I remember they were part of a post that used to be a sticky but is now buried deep in the past. Can we put those somewhere that can be easily found?

They were posted in the theme beta forum during discussion, but I'm not sure if there was a public sticky. Also, the crazy-stars were not part of the redesign set, I had to recreate them a few months ago. Here is the current set.
Stars ---- Posts ---- Title
 _____1 . Fresh-Faced Recruit
 ____50 . Junior Member
 ___100 . Forum Regular
 ___200 . Dedicated MacNNer

 _1,000 . Mac Elite
 _2,500 . Professional Poster
 _5,000 . Addicted to MacNN
 10,000 . Posting Junkie
 15,000 . Clinically Insane

Sure.
But only those that the mods and admins feel are worthy of them will actually get any.

Custom stars are given out for service to the forums. Outside of staff members, there are just 7 people with them today:
4 retired staff members who kept their stars.
effgee, did the redesign.
rickey939, helped during the redesign I think - you'd have to ask someone else for the details.
Cipher13 (insane stars) - his total got messed up, this was a fix rather than for forum help. But then, technically they aren't custom either - they look much like those of besson3c and turtle777.

That kind of power should not be wasted on you.

This is because of the "banned" comment, isn't it?

In all honesty, few people bring in more ad revenue through page loads. They owe you for that.

I think anyone who has been here since before 2000 should get custom stars.
Oh hey look! That includes me, what a coinky-dink.

I think anyone who has added traffic to the Gaming forum (i.e. the Dead Zone) gets custom stars.
(This is quickly devolving into a "everyone gets a trophy" type situation.)
