...about the stars-and-ranking system around here. And please tell me, for the love of all that's good and holy, what the hell is a McVitie? Isn't it something British, which I am not? Help a gal out here, 'cause I'm feelin' like a tard.  :-\\

  Post more, rise in rank faster.

Okay, well.. the ranking system works as follows:

Each time someone goes up a ranking, which happens at certain levels, I think 0, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, etc etc... (we're not sure where it ends yet. Chucky hasn't given us any indication that it plateaus at 5,000 or 10,000 or what as yet). And I can't remember the rankings off the top of my head.. maybe someone else could help me.

As for a McVitie (being the expert on British chocolate snacks that I am), they are (amongst other things) a Great British chocolate manufacturer, owned by, if memory serves, United Biscuits, proliferator of those marvellous things, Jaffa Cakes.

I hope this helps. I couldn't find McVitie mentioned in any other context, though, other than a family name.

Thanks Bobo! I knew McVitie was a British candy manufacturer, but I wasn't sure if there was some other secret meaning here! I just like to know these things...

Not so...a few of us (including me) have broken the 5000 mark; the ranking there is Badtz Maru. I guess the next stop is 10,000.

We'll find out soon enough, I guess!

Actually, if you dig around, you'll find that the membership rankings are all related to penguins in one way or another (it used to be "Calvin and Hobbes" stuff, but we apparently had a revolution :D ).


You'll notice that the members-only madness forum is called the "Playful Penguin Place"... ;)

And YOU being the first to get there, should be able to enlighten us, Jeff ;)

Who knows? You're catching up to me; maybe you might get there first. I'm pretty sure either you or me will get there first. ;)

Either way is fine with me, but I believe YOU will be the first ;)

Apparently, I've been promoted to PINGU. I have absolutely no idea what that is, but I'm bettin' it's penguin-related...

A quick health warning guys. Never read this board while drinking Coca Cola! The effect is just mindblowingly wrong.

Let's put it this way: there are probably Help: Wanted signs all over Neuchâtel by now!
