cr47t Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Just thought I would post this for my 1500th post in the count. Do the stars by your posts, member groups, etc. mean anything to you? Why or why not? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I would say that it used to showcases your knowledge of the site and your experience with it's members but I think it's become vastly irrelevant now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a bad post Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Honestly I still use it when gauging whether or not to join an RP just because newer members tend to write less interesting RPs, and tend to have more difficult time running them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Night's Watch is a group of men who have committed serious mistakes in life, and then consigned to their solitude and anger So yes, it's strangely fitting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I remember joining the Night's Watch once, back when I knew next to funk all about it (regarding its lore in GoT). But yah, I generally don't give a sheet about level now tbph.

goodfusion Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 YES! I absolutely love my member group, I got it for guessing all the monsters in the Halloween event last year. Xyz monsters are cool and I use them in almost every deck! (Although I do wish I was a better Rank. Rank 5 is pretty boring). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 My next post will be my 6000th, and tbh it really makes no difference. I quite enjoy my member group, as it was well-earned, at least in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snatch Steal Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 I'd say it's important because it shows how long you've spent on the forum. Take a kid who's just a Member and compare him to someone with a custom member group, and you'll immediately know who is or was more devoted.

Icy Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Considering I voted for Opalmoon (wherever she is these days) to be a moderator when she was at like 500-600 posts if not less... no, I dont think it matters in most sections. Inside CC yes though because holy sh** site name and expectations of young'ns to visit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 It's worthless. Good for a bit of customizing yourself to look more unique but otherwise no. There are a fair amount of people with lots of stars that I do not particularly respect more than the usual mob and there are new people(although extremely rare now) who can turn out to be a really interesting member. The level just doesn't tell me enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapidfire Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 When I see the 5 stars it reminds me to skir skir bc I spent way too much of my time on here when I was 14 fighting the #system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 YES! I absolutely love my member group, I got it for guessing all the monsters in the Halloween event last year. Xyz monsters are cool and I use them in almost every deck! (Although I do wish I was a better Rank. Rank 5 is pretty boring). Once you hit 5000 posts, I'll modify your logo to be a Rank 6 (but that's a long way coming). As much as it would be less of a pain to replace the standard Level stars with Ranks, I don't think IP.Boards can do that. ===For the most part, I don't really think about my user level and stuff. Yeah, I'm technically a mod right now, but I still class myself as a Level 7 member (well, 32,700+ posts over a span of 8 years, give/take some time off from my hiatus). Not really going to hit the 40K marker for a while (though I do keep 1K increments as I go up; shown with milestone cards in CC.) I forgot if I even did the milestone thing before I left; don't think I did or was for 100 post increments (at which time, posting was several times faster). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 One of my YCM goals is to reach the Legendary Member group since I have been around for a while and joined long ago, so I want to at least accomplish that xDSo yeah, it matters to me in that sense, I guess.

Captain Murphy ☆ Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 i feel like a loser when i see a user who hasn't been here as long as me with more stars than me. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, sadly. Hope she's doing great and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪ Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 For me, levels, member groups and title has it's own meanings that is inevitable.Level or stars shows how much I have contributed to this site and gives me motivation to strive for the highest possible level, making the journey meaningful. The more stars, the better it is (and more shiny it is). It also shows that you've experienced more with the siteWhile member groups are unique and distinct to each other, with their own flavor, color, and style. Well, I'd like to be on a distinct "Musical" member group to show my interest in music and give a special impression to it....Titles are also fun to tamper with since it has almost no limit of creativity and it gives special acknowledgement to its holder....

Simping For Hina Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Night's member title is my name. I think that says enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENMaker Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Makes no difference once you get past 10 posts. Below that you are subhuman. I like having this group, though I miss the 5 million points that were stolen from me by the embittered immigrant Aix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
