I said at the time and still say the 3000 club was one of the worst ideas going !
There should be no form of closed club , even if it was on a measure of quality of the posts ( % of thanks to post count ) and without doubt it should not be just because of in a lot of cases just chit chat .
The arms is different in as much as it is for those that prove experience and industry ties .
This is not a moan about those with higher post counts even if it is just chit chat sometimes , without you I for one would not be around as the place would be characterless .
It just seems to me that the 3k club started in bad taste and still seems to be running in bad taste , especially if it means losing a respected member like Phil d over it .
