star?

[pianorama]

What do the stars next to people's username mean? Could someone please explain?

[nilsjohan]

Since the change from pianoforum.net to pianostreet.com they do not mean anytning special.
Silver members have three silver stars and gold members have five gold stars.

[Tash]

actually nils is in denial of the fact that the gold stars secretly mean we are ridiculously good looking, and the elite members of this forum- but the silver starred people aren't meant to know that in case they get jealous...

Didn't I tell you not to mention this...

Why are you angry Nils? Now everyone knows just how dashing and knowledgable you are now since you have 6 stars, 1 more than the gold members.

[Tash]

oops couldn't keep my mouth shut!!


oh yeah nils knows how incredibly hot he is, even if we don't

[stevie]

hahaha, the unspoken secret corruption of the forum, i am a high profile legendary member, and giving me gold status would encourage more people to purchase memberships, but *censored*.

[Tash]

yes there is a massive secret behind the gold membership, it is really a highly elite society of good looking people and you get free steinways and all sheet music and a 90% greater chance of getting into the top music conservatoriums throughout the world, all because you're ridiculously good looking.

but i don't think i was meant to mention that...

Free Steinways? I think you're mistaken.... All gold members get free grand pianos of their choice! Really, Tash. I thought you would have remembered all our privileges by now. Tsk tsk...

[Tash]

oh of course, i wanted a steinway so that's what i have, it's excellent, the biggest grand you can get, takes up my whole room!!! yes i am sitting on the top of my steinway, my laptop desk wouldn't fit anywhere else (i even sleep up here!)

Oh, yeah? Well I bet you can't top my 20 foot Stuart & Sons that is covered with 18k gold, except of course the areas covered with golf ball sized emeralds, sapphires, rubies, diamonds, opals, amethysts, aquamarines, topaz and peridots! It has quite a remarkable tone and action, too. Cost me $72 million.

Each of my stars stands for the pianos I've taken out during a piano duel.  I also paint one of the side my own piano.

The stars originally went along with your number of posts and "member title" like newbie, junior member, full member, etc.   I didn't realize things had changed.

[cziffra]

I liked the old method more.  you could still keep the rich gold and the poor silver.

hmmm that's quite impressive. did i mention that mine was hand painted by myself, inspired by the contemporary australian music of ross edwards, peter sculthorpe and john peterson- total unique one of a kind, i plan on using it at my debut at the sydney opera house, by then i think i will have diamonds placed around the edges to match my diamond tiara and heels

LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

[Tash]

absolutely not!! i never lie!! you're just jealous!!

[quantum]

Yes you are all jealous of my 3 octave electric keyboard, complete with rubber buttons, plastic shell, the huge selection of 5 different sounds, polyphony of 16 notes, 1 pedal, and a cardboard carying case.  I love the touch, it's so light that 3 pennies can press a key down.  Not to mention, the nice looking unique power adapter that requires colourful duct tape to keep it in one piece.   It was such a great deal,  the sales man gave me the black keys for free!

Now now Tash, you still haven't told them the whole truth.  Remember those honorary doctorate degrees Nils gives out. 

[Tash]

but how did you know quantum?!! that's something the silver members aren't meant to know about!!

hmmm if i don't return to this forum in the next few days it is because nils has hunted me down and killed me for spilling the gold member deal...

[gorbee natcase]

As a gold member you get to read all of the silver members personel messages, post in there names (if you wish) and get the right to ban them if you please

[pianorama]

Yes, I'm just glad that I changed to gold as quickly as I did. Luckily I wasn't silver for long enough to be taken advantage of.

:p im just a cheapskate and cant be bothered to pay!
