Ian Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Hello everybody! I just wanted to let you know that we've done a little bit of a star upgrade for our wonderful FANTASTIC Members here on the forums! :D If you don't already know, when you become a FANTASTIC Member (happens when you reach 2,000 posts), a fancy star appears next to your name! Well, the original star was really puny but now I present the NEW STAR: A lot prettier huh? Just a way to say thanks to our FANTASTIC Members! :D Ian Quote
Ruto Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 @_@ I love that shiny new star...sweet upgrade. ^_^ Quote

Ruto Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 TJ, you should be happy that your name is blue. I like blue. :O Quote
Superfly Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 TJ, you should be happy that your name is blue. I like blue. :O I know, blue rocks FANTASTIC stars socks. b) But still, what a cool star still. Quote
Ruto Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Stars can't wear socks. Only shoes. You dare mock the star? :( Quote
Superfly Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Stars can't wear socks. Only shoes. You dare mock the star? :( No, it's still an awesome star. I think I am going to have to fake a screenie to get that star soon though. Perhaps that will be tomorrows project. Quote
Ruto Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 -_- Oh TJ, you are so determined to get our coveted star. Be happy with blue-ness. :yes: Quote
Ian Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 No, it's still an awesome star. I think I am going to have to fake a screenie to get that star soon though. Perhaps that will be tomorrows project. SCAM. *reports* Haha, TNT will get you, mister!! Oh wait... we're on a different website. // end stupid joke. Quote
Superfly Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 SCAM. *reports* Haha, TNT will get you, mister!! Oh wait... we're on a different website. // end stupid joke. Umm, Ian have you been sipping umbrella drinks again, are you SEEING STARS? :O Quote
Ruto Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 o.O TNT would probably freeze him anyway. xD I know! Staffers should get multi-colored stars. Special-ness. b) Quote
Guest Levy Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 I declare this a 1-up on staff members' colors. You guys get one color, we get TWO, there yellow star AND the black. XD Quote
Superfly Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 I declare this a 1-up on staff members' colors. You guys get one color, we get TWO, there yellow star AND the black. XD What. What! You can't 1-up us, it's just, not fair! *runs around in circles*. Although, i think you are right, :O you do 1-up us. *continues running* Ian, can i has an umbrella drink please. Quote
Ruto Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Black is overrated. Just like this black text. It's blue. Just like TJ, who SHOULD be happy about his color instead of trying to steal a star. Quote
Xepha Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Oh TJ, let me serve you a special drink :P I like you siggy, when did you change it? And that star is so cool that I used it in my latest email to mr. Ian. Quote
rachiee Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Even if I haven't reached the Fantastic mark (not even Super yet...), the star looks pretty cool, but I think I have seen it before. I'm not sure :guiltysmiley: xD So anyway, it's spiiiiiiffy. Quote
Zac Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Oooh. Nice stars! Now my name will look even more spiffier! ^_^ I like how they have a smooth-ish texture. Quote
Meeptroid Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Wow, you guys sure are going nuts over a star upgrade. Although I see why there is a reason to celebrate. Unknown to most users, Ian went on a two year journey into space. He was determined to find what legends have talked about for centuries: The Perfectly Fantastic Star. This legendary star was known for its immense beauty and powerful wisdom that it contained. Below is the story of this amazing and epic journey: It was a long and dreadfully boring afternoon. Ian was browsing the internet for nothing in particular. Looking for something to accomplish, he opened up TDN Forums and searched for something he could improve. It was then that Ian came across the Fantastic Member Star. The dull and small star disgusted Ian greatly. So much in fact, that he decided to look for a legendary star that he only heard about in stories. Ian quickly typed in Google, "awesome stars". Unfortunately, this search brought him to a web page all about popular celebrities. He quickly got distracted and wasted 20 minutes reading some poorly written article about some popular person he didn't give a crap about. Satisfied that he got his daily intake of literature, Ian suddenly remembered what his initial task was and retyped his search in Google. This time he wrote, "perfectly awesome star" and came up with the web page he wanted. The web page was all about a legendary star found in outer space that made even the coolest forum cooler. Intrigued, Ian gathered his life savings and called Rent-A-Rocket. As it turns out, the name was misleading and he ended up calling a company where you are allowed to rent a Nerf Rocket toy. Ian decided that the only way he was going to get a rocket is by building one himself. Going down to the local store, Ian bought the supplies needed for Rocket Engineering. He sure was lucky that it was "Buy 5,325 and Get One Free Day". Anyway, Ian proceeded back to his home and built the rocket in a matter of minutes. Pleased, he went inside of his house to enjoy a well deserved umbrella drink before blasting off into space. After Ian was finished with his liquid refreshment, he put on his Space Adventurer Suit and climbed inside the rocket. The space was cramped but it got the job done. A countdown from 1,000,000 to 0 milliseconds began as Ian braced himself for the launch. Before he knew it, he was ascending into the vast regions of space. The journey was long and hard, many friendships and betrayals had occurred, and Ian was soon tired of it all. As a last strained effort, Ian managed to find the galaxy where The Perfectly Fantastic Star was held. The rest of it was history. Update: And before anyone asks, ignore the inconsistency. Ian's somewhat evil twin managed to run the website while he was gone. Quote
Ruto Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 :O What a brave adventure Ian made! His story should be told throughout the generations to come! Quote
Meeptroid Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Ian is quite the brave one indeed. He risked his life for you Fantastic Members to enjoy a brand spankin' new star. =D Also, I admit that the story is slightly exaggerated. But I think Ian agrees with me when I say that the story is epic and for the most part accurate. Quote
Guest Krawk Islander Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Heh, nice story. xD But purple still rocks. :P (Although purple + star = awesomeness) Quote
Mike. Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 The real reason I'm not staff anymore is because I wanted the star. xD Quote
The Big Cheese Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Ah yes... that darn star is just so seductive :P Now its even better! Quote
