You get the Tag Mr and Mrs 500 when you have 500 points/Post counts. It shows that you are getting addicted to SSC.. :hehe:

It's a baseball reference.

Right...but why use "Mr or Mrs 500"?

I like baseball 🙂

Open to suggestions for better names. I think I set these up during the playoffs in 2005 or 2006

I'm not sure I have a better suggestion. I was just curious as to the origin. I actually thought the name was maybe a reference to the movie Mr & Mrs Smith.

I am a soccer fan, so a name like "Hat Trick" would be fun to have.

Cheers!

Can we add 'Jordan or LeBron' for 23 points.. Well Michael Jordan and Lebron James had the same number jersey, though James switched now.

However.. for that kind of a tag to be ranked below a SSC rookie is interesting..

Well that's how hard it is to be a DBA... :hehe:

Incidentally and unfortunately, I thought of this during the NBA lockout 😀 :w00t: well it seems resolved now :Wow:

Actually, I had just posted the same on the link I followed as it was a place for updated names..

Now I realized that it was not the category I was expecting. The thread was under SQL Server Central Announcements.. so I thought I'd post here and see if it can materialize...
