Does it really matter how many stars someone has, codyr?
Ok here’s the star system:
50 posts: 1 purple star
100 posts: 2 blue stars
500 posts: 3 green stars
1000 posts: 4 orange stars
2000 posts: 5 red stars
I thought my stars were gold as opposed to orange.
Same thing, Aggro. We’ll call them goldish orange. [:p]
Another (non-railroad) forum I participate in has an individual with over 10,000 posts. Often long, unintelligibe rants, often repeating many of his previous posts and recently, he’s recently taken to making racist and religiously disparaging comments.
This is not to say I’ve seen anything similar in these forums by the more active participants. Just pointing out that like most things in life, it’s quality, not quantity that counts.Life’s not a race. When you get quality in quantity, count your blessings.

I remember there was a guy like that on the ArsTechnica boards a while back ago his name was PeterB, that guy was crazy he had well over 10000.
On a large (non-railroad) forum I frequent, it got so bad that they created a separate sub-forum called “Gimme My Stars” and the guys who were just getting their thrills by posting one word or one liners back and forth tended to hang out over there by themselves. Personally, I don’t understand the fascination, but what do I know?
The guys with the larger post counts here seem to have gotten there with meaningful posts, as far as I can tell in my limited time here. Well, “meaningful” if you extend the term to include posts about Horribly Oversized topics. [:D]

(that was a joke, in case the inclusion of the smiley face wasn’t enough to identify it!!)
