It depends on how important it is to you to be one of the "pretty people". If you're happy being yourself and aren't overly concerned about what some guy sitting behind a computer halfway around the world thinks of your latest post trash talking his favorite funny-book character then less is better. thumbsup2.gif

He's kidding whet. The stars really don't mean a thing. It's just a way for users to rate one another. As far as I know there is no way to tell who rated you what, other than asking them.

Trust me, I see myself every morning... and it ain't pretty.

 

(P.S. I think this is responsible for 3 of my stars.)

 

Well, there is the "feeling sorry for Valiant collectors" aspect, but I'd say you earned those stars with actual time invested in producing a tool that benefits (or could if they use it) pretty much everyone here......for free. thumbsup2.gif

No one's "feeling sorry for Valiant collectors" here and handing out stars.

 

When I first got here, I was a solid one/two star guy just for mentioning "Valiant".

 

Wait a minute... are you guys coming around? Pity is so much better than hatred.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but- there was only one ranting lunatic that actually showed you some (spiteful, venomous, out of control, borderline obsessive) hatred for what you collect, right? Other people may have given you a little bit of a hard time, but I can only really recall one royal [!@#%^&^] who basically equated you to a serial killer for enjoying and promoting Valiants.

You know what? I think you're right.

... and all this time I thought I was offending half the board with each post. grin.gif

Yea, I'm just messin' round. I've never even touched a Valiant and I have to actually read something before I form an opinion of it. And even if I didn't like them I wouldn't get down on someone that did. My attitude in collecting is "If it makes you happy then I'm happy for you."

huh? If you thought I was referring to you, you're wildly mistaken! Light years off the mark smile.gif

 

You may have missed it a while back in the Modern forum, but everyone's favorite poster apparently hates Valiants and anyone that likes them with an unwavering (and unreasonable) passion that borders on the spooky.

I knew who you were talking about. thumbsup2.gif Sorry for the confusion. I was actuly talking to VM in my last post, but quoting yours just seemed appropriate. I just didn't want VM thinking I had anything against Valiants or him for collecting them. I guess it was hard for you to see my eyes looking at VM when I said that. grin.gif

Star Code:

 

If you have:

 

1 star = You must like to sell high dollar raw "unrestored" comics on eBay in private auctions. devil.gif

 

2 stars = You must like to post in the Water Cooler a lot. flamed.gif

 

3 stars = You must not like to post the Water Cooler a lot. grin.gif

 

4 stars = You must like to collect Valiant comics and be a all around nice guy. angel.gif

 

5 stars = You must have compromising pictures of board moderators. 27_laughing.gif
