Thought we'd add some ranks and stars. Cam came up with the following categories:

50 productive poster
250 persistent poster
750 prolific poster
1000 preponderant poster
1500 preternatural poster


I'll have to come up with something else if/when keith and pseud get to 2000.

Nice touch. And I've only six to go...

When is more likely than if, Pseud and I have a side wager for the 2000 slot.

We've had a re-think on the numbers and they are now:

50 productive poster
100 persistent poster
250 prolific poster
750 preponderant poster
1500 preternatural poster

Do you want to reply to this one Keith?? (nearly there)

Congrats to Keith - the first preternatural poster.

I've always thought of you as being "beyond what is human" (superhuman) LOL.

Cheers

Thank you, Cam. I like beyond human, rather than superhuman, less to live up to somehow.

I'll take perspicacious poster as a 2000 mark, if you like...

pseud,

I don't know why you're worried, you've already five stars based on position. All the mods and admin it seems have that (and deservedly so, mark me).

Cheers,

Keith

Don't get to 2000 too quickly as I have run out of stars now. Will have to find something else instead.

Make my name show up in blue (on the main page) and I'll get there in a month flat. I'll have to channel Keats, but it's possible...

Why is blue harder than the yellow and green of the mods and admin? Not bitching, just curious...

Try, quoting obscure movies.

I can't say/type "constituency" without thinking about O Brother Where Art Thou.

Keith - it's not the actual colour blue that's the problem. PHPBB is set up so that the mod and admin ranks have a certain colour which can be changed if you wish. It's not possible to give 1 member a different colour. You would have to have a separate rank and I would have to modify the programming to try and assign that rank another colour.

Not as simple as you would think..
