:smile: Zooby, you seem to really enjoy your new color. :biggrin: But I'm rapidly getting closer to having been yellow for a year, and I'd like a new color now. I get bored of wearing the same thing all the time. :-p Now that the mentors aren't using red anymore, can I have red? As you can tell from my photos, I really look good in red. :biggrin:

Of course the only real clique here is the green click. They have their own green-members-only room and everything, and I think they sit in there talking about the rest of us, making fun and deciding who they're going to kick out of the club. I hear they have a hot tub and sauna in the executive washroom as well.

I keep laughing at those "thank you" threads in Feedback. What inspired all of those all of a sudden? It's starting to sound like some cheesy awards banquet over there. "I'd like to thank my mom and dad for telling me I'd never amount to anything so I'd prove them wrong, my agent for tirelessly lobbying the awards committee so she could negotiate a higher commission, my next door neighbors for offering their helpful critiques of my music skills, usually by shouting, 'knock off that racket, it's 2 AM!' and my dog Pogo for biting my ankle so I couldn't be the athlete I was planning to be." :-p

Between you and me, I dislike this color. The superpowers are nice, but my name just looks faded to me now.
Now that the mentors aren't using red anymore, can I have red?
Yes, red would show up so much better.

Actually you're gold, but the color matches the "orange" color in the drop down box.

I wonder how many "yellow" members we have?

What was the reason you "went yellow"? I loved this site and liked Greg's philosophy of how he wanted the site to be. I was happy to be able to help support it. Plus I wanted to be able to change my avatar constantly. :blushing:

I would contribute but I'm a kid so I don't carry any money...

I think the goal of "yellow only" was pretty much ruined. even the greens came in...

Fear? :smile: Addiction, of course. Yellow is like AA in the opposite direction.

"Hi. I'm SOS. I'm a PF Addict. I no longer do blue. Now I'm yellow."

Something Mark Twain said (paraphrased from memory):

"There are many ways to avoid the temptaion to drink two quarts of whisky, but I had the surest of them on my side: cowardice."

:smile: I thought it was the cool thing to do and didn't know it would turn me yellow when I started. I just wanted the little gold star...I blame my elementary school teachers who trained me to do almost anything for a coveted gold star. :-p

Oh m'gosh. Are the yellow members like the Dr. Suess parable about people who think they are better than others? “The Star-bellied Sneeches had bellies with stars, while the Plain-bellied Sneeches had none upon thars.” :bugeye:

Nah. It's good to contribute and help with costs of the web site. :biggrin:

That's what got me in. I didn't really know about the perks ahead of time; I was spending so much time here and enjoying it so much that I felt guilty about freeloading, particularly since there isn't much that I can do to help people with their questions.

I'm not sure being any kind of sneech is a good thing. :smile:
