I just had a look at the member count - we've made 500!
Whoo hoo! Our other stats are growing, too, in terms of posts and threads.
Great work everyone!
That's great! Welcome to all the new members!
Our Top Ten list as of 3/6 is:
1 Sierra Divot Maker
2 Sk8tmum Divot Maker
3 jjane45 Divot Maker
4 AgnesNitt Divot Maker
5 Sk8Dreams Divot Maker
6 kiwiskater Freestyle Skater
7 drskater Compulsory Figures
8 fsk8r Pairs Partner
9 Query Pairs Partner
10 Artemis Pairs Partner
Wow I made top 10, I'm impressed :D Woo for 500 members
" I'm number 4, I'm number 4!" :encore
Ha ha--I feel sorry for myself trying to do compulsory figures on the ice with five divot makers, three pairs partners and a freestyler!! :ghug
The odd number of pairs partners will really make it difficult!
Pair each divot maker with a freestyler, pairs partner or drskater, and have them all play hockey ;)
If anyone has suggestions for new phrases, shout them out in this topic.
At this rate, we might run out of post ranks!
You could make one "Frank Carroll" and start using famous skaters....
I like that - I could even use famous skater's moves, like "Doin' Biellmanns with Denise."
What do the stars mean?

They came preset, so I kept up their sequences. They're tied to the post count/rank title, sort of creating tiers.

Sour Cow Herd must be a new one! I think it is fun to look at my "title" every so often and find out what the next level is. Much more exciting than "Jr Member" or "Sr Member."
Yes, I snatched that term from your post about the student who tried to do a "sour cow."
We need more fun things like that! It makes the members' list entertaining:

Just added "Ice Warrior" in honor of Chowskates' board record - five USFSA tests in one day! Wow!

ITA!! Love it! Chowskates--you've been honored with your own designation. Cool.
oooh ooh! I have a new motto! Super In Joke, Isk8NYC! No one's going to get that!
You're welcome - "Wearing Evelyn Kramer's Coat" has been on the registry since startup because I loved that story from the old board. In fact, I went to the Lake Placid shop looking for something interesting like that to buy, but settled for second-hand crash pads with no name and a Figure Eights DVD, lol.
Did you ever find out if Evelyn Kramer wanted her PSA coat back?

Love it! I have to find some way to turn this into a Post Count Title.
