Well someone needs to give Defcon5 some point love.
He's the first one to come up with the idea that the color of the forums one posts affects the color of one's bar and the "applause" lightens it further.

Defcon is the man!

My "bar" changed colors

Dude, get to the doctor. You may need some antibiotics... STAT.

Intrepid, I know YOU gots the answer.
Come on my friend, spill the beans.

I think the answer is to turn this into a super thread hundreds of pages long until they relent!!! U2U everyone and ask them to post here every few minutes until we get a full answer. Or not

Also we could collectively hold our breaths.
After a few dozen members pass out, they're bound to relent.
Aren't they?

To the best of my knowledge the length of the bar(s) is reletive to post count. The first bar full = 10,000 post. Same with the second. As to the color I always thought it was applause that changed it.

Well, since you, a Super Moderator, do not know for sure; this must be a secret of the highest order. Only the Shadow knows, or is that the Three Amigo's, I get them mixed up?

If you go through Defcon5's expose (accent circomflexe), it has been established that "applause" affects the brightness of the bar. It seems that the actual color is an indicator of the combination of the colors of the forums one most participates in..

Oh great, so those whom are Red/Green colorblind (Like me) are really gonna be confused by the bar arrangement. Personally I'll just stick with the length of the bar. That begs the question though. I noticed that Intrepid's bar is pretty much all the way over. So what happens when it fills up? Start another line? Jump a full color? Get a little star next to it?

Ty Intrepid, I was having a bad day and needed that!



Edited to add I'm depressed again, looking at my under averaged sized bar. I seem to remember an email that could help me out with that,,,off to check.

From what I understand that somewhere you can have that cured with the right medication. A basic Google search under "Bar Enlargement" can yield some very interesting results. (Go ahead try it).



Edited to add:
There is always the surgical option to consider as well.

Hell,
I get those spam emails all the time, but I don't like tablets or invasive surgery

I guess I'll just have to rely on quality and hope I can get my bar to change colour.

At least it will be a little more interesting then

And whatever you do, do NOT use your bar for this: www.belowtopsecret.com...
