News & Announcements - One star, two stars, red stars, blue stars

C'mon, KP! She is the Bike Angel Emeritus here...I designated her as such.

You don't posess the Force against that magnatude...

I don't think KP would ban me, but thank you for the Emeritus status :p .

OK, a potentially related question. I have a red star, and an Igor... and I know what they mean. I also know what a blue star means.

Now, I am beginning to notice that some people (including myself) have red names... What's the deal?

I think that means they are or aren't online.

How much would I have to pay to take potshots on the Banned Users thread? It's my favorite, better than the obituaries, and I would pay good money to be able to throw in an LOL or two after some of these goofballs get the hammer.

I think that means they are or aren't online.

That makes sense... Thanks.

As far as your other point, the announcement I read a while ago about the thread pretty much said that any such activity would be frowned upon...

LD, yes, the red name indicates that you are online, but you can be online and have your name remain black if you want to do as KP does, and operate in stealth mode :D .

KP, sorry, as LD says, as much as you might enjoy it, that would not be polite.

Ummm...how much are you offering :D ?

This new icon will not give you superpowers, or even make the ads disappear. (Although if you have a red star, and get the new icon, you won't see ads)

I see no ads here, never have and i have no stars against my name. Must be one of my browser plugins blocking them, shame that.

You broke your vow of silence to tell us this?

Blue = The Man
Eagle = Sheldon Brown commemorative
Shirt = Titanium club :rolleyes:
Red = Donating member from once upon a time. It's also the coolest.

This could use a bump.

Shirt = Titanium club :rolleyes:

Why the rolling of the eyes? Is supporting the site not appreciated?

The Titanium Club was not exactly a success by any measure.

the titanium club reeks of failure.

Shoot me a PM for my honest opinion.

At least the Titanium Club is exclusive............................errr.

Lookie - I simply laid out some coin so I wouldn't be bombarded with advertisements. I didn't even know I was getting a so-called Titanium Membership. Took me quite awhile to discover I was now a Titanium Member.

I'd like to be switched to a different element. Can I be an Iridium Member, please?

how does that Groucho Marx quote go?

"I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members."

Actually it was W.C. Fields who first made that lil' nugget popular. Along with such notables as: "Who put pineapple juice in my pineapple juice? The very idea!" And "Little boy, I seem to have run over your ball with my automobile-tire. Several times."
