What do the stars in AARoads Forum stand for?

Hi,
I'm curious to know what the stars under a user's name represent. E.g., I have 4 gold stars under my username. What does this mean? Is it related to your status?
If anyone can tell me, let me know!

agentsteel53:
it has to do with your post count.  at various thresholds, like 100 posts, you get another star.

after 5 gold stars, you move on to 1 blue star, and the maximum is 6 blue stars.

if anyone ever gets 6 blue stars, we're doing an intervention and surgically disconnecting them from the matrix.

various admin types and other head dudes have stars that are neither blue nor gold.

Yeah, I've seen those kind of guys before.  But I've also seen people with tons of posts because they offer support for a piece of software at a forum.  But still, you can spot a "post whore" with ease if you know the signs and stop them before they become a problem.

Fortunately, the forum allows to adjust anyone's post count, so if anyone started crowing obnoxiously about having 100,000 posts or something, we could always bust them back down to Post #33...
