It's completely fair, you hadn't hit the 100 post mark by 96 posts, nor did you hit the 10 posts for requesting eligibility from Sam. What is not fair is having members come here and spam for the award trashing a completely fine community, if, you look at it the other way arround. Playing the dice on devil's advocate there, but that's my point of view.
To put things into perspective for you here, you've only lost 4 posts. Big deal... Does this mean you'll go back to HF and never visit this community again? Is Omni supposed to reopen this award so you can get your 100 posts and leave SF like the rest do? You seem concerned about that award and not the community here, so what's the point in him reopening the award for users that have just started here for their award when it's going to be an issue in the future for newer people joining for this award and him closing it at a later date? They will only request that this award gets granted to them as well.
there have been users here that have joined in 2008 and still not even reached 10 or 100 posts. Why keep track of this if they decide to come back?
Well I can see you disagree and that fine, but lets put it like this. It wouldn't be hard to keep track of members who joined in 2008 like you mentioned, just note this date and any member who joined before that can simply personal message Jesse if they feel they deserve the award he can simply reply with a yes or no and thats that. Also you stated in the point of him reopening the award so I can get my 100 posts and then leave for HF, this isn't the case I quite enjoy it here and will most likely stay I simply havn't joined just so I can get my one hundred posts and leave thats why I made only three posts in the time I was here, its all I was interested in and I didn't feel like whoring my posts to get the award. I mean I did join to get the award, but that doesn't mean I won't stay its simply what bought me to the site. Its much like hackforums I joined just to remove a virus from my computer but once it was gone I joined because I liked the community.

Again, in all respect here, you've only made 4 posts...
I have only made four posts, but all of them have been high qualityand it seems your judging me because of this. The award was why I joined but as mentioned above it doesn't mean I won't stay, something has to attract you to a site and this was my reason

Why do you want an award for HF if you're now interested in the SF community?
Not poking the stick at you, but i've heard the same claim OVER and OVER again about how members love this community and how active they will be, yet when they hit 100 posts they never come back.
Well I'll pose this question to you, you joined up from hackforums and you received the award, wasn't this why you joined.
