod's name.

Damn that's been a while. Funny ass thread though.

So far away, you cannot reach it.

On a mountain so high, you cannot climb it.

On top of the mountain is a church. In the church is a well, in the well is a duck, in the duck is an egg, and IN THE EGG...is the secret you crave, OP.

Quest well.

 

[Messofanego]

Oh great this is now a thread where more members sending other members dick pics.

Members.

I got drunk in front of moderators, history was marked.

You need to have someone try to jerk off on your ankle.

Members.

Adjusted that for you.

 

[TheSeks]

One of my tags used to make fun of me comparing me to cobra commander, with a link to an animated gif they made, and they even spent the time to host that on the GAF servers. They also forced my avatar to be cobra commander and I couldn't change it.

I forgot the details of the animated gif, would be great if someone still had it somewhere.

Paraphrasing:

TODAY IS THE DAY! NPD WILL SHOW SONY AHEAD!
(NPD: Sony 100K or something for PS3)
*Cobra Commander is kicking a dog*
MY LOVE (Ken Kutaragi as a twenty year old?) <3 <3 <3

Repeat. It was hilarious for the time but kinda outdated.

 

[ckohler]

Actually, you just have to hover your mouse over your tag to reveal your hidden tag.

Neato. The first I've heard about that. I'm glad it doesn't break mobile. It gets ignored, though.

lol that would imply gaf gets laid

Gaf cant even pee properly smh

..... tag begging thread? So dumb, so lost.

Thanks, member.

[User 100115]

Fiction has the best tag imo. I wish I would get a meta tag too.

<3

I love my tag.

 

[Tobor]

I was really drunk when I got mine.

 

[Phoenix]

Now I've been wondering this for years now.

I always though this is some kind of a privilege for mods and certain VIPs from the industry and/or veteran members here on the board but this morning I saw a thread from someone that is 17 years old, join date 2012, who had custom member status - and that doesn't really fit into what I thought is needed to get it.

I tried to Google this now several times but never found a clear answer to that question. Even the FAQ here only states that an administrator has to enable that (which was obvious).

So please, GAF, tell me, what's the secret? I gotta know, once and for all.

u have to zuck a mods dink

Do something incredibly stupid or do something legendary and you'll get a status. Until that happens you're just one of the flock.

 

[captmcblack]

Drink with Evilore and beat him in pool.

I saw this happen with my own eyes.

 

[sphinx]

there are other means to get a tag besides being funny, smart or stupid but there's a lot of random chance involved.

your best bet is to go into a Bishoptl approved tag fishing thread but those are rare, last one was like more than a year ago.

 

[jon bones]

I've resigned myself to never having a custom tag because my posts go unnoticed, probably because they are all terrible. Like this one.

You probably won't even read this.

i'll be honest, 10,000 posts and i don't recognize your name or avatar

oh shit i think i was there for this

blacked out as i may have been

 

[Phoenix]

GAF Gold is the worst-kept non-secret.

The funniest thing about GAF Gold is that so many people are interested in it, if GAF actually offered it they'd make a ton of money.

 

[MThanded]

"custom member status"

You mean a tag.

 

[TommyT]

Not true... Having had a drink with him, and even invited him to where I was hoping to propose to my wife, I came back with nothing but memories of sweet Zelda music sitting side by side :lol

 

[Nilaul]

Just bribe a mod with a free Ferrari.

 

[aygomyownroad]

I don't look at other posters Tags... I just look to see which are the Mods/Admins...

 

[Volotaire]

i'll be honest, 10,000 posts and i don't recognize your name or avatar

We should have some sort of thread where everyone rates each other on how famous they think they are on GAF. Like the avatar thread.

 

[FairyD]

Trust me, you don't want a tag.They are never good.

 

[Nilaul]

You don't want a tag trust me. They are never good.

Yeah it was pretty creepy.

This is pretty much how Something Awful rolls iirc

 

[Jackben]

You could try to be clever by writing hidden messages in every single one of your posts using the tags...but the last time someone did that they ended up with a tag curse and the corruption spread to their very posts as well.

 

[condompickle]

Trust me, you don't want a tag.They are never good.

lmao amazeballs. you're my hero.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

Just be an EA supporter.

Spoiler

I'm not

 

[GeekyDad]

You need to have someone try to jerk off on your ankle.

The Internet, man...you never know where you'll end up on a given day.

(Laughed myself to tears reading your story.)

 

[JCX]

Not time related. You generally have to do something memorable or be active in a community thread with a mod who is also active.

 

[Ape]

Trust me, you don't want a tag.They are never good.

...dude

 

[Camjo-Z]

damn i bet i'd have a tag by now if i'd gone on judge judy with parappa the rapper

 

[Ray Wonder]

I don't want a tag, I want to be a part of the majority. It makes me feel safe and cozy.

 

[commedieu]

you have to be thoroughly respected by your peers...
