There.
I also rearranged the "rankings". So with the stars may have come a demotion, but fear not, there are some fun ranks to attain to.

Hold on just a damn minute! This is getting waaay too much like some sort of online guild/cult/fraternity thing. Now Jeff has three stars and I have only two. Is this based on minimal quality standards of one's posts or what? I want to petition the cult priests, or union organizers, or fat rich guys that are clearly running this thing for two more stars. I'll pay whatever it takes. I didn't buy my way into this thing just to be shown up by some fly-by-night hack from Princeton. I want more stars
Todd
Yeah! I was one of the first on here. And I have a masters degree! I deserve more stars!

ignore this post... just checking to see how many starts *I* have.
*WHEW...* I got 3. I was demoted down to a journeyman tho! Geeze... is this related to my last pipe I posted in the gallery forum? You could have just posted your critique on the post Tyler, you don't have to be all secretive if you think my level of performance is dropping...

Don't worry Todd. Just fill out the application (typed of course), solicit 15 recommendations from the approved pipemakers list, make 43 photocopies (and one more for your record if you'd like, just to be safe), and mail them to the new Tyler Lane Pipes Order Processing Facility in Calcutta, India with 43 self-addressed stamped envelopes. After the 1 month mandatory sterilization, fumigation, and waiting period your applications will be filed in the queue to be processed in 6-8 weeks. Once processed, your application will be approved, rejected, or mailed back in 43 distinct packets for clarification. If approved you need only submit to a mandatory drug test and cavity search (not a dental procedure 8O), shave your head, spin around three times, chant the pipemaker's mantra until in a trance, sacrifice your firstborn (sorry), and mail in your acceptance and $500 upgrade fee within 3 days by certified mail through the new Membership Upgrade Facility in Budapest. No bureaucracy, no problem!
Jeff
P.S. Dammit! I'm a Journeyman again! I guess I'll have to lower my prices to reflect the rank change. Oh, and because the stars indicate the required price range that we are allowed to sell our wares within, I'll buy up your whole stock Todd. The $50 check for payment and shipping is in the mail.

hahaha...
man who knew it was going to be this fun to pick on the better pipe makers just because we ask more "stupider" questions?

I DEMAND A RECOUNT! It is clear that Tyler is in my opponents' back pocket! I submit to you that he has been secretly removing my posts and posting under multiple names for other posters so as to reflect a disproportionate number of postings for said posters. If I do not receive more stars within 7 days, I will start snapping the shanks of finished pipes. That is all.

It states clearly in the by-laws that a recount is mandatory only when the margin of loss is less than one star. You are clearly a full star behind the rest of us, thus no recount can be granted.

I am in CHARGE here, and I will not bend to requests such as recounts or other tomfoolery to thwart that which is mine, and mine alone, to decide.
After all this lip, I have half a mind to bust you all back to the rank of NEWBIE.
Actually this thread is cracking me up. I love it when I scare Todd because he realizes he can't cut it.

Look here Mr. "I got a bunch of stars just because I run the site", don't try to pull rank on me! We all know how you got those stars!
