Hi I was wondering how people are getting these stars? I have been around for a while xD but I am frequently MIA and when I come back I am discovering a whole new Subeta :p Thanks for any help ^-^

yeah, I've been wondering that too. I have one, but where did it come from? why? I wonder if it has to do with how much you post, but when my showed up, it did so very quietly. it was just there one day.

It's from your forum post count. :3

Oh cool thanks! ^-^ Is there a way to know how many posts per star?

I'm not sure the exact amount or where to look for that tbh, but it's like a few hundred posts per star or something?

I believe it's 750 posts per star :)

forum stars have been around for a long time—i'm pretty sure they were already a thing by the time i joined, which was in 2009.

it is indeed one star per 750 posts, with a maximum of 6 stars. you can see how many forum posts you've made by hovering over your username and checking the number next to the little speech bubble icon.

(this question comes up a lot... maybe it should be added to the FAQ or something...)

Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the information! I have been here for a long time but I guess my forum usage is mostly very light and mainly holiday based lol

That's all it takes. I'd probably still be at one or two stars without a whole bunch of "Claim!" posts. :D
