Not only that, but you may never have a social life, you will forget about girls alltogather, and when asked by coworkers how your weekend was you tell them all about your flightsim adventures

There you go I have added a pole as I am a sad sad person!

not really.
generally this isnt a forum which bases respect on post numbers, but how much help a person puts into their posts.
we tend to try and not pick on someone because they are new, sadly LOL:)
just kidding

hi agamer. hav u ever thought that maybe by posting messages on here they might get more stars and they could hav voted already.

Quote:


When you get five stars you are also able to decipher other Members text messages.....

"Oh, wait. I see now. You can change your vote! Cool!"

There you are you see, with a little bit of ingenuity, it can be done... ...!

I usually type full words (I'm becoming a more formal-type member). I used to type with crypted words. But as I progressed through the ranks, I decided to type like an adult (in fact, I am!! I'm 19 as of October 10, 2003). Go figure.

Very True.

When I first came here, I knew nothing. But as my knowledge increased and as my 3-D modeling skills improved, I have been asked (not long ago) to help some people with their projects (due to my DVC-modeling, Aircraft-modeling, and Car-modeling skills).

You know what, I think that there should be new ranks for this forum. I mean, there are some people that have already reached their 2,000th post and they are still designated as Residents.

Suggested Ranks to install:

6 stars - Valued Resident (1,000 posts)
7 stars - Perminent Resident (1,500 posts)
8 stars - Major (2,000 posts)
9 stars - Colonel (2,500 posts)
10 stars - General (3,000 posts)

Ok, so I have gone a little overboard with the rank names and number of stars. But hey, it's a start.

LMAO!!

Katahu, that sounds like a pretty good idea, but the names will have to change.  I have always noticed that the "ranks" around here are very much non-military, which I like very much.

How about:

1000 = Special Resident
2000 = Permanent Resident
3000 = Master Resident

Go to the Suggestions forum and look for a thread called 'Stars' and you'll see several suggestions for new categories.  I made some, Ken made some, etc...

When you have accumulated five stars you will also be able to decipher and write Mandarin manuscripts, Old English, Latin, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Cyrillic, etc.... ...!

AVE YOU UPDATED THE POLE FOR YOUR SCORE LANDMIYNE

sox for shouting hit the cap key!

I know I have been bitching about the loss of my posts and stars, but that was because I had a pride in trying to truely contribute to a forun I have come to love, and they served as a reminder of just how many friends I'd made and how often I had tried to be helpful, but now it seems, for some members, the acquisition of posts and stars has become nothing more than a race to see who can get the most the quickest.

             Fido   

Agamer - Its not a race to get to 100000000000000 posts . Ive been looking at the forums for about 2 years and have only made 179 posts (still seems an awfull lot). I try to make posts when I think I can help the most (although I don't know much about most things) or add an interesting point.
 By my calculations I shall have 4 stars in about another year.

PS. Hi GraigL, im updating my Bristol scenery for FS2004, Unfortunately I lost all my objects i had made (post in the scenery design forum). Do you know a site which has any photos of the airport buildings and stuff? I just did them as good as I could remember before but as im doing them again it would be nice to get them as lifelike as possible.
