I think you gotta pay with real money, not the stuff you make up in your head.

Don't worry, N_C. You'll get your star. I take mine out and admire it in inclimate weather. It really brightens the day. Mine took less time, but I bypassed Paypal. That might be the issue.

Remember this site is a volunteer thing, it's not like Joe has an army of customer service technicians just waiting for orders.
I think it took around a week to get my star. You've been un-upgraded for almost four years, another week won't kill ya.

But seriously, joe is really the only one who sees that side. I can do the upgrades but I do so without real proof that I can cross check. If Joe takes a week off, it will generally take a week to upgrade. If joe is on site and see the paypal receipt he will upgrade you in minutes.

I think bikeforums has far more information and less flame wars than any other site does. so anything I can do to help it along is a good thing.
