A question of account nexus interface

[Ranokoa]

Right under name and above post number there are a number of boxes, when i mouseover it just gives me an astric "*" what are those boxes and what do they mean! Im so confused! Are they good? Bad? neutral? specific to a statistic? what!?

I believe they are called "Pips", on most forums they serve as a visual identifier of newer members. People with fewer than 500 posts have fewer Pips, and pip count is related to membership "rank". They really don't serve any other purpose that I know of.

whats the max amount of pips? And how do u get another pip?

5, never seen more. As you're a veteran you can't get higher, so they pips won't either. The next step is premium/moderators/admins..

If i had the money I seriously would be premium right now and for eternity. Not so much the perks but because i like supporting this community, and as it grows every penny counts to maintaining and improving. As for moderator / admin, those two are very doubtful to be bestowed upon me. Besides, if requested even this minute i would turn it down until I control my digression of thought with my posts lol. You've seen it... a lot.. Its kinda... unprofessional. Eitherway, i was just curious.
