Could be today, tomorrow, or knowing how many posts you make, soon. I'd just say to not get too many ideas piqued at the number, or they could be randomized worse than the Tardis' machine. Yeah, don't know what a Tardis' machine is...and I am probably a better human being for NOT knowing. I know the number can be changed...I do it a lot on the Pam forum. I just like to try and have meaningful advances...kind of like my 5,000th post...even though that was not an increase in rank. Tardis is a blue police box in "Doctor Who." You ought to at least take a quick look at the show to see it (it's in the opening credits, so you don't have to watch the show if you don't. ) Yes... I know you change numbers there because MyTatuo's climbing out of a very deep hole there to just get to the basement at the lowest point of Earth's crust. And still... it'll ruin the surprise if we give ya a hint on the number of posts to reach a sixth star. For all you know... it could be gavels and dog biscuits.

No...I meant the number of posts it takes to reach a certain rank can be changed. MyTatuo was a special case on the Pam forum for his actual post count. Why would it ruin the surprise if you told us what the number was for the next rank? Who cares if it is the GAH emblem, dog biscuits, gavels or what? I have gavels on the Pam forum. I don't care about the "star" or whatever...I don't really care about the next rank (although I am curious)...I mainly want to know the number where it kicks in.

Obviously between 1,500 and maybe 25,000... it's obviously not 5,000

I guess I don't see what it would give away. The only detriment to telling people is that it might create a lot more fluff posts...there are a lot on this forum overall. None by you I know, Mel, but a lot depending on the person and how long they have been here.

YOu realize that you have been on the board for less time than anyone except the mods and me (as far as regular posters), and have at least 800 posts more than the second wordiest member. Now, length of posts... yes, for the most part I'm very verbose. I've had to trim posts down because they exceeded the max length for one.

Geez...you think you were going to develop a complex about it. I have pretty long posts at times...all mine usually add to something. I have had some posts that did not, but not enough to bring me down to under 5K where you are. I guess MyTatuo might get his wish and I might post here more...been meaning to anyway. For a while, I guess. Maybe I can find it out before I never come back.

And no, I don't have a complex... except when people tell me I don't know how to shoot photos and such.

Well, the sixth star came to me at post 10,000. I got the rank of LITTLE GREEN GUY, which is funny since I am taller than GG. I would prefer to go back to my other rank as WIZARD OF THE FIFTH RING. I am more suited to it. MelMac would make a better Little Green Guy.

Thanks everyone. Thanks MyTatuo for giving me back my old rank as well. It just suits me better I think.

You sound touchy. Well... at one point I remember hearing the sixth star was going to come at 15,000 posts, so I can see MyTatuo's light touch of sarcasm.

But most stars you can have I think is 10, and add a custom rank, title, pic and slogan, you can look like you're ready for a military ball in the old movies with all those awards.
