I think since I have been past clinically insane a time or so, that I should be able to get something other than the stars I have. The colors annoy me.

So maybe...



Pretty please?

there are way too many clinically insane around here now. It used to mean something when cipher was around. Now guys sign up and a year later they're over 10k because they post exclusively in the lounge or political war lounge.

I recommend that lounge and pol-war lounge posts count .25 of regular non-lounge posts.

Well I used to be the "King Of Nothingness" per my request. I also requested plain white stars.

One of the two got done. (Not that the mods had any obligation to do either)

Or maybe just change mine back to green? I can't stand the multi-colors.

I'd could even get the title "cracker"

King of Nothingness was pretty funny.

Here's a vote for white stars for Kevin.

Call me picky, but I think you have to keep using the old account to do such a thing.

As of right now your 'account' has 13,000 posts.

They can slap on the 36k posts from the other account if they want.

When they get over 20k posts they can.

That is how the 10k post starts started. We need stars for 20k+ posts.

When some people have no other way of achieving relevancy they try acting as a self-appointed arbiter.

Zimphire retired his account voluntarily and had he NOT done so his post count would make your head spin.

Why don't you go and call for a thread to be locked or something?

Oh, and congrats on #2,000.

No, but he edited his post to reflect it since it was post 2000 that was my response to him.

Total I would guess. I have I think 50k posts I think total.

Zimph account has 36k, this one 13k

I think the Sine account had 2k.

It's weird, I remember when the Zimph account was brushing up against 20k, but I'll be damned if I remember anything after that. I must have still been an irregular poster at that time.

I'm in the 20k club, so keep me posted when you get the stars changed over.

I think 50th = silver (which the white stars kinda looks like) would be fitting.

I would even tolerate a semi-insulting title if I got said stars.. (making deals now)

Thanks!

Since the member list is continually disabled, anyone got a list of all the 10k club members off the top of their head?

I think I can start with:

Kevin
Chuckit
Spliffdaddy
Mindfad
Starman
Rickey

Edit:
Cipher

Cipher was the first. It was made for him. Then anyone hitting 10k got it as well. They just didn't make a 20k, 30k, 40k, like they should have.

the new stars will look a bit different. so maybe you should wait for that (and the revamped ranking system) before requesting anything.

Yes, no need to get antsy until you've been waiting at least two years.

I requested the same stars two years ago and you gave me this same answer.

But alas, I will wait....

Here is a good picture of a badminton birdie you mods can use to generate my star replacements once I hit 10,000...

You'll have to remove the grass background, but I'm sure one of you guys have some graphic design chops and could cut it, and if not you can always hire illegal immigrants.
