The scale goes from 1-10, where a 1 is a purebred bilge rat who never posts about wooden boats, and a 10 posts exclusively upstairs (which really makes it a 1-9 scale, a 10 would never appear in this thread anyway)

Are you an "upstairs" person?
In light of some of the accusations in the Quit being jerks!-thread, how about a new "rate the person above" game?

Re: Are you an "upstairs" person?
I don't get it. The thread title and the game don't really correspond. "Are you an upstairs person?" is most likely a quantitative question based on post counts that compare activity above/below board, while "rate the person above" is a qualitative question based on what you think of them.Originally posted by James McMullenYeadon is right, of course.Comment

Re: Are you an "upstairs" person?
I give myself a 4.
I mean I really really like woodenboats and I read most of the threads upstairs, post fairly often, think I contribute to the quality of what goes on up there; but all my drunk and rowdy friends hang out down here and I succumb to peer pressure easily.Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.Comment

Re: Are you an "upstairs" person?
I thought this was going to be a balcony / basement thing.
I won't bore you with the details, but there was an interesting piece I read with a series of examples / questions with the end result of determining if you are a "balcony" person - someone who sits and cheers for their friends and their successes, or a "basement" person - someone who sits in the dark and snipes at the people above them.
Not the same as "upstairs" vs "bilge" - back to your ratings guys...

I use the New Posts button and check out stuff down here on occasion. I guess according to the scale I'm a 9 since 95% of my posts are about boats, technique or wood.Program Manager Baggett & Sons Marine Restoration
