John Nada, sounds like you got anger issues, bye.

I think that the length could be the ammount of threads started. I don't think that the colour is based on applause. But who knows?

(This could be open to abuse though, so I'm probably wrong)

gazork has about 25,000 (last time i checked, last year)...

my bar is filled past the half way mark...

so i don't think it is based on gazork's anymore...

Maybe it's based on threads and posts combined somehow? It's not (just?) on threads started upon further inspection. What could it be........hhmmmm

Thank you for your amateur opinion, bye.

So back to the issue at hand...

Yah, the new bar looks great, cool and discrete. But what does it say?

No matter color or length they all got the same name 0.gif. Guess it's the green, green grass club we're striving for now.

A few people still haven't got any bar. Mystery.

Okay Skeptic we're ready for the next contest.

yes...

what say you about what i said towards you

Hmm...

I can dig it.

do i have it:

the more applauses one gets, the more yellow the bar gets???

the more flags one gets, the more light greenish the bar gets???

hmmm...

I agree with your previous John but I understand that expanding to a myspace type of presentation could draw more members in, like you I saw the immediate resemblance, but while I have thoroughly enjoyed being a member of this community, I know that I did not create or fund this site.

While I may have misgivings on the future of ATS, I can still enjoy the quality of the posters here at this time, my hope is that these changes do not degrade the quality to the point where I choose to go elsewhere...

Let me qualify my statement by saying ATS is the first and only site that I felt worthy of membership, and I have never regretted my choice...

But, yellow and green mixed, make brown and brown is a disgraced colour!

Sorry dude I didn't see your post until you mentioned it.

how???

the more posts one makes means that he / she can be trusted???

or was it because of the applauses (and the redness of bars)???

[quotepPost count tells you nothing about a member so what is the point of it?

so what was the point of the line i quoted above???

sound like an oxymoron or a paradox...

I suggest you go back and read my post again sport. I already said the post count was a waste of time determining how much a members content can be trusted, so that really only leaves us with the applause colour doesn't it?

Obviously I gave some too much credit in being able to determine that though, and by some I mean you.

I see that the new bar seems to determine more than that amount of posts now which is cool. As I said I just didn't see the point in it if it was based solely on the amount of posts someone makes.

As I said I just didn't see the point in it if it was based solely on the amount of posts someone makes.

some people judge others based on the amount of posts he / she makes

sad, but true...

Not sure bout that. BH's is yellow, but TheVagabond's is a light pink. He might have the most applauses at 182, but not sure...

What I think it might be is a combination of Applauses and WATS votes received from the membership... Or just WATS votes by themselves?

And if it isn't, I think it would be real cool to tie that color to the combo mentioned above. Could be they've set a new color to shoot for as ultimate, and it might be white? Who knows, it appears SO has completely revamped the shading.

A few people still haven't got any bar. Mystery.

There appears to be a new threshold for receiving a bar at all. It doesn't appear to be the time a member is here, or the number of applauses that trigger it, but I could be wrong. I think it might be tied to receiving a certain number of WATS votes from the crowd.

I guess they'll tell us when they're ready, and this time around, I'm glad I've kept my mouth shut for a change and let SO work his magic.

Edit to add: what about bar shade=applauses+wats+flags?

[edit on 21-3-2007 by TrueAmerican]

Seems the longer the bar gets, the brighter it gets. I might speculate to say it would take about 10,000 posts to fill it.

Lol, I can't help but remember the line........


"I see your schwartz is bigger than mine!" or is it

"I see your schwartz is as big as mine!"

either way I'm laughing..........

inadvertant double post.....
