not sure if this is the right place for this but I am new to Forum sites and I wanted to know what the stars and titles next to certain posters names were and how you attain them? |

The stars make Candlekeep a pretty place, and of course pay homage to Selune ;) |

After two months of sitting here I was thinking, how much post you needed to get 5 stars?
Acolyte -- 0 - 14 [no stars]
Seeker -- 15 - 74 [one purple star]
Learned Scribe -- 75 - 349 [two red stars]
Senior Scribe -- 350 - 999 [three gold stars]
Master of Realmslore -- 1000 - 1999 [four silver stars]
Great Reader -- 2000 -- 9999 [five yellow stars]
Miscellaneous title -- 10000+ [five yellow stars plus unique title of your own choosing]
Dark blue stars are reserved for site administration staff and light blue stars indicate site moderators.

Are there any VIP members except for the authors and moderators?
Site administration staff, as I mentioned above. There are other special titles also, like George Krashos remaining as a Master of Realmslore even though he's past 2,000 posts. That was at his request. And, of course, there is the Lady Herald of Realmslore, which is a Candlekeep-only title bestowed upon the always lovely and bountiful 'The Hooded One,' who relays questions and answers back and forth between the scribes of Candlekeep and Ed Greenwood. But that's about it.
