Hi all, No-one needs to worry about modifying their home equipment or anything, we can wait and see though to be certain. Heres one I will be able to change :- "Ability to have as many ranks as you want with certain post count requirements to get to each." This means we can have some more ranks between new-user and "God" and after GOD aswell - I'm looking forward to one which comes AFTER "GOD". Maybe we should have a vote on what the best Ultimate Supreme rank is? All good stuff. There are loads of new facilities up and coming from pro-boards - here is a link to the main lists for those interested in poking around a bit. support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=v4&action=display&n=1&thread=1099555771Looks like we could have some fun here tweaking around a bit. Maybe a vote on a colour scheme would go down well too. I seriously hope they dont lose all our threads!!! Eeeeek (should be ok)

We will see. I always have reserve when people do things for my good, my protection. The electricals were very loud lately. I suspect they feel a victory at hand. We will see. At first it starts slowly, there will be no evidence to show otherwise. Then the noose tightens. Soon, men will have short hair, and the medicine bag will be scattered.

Very cool Mark, thanks for the link. Looks like there could be lots of neat additions. Not that we're not "cool" the way we are but sometimes something new can be fun. Looking forward to your ideas for the Supreme Being.

It is a trap, the sky is falling!!!! Run, run with fear. We are doomed, the noose is closing. Yoda is really the antichrist and we will all end up wearing grey, and believing Big Brother and his henchmen. For our own good.

I trust your better judgement, Mark. With your hand at the helm, we shall follow (like Lemmings?).

How does an administrator get such large stars when a God gets small ones?

so WHEN is this going to happen, or did i miss it? and the link you posted Mark almost implied that it could be a while before the board will be up again.

Dont know when its supposed to happen - all in im sure that message at the top has been there more than 24 hours now - and Ive not seen the board down at all since I first saw it. Theres no electricals !!! Only Pro-boards wanting to upgrade to better things doc!!! Im just following pro-boards banjo - I await their instructions to leap off the cliff. Yoda, good one - theres that other one aswell (a teacher of karate or something. Ahhhh Grasshopper - patience....... So its comical to have new members as "Grasshoppers"? Stars - I wonder if we can change those in the new version. Not my doing - its the "electricals" - maybe there are some afterall - at proboards. My symbol should be Five Benson and Hedges cigarrettes all smoking at once with all the stress. Time will tell - pretty sure they will update soon - but maybe theres a few technical probs to overcome - if any - I suspect it will be ensuring that no data is lost, depends how it was programmed in the first instance. All is smooth at the mo though.

Presuming intended innocence, even though I think it is a trap, what about having the rating system directly in line with MOHS. Each number pertaining to hardness, from softest to hardest, with the corresponding mineral example next to the number. Point being, as a tumbling site, even though the screen stays flat and does not move around a lot, except when the Electricals are trying to frustrate me and get me to give off synaptic energy. The Electricals do that, which leads me to believe Andy/Mark/Phred is an agent of. I query as to the ultimate motives an individual undertaking a forum such as this. I think, late at night, especially when the Electricals are not really looking this way, that Andy/Mark/Phred found a niche where innocent people are vulnerable. I bet that is not really a picture of Andy/Mark/Phred but a projection of a concept. I bet it was created on an Electrical machine to fit a concept. Where are we going with this? What is going to happen to us? Has it already happened and is it too late? What was the topic anyway? Are we ready to fend off the Electricals? Is a piece of agate really softer because we have an upgrade that will capture our brains? Has calcite gotten easier to facet because the colour changed on the screen? WE must rebel, we must Take The Streets! We can all have a sit in, and pass gas.

You could pick a few rocks from the Moh's to fill in with a few more levels to reach but set the stars more spaced out since we only get five of them.
Like you start out at newbie. After 50 posts you become a grasshoppa, at 100 posts your a pebble, at 150 you become Talc and get your first star. Then a couple more whatevers to get to Obsidian and another star, each level increasing by 50 or 100 posts before you get the next one.
Talc Obsidian Hematite Agate Diamond
Ok, just rambling, pay no attention to the person behind the curtain. The electricals are scrambling the signals.
