and back to the first page:
[8D] NEW IDEA: don't give stars for each post, but for the number of words someone puts on the fora, this will give more credit to those who take the efford to write good readable, clear answers that are fun to read, he who types the most eleborate posts gets the most stars, and the short answer dudes . . . . . .

[;)][;)]
BTW did anyone notice that if you delete a post it stil counts for your star rating???
don't let the starchasers see that,
[8D]



You mean, if we use big words like SUPERCALAFRAGILISTICEXPEALIDOCIOUS, we get more stars[?][?][:D][:D][:D]Yaaaaaaa[:D][:D][:D]BTW---#137


[:p]you did all a good job posting while I was asleep, but what I ment was not the size of words you post but the amount of words you post, you get more stars if you say something in 50 words, than you get for telling the same story in 5, and if you break up big words into little words you also score more (keep it simple)

You score the most if you post like some wifes talk: with a lot of words saying nothing.

this is post 144 (and for my rating system it would get me:about 100 points )






SU PE RC AL AF RA GI LI ST IC EX PE AL ID CI OU S,

thats 17 words lupo, but I still don't know what d@&% means. I sure do like the extra count though. BTW I think this 156 or 157, not really sure anymore. [:D][:D][:D][:D]

Ok Boys, its done now. Definately over the top!

I've been on the sidelines, watching this topic go insane, and trying to take the moral high ground.

Maybe its time to give this one a rest, since we all for the most part ran out of usefull input back on page 3, and managed to make a rather large imperssion on the person who originally posted the topic.

You never know, if we don't stop soon, Bergie may lock this topic, and we'll have to start all over, which means finding a new rant.[:P]

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, 176

Nah, Bergie's got a sense of humour! Mind you there are fora where the topic would have been locked by now; them's the ones you don't hang out!

Coming back to the original topic: you guys must have lost your train of thought. Which, come to think of it, is a real no-no on a train forum.
This is supposed to be about the relative merit of "stars" or rather the lack thereof.
Vic is going to be a "four star whatever" at which point he's going to revamp his sig (hopefully with more "Hitchhiker" stuff) and that drunkard railroad of his will serve up a round of drinks for all those who stuck around in this looney thread for long enough.

I've been workin my way toward 400 myself, just not by hangin out on this one.
