How do we get the stars?

Anybody know for sure how Trains calculates the number of stars each of us get? I guess it has something to do with the level of activity on the forum site, but I sure would be interested to know the details. Thanks, Jim

I think you’ll get your third star after 500 postings, and your fourth after 1000.

Carl (in no hurry)

first one is 50, second is 100 – I think…

of posts= # of *

50=*
100=**
500=***
1000=****
?=***** (is such a thing possible?)

Like Carl, I’m in no hurry. I’d rather be known for quality than quantity.

Finally,I find out how the star system works! Now,what do the different colors mean?[?]

I doubt we’ll ever seen anyone over 1000. [:p]

5 stars = 2,000 postings. Check out Mookie and some of the others…

It’s gonna take me a little while to get to that next one but I’m closer now!

I think they should award diamonds - and Mookie will then make 7 fingers and no thumbs available. (Got ten toes, too!)
