How did I get 'demoted'?

Before the transition to the new format, I was a 'Member' and pretty proud of it. Since the changeover, I've been demoted to 'junior member'. Just curious what happened there.

You haven't been coming to the meetings.

And because your screen-name is, ummm, unpronouncable [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Is it a symbol, like fellow MN'n Prince (or artist formerly known as)? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Ahh...Actually the 'nick' is an old throwback to my early college days playing NTN trivia in local bars/Cattle Company's. It was way too funny to watch the happy hour announcer at the bar's announcing the name over the PA when I was winning. If you guys think it's too 'risque' I can always change it I suppose.

I hate to admit, but I laughed the first time I saw it!

As for your demotion, I have no idea. A couple other members have had it happen. I'm only guessing, but I'm gonna say it's from when we switched boards.

The funniest instance of this was at the 'Stuart Andersons/Cattle Compay" in Bloomington, MN during a happy hour stopover. There was a majority of seniors there for a WWII trivia game and I took the win. The name "Fhakya" flashed on the big screen over and over. The geriatric mumbling began...uh oh. But, the emcee/DJ did take control and made reference to a chinese cuisine called Fa-Kee-Ya (quick load of BS)...and commended my choice of names. My roommates name was 'Sprout', he came in 2nd...so it all came together. We both laughed about it and I got my free meal.
