I joined during the GP2X era, and it seems most of the Guru status's had been assigned back in GP32 days.MWeston said:I always thought guru status on this forum was based on how long you have been here and how often you post. I don't even have 300 posts yet...small potatoes around these forums![]()
Even though I started following this hand held market all the way back when the GP32 first came out, I never did buy one and I only registered on this site in 2006 after lurking around for a year or so from when people started making their pre-orders for the GP2X.![]()
Zodttd deserves it for sure though. That guy did some amazing things to show exactly what can be done with the GP2X. I can't wait to see what he does with OMAP hardware soon!Pickle said:One that comes to mind was zodtdd.

You saw Tinnus post with some screenshots? Its looking good.
Not to mention, I was under the impression that the Guru title was awarded to people who had done a lot for the community in the way of software. Not that I don't think that MWeston doesn't deserve some title for being a hardware contributor, I just think he deserves a new title.Jarska333 said:Hold on, he's an actual creator. Does that not make him something beyond a mere guru?

Or maybe wait for the other cool thing he will come up with a little after the Pandora release... :unsure:

I'm not sure why you seem to think i should be so 'careful?'
I'm sure the gurus are all big enough boys to understand what i mean without detracting from what they have done for this community.
What is it with the bloody PC sensitive brigade!! Some people just need to grow a pair.

Im not refering to other "Gurus" but other people that are doing monumental things for Pandora, you just dont know because they arnt as vocal as MWeston/Squidge. Your original statement sounds like you thing Mweston is the only person running the project.
Pandora has to run linux of some kind, Mweston isnt building it up. Pandora would kind of be worthless without any software to run it, dont you think?
Yes! We want results, we want results!b_o_b said:IMO you don't become a guru during an achievement but after and I haven't seen a Pandora yet.
