Does it really matter? The quantity of stars is not always an indication of the quality of posts.

So long folks!

Just curious. I agree that quality of topics is more important than quantity. Tongue [:P]

That's true but it nice to know if someone is a novice on the forum.
Sometimes novices need a few pointers on where to ask questions and other forum related matters (no advertising, buying, selling etc.)

True enough! Look at me 522 posts and 3 stars. I'm confused with somebody who knows something, all the time! Big Smile [:D]

I use the post count as a way of measuring forum knowledge, not stars. I'm hoping that they change that system with the new forums...

Spurdog, I didn't mean anything nasty (and I didn't really know!), But I hope you enjoy yourself here!

So long folks!

No stars! Wel, I do hope we keep post-counts. As I explained above, I feel they have a limited function in organization of the forum.

I think a one post member can contribute as well as a 1000 post member (like me)-I think the post count really only indicates your involvement in the FSM Forums and not the hobby. But, post away folks-it's all fun to read (mostly). If there are changes coming I do hope you FSM folks retain off-topic stuff-i feel these topics do concern modelers even if they don't have much to do with modeling-after all, we're still people aren't we? Except for the glue and paint fumes.
