                        Stars...

                        It's kinda like first grade when the teacher would hand them out... only this time you actually GET a star like everyone else... not a frowny face on your report card, and note to your parents to meet with her.

                        I figured I might as well just type something and get closer to my next star too.......

                        cirikili think of it this way. the more you post the more stars you get. the more stars you get the more your name is recognized. but the more you post the less you build, the less you build the .................now i forgot what i was going to say. ahhhhh wwweeeelllll, chalk it up to another post.

                        Buy lots of model kits, don't open them, put them on the shelf and spend all your time on the forum. That'll get you lots of stars. or do like i do, stay up late at nightMischief [:-,] yeh i know i only got one star but look at all the sleep i've lost

                        True. On more than one ocassion, new members have posted bristling tirades against being labeled ""Snap Together." Of course, that was before they understood the "ranking" system, which, of course, has no bearing on their actual modeling ability. Of course!

                        I think it's just a fun way of notating how active folks are here in the forums (and not at their workbenches!).

                        Yeah, so I'm a blabbermouth. What of it???Wink [;)]Big Smile [:D]

                        I think the use of stars is nice because it gives the reader a quick idea of the experience of the posterSmile [:)] One thing I am not sure about is the name tags associated with the starsConfused [%-)] Could they not be degrading to someoneQuestion [?]
                        Just a thoughtMy 2 cents [2c]

                        Well, I guess I got one more toward the blabbermouth corpsMischief [:-,]Wink [;)]Laugh [(-D]Laugh [(-D]Laugh [(-D]
