I always thought the stars were given by the mods when you post a really good question, or a really good tech tip. Guess not.

Hey Van Steel -- nice way to insult your key demographics

EDIT: I was going to ask if there was a bigger post ***** than Corz, but then I saw my post count.

I think GrandSportC3 has us all covered though.

Back to the TECH!!!!!
AH HA!!!! It looks like it's time to crank up the "let's split the C3 forum up" thread again!!! We need a tech forum so that we can isolate all the "Doesn't my wife look pretty (she doesn't) in my new Vette (the car is a clunker) and what color should I paint it to match her pantyhose (black with lots of runs in it)?" posts.

All in favor say aye to a tech section for the C3 forum!!!



Dep...infamous rabble rouser of the C3 Fourm. Oh yeah...the stars are an ego thing for those that have 1975-80 Caprice engined "Corvettes".

Dep, you must have missed the "Split" thread from a couple of weeks ago. Budman78, Twin Turbo, and I kept it going for a while to try and get our point across... I'll have to see if I can find it so that you can vote.

By all means post the link!!! I like to keep up on the progress of the split consortium. I'm rather "irregular" poster here so I don't catch all the stuff like some of the guys with the rainbow stars

You have to contribute big $$ to lose that. I'll e-mail you my address and you can send a money order to me and I'll handle things from my end

If your trying to get your NUMBER OF POSTS UP... then how about sorting your forum thread list based on replies and go to the end (0 replies). Some of these guys need help but keeping getting pushed down...

I almost always get a big THANK YOU when I cruise these and lend a hand....usually followed by a ...did'nt think I was ever going to get any help".

The following is the current post vs. star schedule.

20 to 500 = 2 Stars, blue
500 to 1000= 3 Stars, gold
1000 to 2000 = 4 Stars, purple
2000 to 3000 = 5 Stars, green
3000 to 4000 = 5 Stars, combo - green, purple
4000 to 5000 = 5 Stars, combo - gold, purple
5000 to 6000 = 6 Stars, combo - purple blue
6000 to 10000 = 8 Stars, combo - purple, green, blue
> 10000 = 9 Stars, red, white blue
I was wondering how this worked.

Thank You for clearing this up.
