Which one of the 'atlantic' titles are awarded for giving yourself a 'great answer'?

I haven’t noticed that it’s possible to give yourself a GA. In fact, when I tried it, it doesn’t work.

Giving yourself a Great Answer is, as far as I know, impossible. I have found out all of them but Old Timer, which I presume is also impossible (for me) because my account is only weeks old.

It looks like the Old Timer award is only for people that joined in early 2007 and earlier. Do a search for “Old Timer” in the search box and it will list a bunch of profiles.

This seems lame since I think everyone should be able to get every award.

@YARNLADY
I’ve never clicked the great answer button on my own comments, so wasn’t aware that it doesn’t actually work.

Thanks.

Although I have noticed a thank yourself button, not sure what the purpose is for this?

@Pazza Try it and see.

@janbb
? what, the thank yourself button?

Funny thing is I’m really really tempted to click it, but I don’t want to get any bages for self indulgence lol

@Pazza You won’t get any “bages.”

Pretty redundant question now I suppose…....

I wonder if that’s a reference to the button for “add yourself to your own Fluther”

Everyone should give that one a try :D

I don’t think it’s possible. Here, though, is a list of all of the awards, in case you haven’t seen them before. You can also get to that list by clicking on any award in any profile.

@johnpowell But what if the “Old Timer” is not before a certain date but is active on a time basis- meaning that others will be added as time moves on?

@Dog What if?

@Dog: I would like that. I’ve been here over 2 years, but because I was part of the original iPhone web-app influx, I don’t qualify… but with all the comings-and-goings-and-returnings I’ve witnessed, I feel like an old-timer here!

You guys are all full of shit. “I haven’t tried it but I assume…”
Riiight.

@Dog :: It could be a moving goalpost. I don’t know. But Ben and Andrew have been pretty clear that the don’t want to punish people. For example removing someone from your “Fluther” doesn’t take the lurve away. I just removed a bunch or people yesterday and I am pretty sure they will never notice.

I’m in camp “I think the date moves.”

((looks to see if I’m still in JP“s fluther…phew!))
