Often times, things happen around me that I don’t notice. These unforeseen and UN-noticed phenomenon (as attested to by my wife) are happening with more & more frequency these days. The subject at hand; the little green rectangles that appear beneath the name of those who post on the bulletin board. When you do a mouse-over on one of them it will tell you that “(Poster) is on a distinguished road.” If you do a mouse-over on the little green rectangle on one of your posts it will tell you that “(Self) will become famous soon enough.” Has anyone else noticed this? And do you suppose there is any significance?
Just something to ponder. 
…not until you brought it up.
Ms. Betty has two little green ones…
I found this on another site: It has to do with the number of posts. The forums themselves distiguish that, after X amount of posts, you move up to the next level. Really, it doesn’t mean anything and you get no other benefits other than a different title. I think the point is to recognize those who are most active. It’s an automatic thing on the site, one of those weird things that even I don’t quite understand. =)
That doesn’t explain why you, at 709 posts are on a distinguished road, and I, at 2977 posts will be famous soon enough. If I could just go fishing, then I wouldn’t be worried about this trivia.
This is very serious stuff. Lets not let Ms Betty off so lightly she has two green things and we only have one…
Those have been there for a while now, Joe. Hiding from you. Everyone I have ever looked at has positive reviews, even me, which is interesting since I occasionally become annoying and speak my mind, even sometimes intentionally dropping a rock into a pond to see what the waves do.
Dennis;
There is a big difference between dropping a rock in a pond (as I also have been know to do) and throwing it through the window. You would make a good diplomat.
I don’t throw rocks into the pond, but every so often I slip on the rocks and one falls in.
Okay, I was waiting for Ed to jump in, but I’ll do it. Sounds like swamp witchery to me… ribbit.
Wait a minute … WHAT??? Green thingies?? When’d those get there??? Need to post this so I can see mine!!
Edit to post … mine look like little green TOADS!!!
Betty has 4639 posts, and none of the rest of us come close. The conclusions are left to the reader. I will wait to see how long it takes her to grow another toad.
I’m approaching 3,000 posts. We’ll have to see what goes on when I get there. I like the term toad, much better than little green rectangle.
TOADS, TOADS, MORE TOADS.
Be careful there Joe, Ms. Betty can turn any one of us into a toad with on zap…
said with all due respect Ms. Betty…
27 isn’t close ??
Just got my second toad recently.
The conclusions are left to the reader.

Two of my exes were witches, although not the swamp variety (more of a mossy, forest variety), so I am not too worried. I have counterspells for toad transformations.
Joe, croak if you need one.
Au contraire mon ami, HRH is way up there but there are others with more posts and fewer green squares.
Au contraire Mon Ami, HRH is number 4 on the list of most post, behind the late JC. There are others over 4K and with more posts with only 1 emerald jewel.
I was hopping to conclusions, Jesse.
That makes me wonder who has the most toads? :shock:
And then there is this: “LadyFisher has a disabled reputation.” What? ??? Says who? I’ve got enough problems, what is this?
