Andy and Mastiff, Y'all both have some really good ideas. And YES, it isn't about the status/number of posts but about the products we all care for and even more so the people. Being able to discuss and virtually anything with like minded individuals. I am a JYD, but most importantly I found the good folks here, on a forum that Dan has provided to showcase his wares and for our enjoyment as "Brothers of the Yard".
I display my JYD proudly, but my shirt says SYKCO first!

I guess I am in the minority here
It seems to me that every time Dan tries to do something nice for the JYD's we get an influx on new posters
These guys tend to post one or two word posts or nonsense just to hit 1,000 posts, then they get what they want and disappear
I do think that ideas like knife council, or priority shipping are good ideas, as is the ability to purchase certain swag items like JYD cards
I just don't want to see the JYD status turned into an advantage for re-sellers that are only interested in maximizing their profits from selling JYD variants I definitely seem to be one of the people you speak of. I do wish I had more time to post here, but I usually just have time to lurk, or even more often, just have nothing to say or add to a conversation. However, I'm one of the biggest fans of Scrapyard. I work closely with our combat forces, and encourage them to look into Bussekin daily. I also EDC a variety of Bussekin, primarily Scrapyard. My point it this, just because I don't have an extremely high daily post count, why should that exclude me from anything special. I'm not trying to stir anything up, just want people to understand that its not all about the forum posting, its about the knives and the use that they get. This is the coolest forum on the web and it represents the finest knives on the planet, imho. Personally, out of all the things suggested in this thread, the Test Team interests me the most. Hell, I'd do it just for the fun of it. Beat it, review it, return it. I wouldn't even need anything in return. Sorry for the rant......... Ranting is not all bad... (only if it goes on and on)...sometimes ya just need to get it off your chest Thanks for the input Dan

Sounds great!!! It would certainly keep every feeling involved and add to the feeling of having a personal stake In the products and future of the yard! That's a good point. I was in the mind set about rewarding those who have achieved JYD status. Thanks for the feedback and keep thinking about what I can add to the program Dan I was thinking maybe JYDs would be allowed one "custom" from the yard per calender year. When I say "custom" I mean handle color and blade coating color and profile of past or existing models. NO satin DC Comp or bare metal finishes just to keep the spirit of the yard with Combat grade price point to performance. LE and SE will still be the hardest to get. Interesting idea Thanks Dan
