| The more apple butter involved the harder it is to hang onto your stars. It's really slippery stuff, makes KY look like super glue. I've had as many as three at a time but let them all slip. Now after all of the pain and the humiliation I only have the smell of apples and the ritual scarring to remember it by. |

They should adopt a new ranking system. Have one based on posts, like everyone forum on the internet. -------------

What's the point of a ranking system based on posts? Why not just have post counts, then? Those ranking systems add nothing. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

I guess there is not. I just look at some of the other discussion boards that I am on. They all rank the same. -------------

But if you do that the people who post copious amounts of garbage will have high rankings. Whereas the people who contribute well to the forum may have no ranking. -------------

The 'Stars' and 'ranks' are purely arbitrary decisions that merely determine who is part of the clique. It has no relation to the real world or anything actually significant in any way. Just keep that in mind.

Um, no. Most of the older gold members and platinum members earned the stars by helping people out. And if you want to get technical, then what is the point of coming here? It obviously doesn't effect the real world. -------------

| im personally not worried about ranking, while its cool to have stars ( i wouldnt mind an extra lol) isnt this forum just for fun, talkin and stuff? so why does it matter that someone has more stars than i do....i mean, all we do is point out little things about each other and laugh and them most of the time anyway.... a lot like my high school lol |

It took me about a year and a half to two years to get gold, then after that I started hanging out in T&O a lot more, and now I never leave.

well, thats the problem. i constantly hear about noobies and how much they suck, but no one ever helps. i admit ive done my share of flaming, but im trying to help where i can. its why i have a huge daily post count, which i think is now like 8 or something. nonetheless, im running out of answers. we need you experienced members getting out there and helping the wee people! ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Unofortunetly most of the "expreienced people" know as much as the wee people.

well, i do notice a lot of repeated statements, like "wrong forum n00b!!11!" and the like, but i still leave my thoughts for anyone to read and use if they want. hopefully the more people who post serious inquiries, the more people will understand whats going on. i try to do my thing. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Yeah i figure, just tell them what they are asking. Nothing is more pointless than 13 dorks telling them its the wrong forum. You get things done so much quicker if you just answer the question, it really wont kill you. Honest. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

Hmm... must of never read any of my posts, seems like I'm the only one who is "which gun is best" area anymore, and I'm usally always answering posts in New players and Upgrades & Customizing, and I'm usally floating around in Gun maintaince area just to make sure no one is filled with some wild bull crap. -------------

After a bout a year of being here i got my 2nd star. Then after that
came the 3rd. That was back in the day, when i used to post everywhere
and try to help. Now I'm just a lonely bitter forumer who sits in
T&O and posts nothing but bitter, unnecesary things.

Lol - I think that's the cycle. People start out being helpful in the nether forums, but after answering "RT or E-Grip" for the 111th time, they come to T&O and never leave. The next stage is to retreat to the Regulars' Forum, and only post once every six months to see what has changed, and complain about how the forum used to be better. |
