New Stars
Yes, the ones right there, under my username. xD
They don't look that great, do they? Especially on a colored background. xD
I was thinking that maybe there could be new stars? This would make Twig less phpBB-default (Ado, what's going on with the MyBB switch? ^^) and it would look nicer. x3
We have people with almost 20,000 posts and their stars are the same as the stars of anyone who has more than 5,000 posts.
I think that we could have something like this:
10 posts / 1 star / Microfiction Scribbler
50 posts / 2 stars / Flash Fiction Scrawler
250 posts / 3 stars / Short Short Story Maker
1000 posts / 4 stars / Short Story Writer
2500 posts / 5 stars / Novelette Scribe
5000 posts / 6 stars / Novella Composer
10000 posts / 1 super-star / Novel Creator
15000 posts / 2 super-stars / Published Author
20000 posts / 3 super-stars / Bestseller
The super-stars (I haven't got a better name for them) would be something like WI spinnies, but they wouldn't be exactly like them. I (and I'm sure a ton of other people) would be willing to make the images.
I'm pretty sure you can change this on forumotion, but if not, then I guess we'd have to wait until MyBB, if MyBB actually happens. xD

Re: New Stars
MyBB switch, we're definitely doing it, but I need to wait until my birthday before we start anything because my parents don't give me official permission until then. xD
Anyway, yeah, I'd kinda like to change these too. ^^ I would've added more stars, but I couldn't think of what else to put for the ranks . . . xDD We need mods to approve this too, and of course the others will have their say, but while we wait, can you help me come up with some fresh names?
Maybe we could wait for the superstars until the 10k post, like on WI, not because I'm trying to copy them but because it just seems more natural. xD We could have the 10 posts be like an uncolored star, and then it lights up at fifty, so that way we just switch all the star numbers up after that?

Of course! I'm editing the first post. It's actually mostly the same things, just slightly more spread out (I'd be a novella creator. xD) and slightly changed.Anyway, yeah, I'd kinda like to change these too. ^^ I would've added more stars, but I couldn't think of what else to put for the ranks . . . xDD We need mods to approve this too, and of course the others will have their say, but while we wait, can you help me come up with some fresh names?

Re: New Stars
I'll go with it.
I'd lose my novel status to be a short story writer, though. xD But it's not like I'd be bothered by it. It's more fair for our top posters.

Re: New Stars
The superstars should so be like...a nova :O Haha, jk, but it would be cool.
I like this idea. I remember stiving for posts..I think I had like...two or three spinnies..maybe four.

Re: New Stars
Oooh, nova. *-* I like that idea - it could explode every ten seconds! Yay! xD Or, um, just look really cool.
Re: New Stars
YESSSSSSS!!! Amazing idea! Why did I not see this, before? T-T
No matter what, I'm forcing myself and WCL to switch over.

Re: New Stars
I think maybe there should be a bigger gap between the Published Author and the Best Seller. Like, 50k posts? I mean, once you get past 20k, what else is there to go for?

Re: New Stars
Yeah, we really do need a revision of those so there's something bigger to go for. xD I wasn't looking that far ahead when I put the stars in place.
Re: New Stars
I don't think that there should be something for 50k yet. When someone starts getting to 49k, which will probably be in a year or so, then I think there could be a new, special star. Shadow could choose it and people would be surprised when they saw it. xD
Re: New Stars
I really like this idea! ^^ We have a lot of amazing artists here who could create some beautiful stars for us.

Re: New Stars
Beautiful stars? Like Rain? That makes me want to ponder his beauty.
But that's an exquisite idea, Ari. Surprises ftw! For now, though, we really should make some better stars. xDD Moooodsies, come vote pleeeease!

Re: New Stars
I said yes, like, a month ago, and I'm still in agreement. (:

Re: New Stars
Ooh, yes, like Rain! I think a sparkly shuriken star would represent him quite well, considering he's a ninja and he likes to wear sparkly suits when he does a body roll.shadowsowner888 wrote:Beautiful stars? Like Rain? That makes me want to ponder his beauty.

Re: New Stars
Ooooookay. xD
I made this really amazical star a few weeks or a month ago but then I exited out of Paint.NET and didn't save it. Dx So I guess we can't use that.

PONDER.
...Erm. Yeah. I've kinda been spying on this thread without posting and I couldn't resist. xD So, yeah, I think it's a good idea...
