Do we have a promotion system back, or is it still by post count?

The applebutter dance was in response to all the negative press that the previous platinum initiation process received.

Thanks Jmac, I knew about the post count star system.

The stars given was basically just mods playing favorites then? If they liked you more you got more stars?

Pretty much, but the Regulars forum was used more then. Was like T&O without idiocy.

There were many idiots who were entirely too retarded to be there.

Also, if I remember correctly instead of strikes like now stars were taken away.

Maybe to a certain extent, but I think they kept a pretty good watch our the New Players forum to see who was actually helping and who wasn't. Before I got my 2nd star, I spent a lot of time in the New Players forum helping people out.

Heh.  Careful what you ask for.

Generally the ones who "Ask" for a title are given some pretty embarrassing ones if memory serves correctly.

Can't remember who the last one to ask for a title was though.

Okay, so tied into Sangreti's sig, his title is pretty funny.

But I'm a little jealous.  I don't have a title.

No detrevni.

In my slight inkling of caring, I could care less.

or

You don't care at all, so you couldn't care less.

Works either way, kthxbye
