    I was just wondering here, has anyone made it all the way up from Turquoise to Rogue Stone? It seems to me that everyone with a large amount of posts has an avatar, so they either lose the stone thing, or it just isn't posted. Perhaps when they reach Rogue Stone they get some sort of illumination, or enlightenment, and rise to a higher form of life where posting on SP isn't necessary to be entertained.

    No, don't think so. I think he got his avatar just before he reached it. The gems anoyed him that much...

    Me going for that record

    with this tempo (238 post in 5 months) that´ll be 3500 post in 73,52941764705882352941176470588 months

    73,52 - 5 months = 68,52 (Only part I didnt need calc for)

    68,52 = 5,71 years

    Meaning: I´ll stick around for a while

    Edit
    [Darn, with this post the number got 239, I´m leaving the rest of the math to you]

    Of course, not getting a portrait means not supporting SP by buying stuff or sending articles. Darn. I'm doomed to be a leech.

    Say! Maybe we could have someone just post anything in every single thread every day for a month and see how far we get. Of course, Tal would kill us...

    Just think! I'll be a rogue stone person then :)

    Then again, by the time I get to post 3,497, that will be the time when its decided that the rogue stone will go up another 5,000 posts :)

    Marnix has a portrait already. And sure, you can contribute to SP and keep your gemness. It's not like it's required to take an avatar/portrait.

    Shell, if that was put in place an absolutely huge number of members would disappear. For example someone (new person) who wants to just ask one question (and has done all the searches and can't find it) will be registering and suddenly struck by the 'radio boxes of ways to pay' or some such name. Then even if he/she does decide it's a very important question that they really need the answer to they're going to have to wait around till the payment is cleared/recieved/confirmed. Slow and would put a hell of a lot of people off the site.

    Unless you've got a large fanbase that's bound to your site, that's a perfectly good way to kill off a perfectly good site.

    Not going to happen, so it's a non-issue. You can't force people to pay for anything on the Internet. They'll just go somewhere else.

    Actually you can check out your gem in the directory. I checked out Tal's gem though. There's none. It's his avatar. :D
