Good that this was brought up again.

Some posters in the recent past have misudnerstood this. Everyone here is on equal footing, whether a person has 1 star or 5 stars. The value here is the interaction between us as modelers: Sharing information, experiences, asking questions, and reading the wide variety of opinions.

As a teen, I was considered a little "odd" by my peers as it seemed like only one in 50 kids I met would have a strong interest in trains. Today, with forums like this modelers and railfans no longer need to feel isolated. Just smile and join in on the fun!!

It's a fun way to highlight how many posts someone has made. They have no meaning beyond that. Personally, I like them.
Enjoy

If you're having fun, you're doing it the right way.

The stars come from the number of posts you have made. I don't know all of the numbers, but I know one star is 50 posts, and two stars is 100 posts. Looks like you'll be there pretty quick.
