A minor mile stone

Hi all, this is post #1,000 for me. So I thought I would celebrate with my fellow members here, it's hard to believe that I've been here for two years now.:cheesy:

Nope. It's a user rating out of 5. At the moment ~s.o.s~ is doing pretty good, while I am doing really crappy, and Dani is doing extremely well... :twisted:

It's actually capped at 10 stars. :) No new stars for me. :(

Congratulations girly on the 10K postings. I ain't too far away, just need 5K more to reach you... :sad:

As far as the stars are concerned, you can always come up with something innovative, like keeping a shiny animated and a somewhat bigger star which denotes 10K posting mark. Don't tell me you haven't thought about it yet..:twisted:

It's a minor concern, but I think that the stars are a little bit deceptive for new users. It looks like a "user rating", and so the members that have just broken 1k look like really crappy users. I know that's what I thought when I first entered this forum.

Dunno, but the thought of a newbie thinking that I'm a really lousy member bugs me :mrgreen:
