Did you purchase the old school like the gold members did with their badges? Not sure how any of that works.
Old School was never something that could be paid for. The Old School status has a lot to do with the quality of the contributions throughout the years. Also, Old School members nominate other members. Sometimes it's a matter of just noticing someone who has been here for a while and realizing that they deserve it. A member has to be in good standing with no real warnings or issues within the forums. If any member ever wants to PM me and ask about it, feel free to do so.
