My first star
Posted by preceng on Friday, October 31, 2003 7:51 PM
Hey, I got a star next to my name[:)][:0]. What do I win? I am soooo excited, but does this mean I am quenching an never ending thirst for knowledge, or am I just a sad 40+ year old pounding on my computer?

Someone teach me the secret handshake.

Someday I will have a star... and then.... and then I will get the respect that I deserve!

Seriously are the stars just little novelties or do they represent something? I noticed that they are different colors too... WHat does that mean?

I think they've got something to do with the number of posts you have made - I got a second star when I made my 100th post.

Stars represent ranking in reference to number of posts.

1 star = 50 to 99 posts
2 stars = 100 to 499 posts
3 stars = 500 to 999 posts
4 stars = 1000 to 1499


So post away and one of these days you'll see stars. [;)]

Bit of a jump between the second and third stars!

I got mine out of sheer boredom, because I usually am on while my
latest project is drying or setting up for the next step.
