Ok, I got to know: How does one get custom member status on GAF?

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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.

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.

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 It was hilarious for the time but kinda outdated.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

Drink with Evilore and beat him in pool.

I saw this happen with my own eyes.

oh shit i think i was there for this

blacked out as i may have been

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