On top of being distinguishing in some way, these people have fun and interesting personalities, get along with a lot of people and talk a lot on the board.
Prior "connections" had nothing to do with it.
I ask for Zephos to be seniored every time it comes up and it never happens, despite his great threads, due entirely to bad history, even though he's all respectable now and stuff.
*Most* seniors make it in after about three years of heavy activity. Some more, some less, some people never, depending on who is ahead of them or makes more of an impression.
Would it make you feel any better to know you were already on the short list before this topic came up?
Generally, the title "senior" means "Person who acts more mature and is more knowledgable than the rest."
