Nothing to aspire to...

Just noticed I passed the 7k mark. There were no fireworks, dancing, girls, or fanfare of any kind. Heck, I wasn't even greeted by the village idiot (due to the fact he recently got banned).

Shirley, there has got to be some additional colored stars available. Don't tell me your crayon box only has like 6 colors in it. If so, your momma is cheap and needs to spring for a bigger box.

I propose some new stars for those who have painted the walls of our house of text with their thoughts, queries (spell check didn't like how I had spelled it with Idol in mind), reviews, news, stories, laughs, challenges, and even the prolonged tail droppings. Those members deserve some additional recognition, IMO.

How about (in order, I think)...

Legend 10k

A previous forum I'm on installed these classes, and then removed the equivalent of the current veteran class. The mods then gave the veteran class to people as a sort of VIP treatment. They kept giving them to anyone who would (per your example) almost hit the Legend 10k threshold. It made for some awesome hilarity when even with new classes, everything stayed the exact same.

Were the classes exactly the same as the names I came up with? I pulled them entirely out of my head because I thought they were decent enough to suggest. It would give me a pretty solid laugh if they were all being used (or, as you said, not used) somewhere.

I'm certainly open to other suggestions for the classes. I just think there should be something more. 5k for some of the old timers is NOTHING. Just the same as some of us change our avys and sigys on a regular basis- simply to keep things not so stale, an extension of the classes would be worthwhile.

EDIT- I'm not suggesting any kind of VIP treatment. That would be a different request, and not one I'd necessarily back, TBH.

I want a VIP class, but I want the credentials to be that you have the exact same post count as mjmacky. It should shift with my post count. Also, I want special treatment, like the power to post as other members.

40K is a toss up between Contemplating suicide and Considers Mary a close and personal friend
Over 50K you get to kill any other member no questions asked.

Perhaps anyone over 10k posts could receive an electronic shocking device similar to a stun-gun which would be triggered by their placing of an additional post. While not all individuals would be smart enough to make the external stimuli connection, and would continue to post once regaining consciousness, others may eventually realize the err of their ways.

Nice twist on the classes, Idol. Gave me a really good early mourning laugh.

Well, that's not something really hard to create, it's easily modifiable.

But look at it on a newbie's PoV : what all these colors mean? What's the difference, say, between pinks and cyan? Who is staff and who is not?

Yes I can see that there might be some problems associated with being stupid.

Doesn't have to be a different color for all, grey stars could remain and only the title would change.

That might work, then nobody would have to get their mom to buy more crayons. Win/Win.
