I just noticed that it has a "anti-ninja" feature that alerts you if someone post about you!

Yeah, and if someone else posted to the forum before you did(Mr_Mustash!!), you are forced to resubmit your post.  ???
...and the post isn't visible until after you refresh so you think that the post wasn't posted... makes you want to go 'postal'.

Ha ha ha!

When I use a smaller window all of your guys' giant images are shrunken to fit on the screen and some of you end up with little scroll bars on the screen..... Let's see, what else...

The number of stars on your account ONLY shows the number of your stars you have. So there may be a possibility of having EIGHT stars! some day.

When I have a break I will reexamine the post counts of everyone and see if there's a method to the new number system. I believe Man-Faye has become a punishment for spammers, not just spammers, but filthy CHEATER spammers most of all.

The seven stars awarded to Angeltigersharkmonkeypiraterobotbananafannafo Super Jaz are normal
The 7 stars on the Admin, Con chair, and Directors are big and dark (like their hearts).
Moderators have 7 big BLUE stars.

I felt justified making this a new post.
This was a lot easier since the member list shows the titles now.


TITLE-------------POST Count
I greasy, help_____ 0
What's Anime?____ 1-99
Narutard_________ 100-199
Sailor Scout______ 200-399
Chibi____________ 400-799 
Catgirl__________  800-1445 (might stop at 1500, might stop ar 1999)
Bunny Girl _______ 2000-5000?

I now know why the numbers were changed. 400 was declared chibi range so that ecchispice could continue to be chibi on the forum (very sweet of guspasho).

I suppose that Mustash now has a REAL reason to push for 5000 posts, he can be the first Man-Faye on the block. Won't his parents be proud. 9_9

I haven't encountered that yet, myself, but sounds like a good idea, actually.  As for how annoying it is, I guess I'll have to wait & see.

Yes but is our number count going up now or is it still stuck?  :P

Yep just looked and I'm still stuck at 246.

Something else that I noticed, when I log in, it says "Service Temporary Unavailable" or something like that, but when I do it a second time, I get in successfully.

You could use alpha transparency with PNG to work around this, provided that you don't need animation.

Keep in mind that even on the old forums, there was a choice of themes, so you never know what any user's background color is.

Well with the retro-edit of the post counts I need to rework the chart!

TITLE-------------POST Count
I greasy, help _ 0
What's Anime? 1-19
Narutard _____ 20-99
Sailor Scout___ 100-199
Chibi__________ 200-399
Catgirl________ 400-999
Bunny Girl_____ 1000-2236 at least

I'm number 2 instead of number 3 now so I'm not feeling this as much as some people, people who aren't even in the top 10 anymore. 8)
Besides, I like being a Bunny girl!

We know PIE3, but now once you get up to that level you'll be able to enjoy it for a lot longer.


Also, guspasho has made it really really worthwhile to be staff.
Since you know, posts in the staff forum add to the post count.  8)

If you want to show off your post count then just edit your sig on a regular basis with the ammount of spam posts you have.
Maybe someone could even code up som java to update the number automatically.

You can still see how many spam forum posts you have by looking at your profile and clicking the stats link. The total posts count all your posts except spam, but the number of spam forum posts is listed in the by-forum breakdown of your posts.

Check Mustash's profile for an extreme example.

ACK! Could I maybe be put back to six stars like I was before? *hopes*

I think the best outcome here would be to grant Mustash 7 stars, but code them to be transparent.

King of all spam, shouldn't you have given him a spamking? lol!!

It seems a touch more involved to send Personal Messages, now.

And there was something that I thought was a good thing, but forgot it once I got to work. Sorry, if and when I remember it, I make a new topic and dedicate it to the spamking.
