It would be nice if our stars and thread count form TOB could come with us. Anyone agree.
About the same time you're dragging your knees through a series of tight left-right-handers on Sunday afternoon, some guy in white shoes is sweating a 3-foot putt. Go figure.

I paid the $25 to be a Titanium member about 2 weeks before the end.  It never showed me as a Titanium member so I hope somehow it didn't go through.

It would be extremely difficult for us manage that, sorry.  We would have to cross reference each member, and then add posts here to get up to the same amount.

If you are worried about the money, I am sure you can shoot Jeff H. at monsterparts.com an email - I think he was still processing the Ti packages - I don't know for sure though.

My philosophy is that this is a different board, not a reboot of another one.

I, too, cringe a bit when I see my stars and post count here. It wasn't very high on The Other Board (4 stars, 474 posts), and it took a year and a half to get there (at just under one post per day, average), but it was less newbie-ish than it is here. I figure in another year and a half I'll be somewhere in the same vicinity on this board.

yeah but if you get yourself  a lifetime ban at TOB then your internet penis will grow 8"  [thumbsup]
All my best ideas get me into trouble.

I am reminded of the immortal words of Socrates when he said, 'I drank what?!'

Some people are like Slinkies ... Not really good for anything..... But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

What this forum needs right now is a bunch of quality posts.  The forum is no good without content worth reading.

Making posts with the total content being a couple of smilies or some variant of LOL doesn't actually add much of value.

If you want stars, you have to earn them.

Quality is subjective, no?  Expressing appreciation at someone's posting builds community. Personally I value that as much as jokes about boobies and WD-40 being a good cleaning agent.   As long as nobody is injured in the making of such comments- post away, says I!

Stars I could care less about.   /shrug

I don't know... I was just about to break 1000 and now I am at 9.  The 1000 posts included a lot of "accessories and mod" threads and not a lot of chatter.  Too bad I can't bring some of my archives over.  But I will candidly admint I like this forum better.  Well, really, it looks like the old DML.  I hope the mods don't sell this forum.  Good job! to the SUPER 8 and who ever else contributed to this forum.

+1 on not caring about stars. although I didnt have many by comparison (@400).

But concerning onesself about a high post count is reminiscent of some somewhat juvenile boards ( vwvortex sometimes) where people seem to "Shotgun blast" the boards with tiny quips.

I enjoy reading ALL posts and contrubute sometimes ( sometimes I shouldnt).. but are stars and post counts really necessary?

or just bragging rights?.......






I have a small e-penis [bang]
