    We do have some limited ability to change what the stars look like, such as having Star Wars-related images there instead of the current stars. Options discussed here have included other versions of stars (such as with the edges cleaned up a bit), Imperial rank symbols, stages of Death Star Construction, and Star Wars ships.

    Given this, the first option in this poll is to have any stars-related images next to user names, not just the specific stars images currently in use.

    Please post in this thread to indicate that you have voted. However, you do not have to indicate how you voted - though you are certainly welcome to do that as well if you wish.

    I think replacing them with Star Wars related images would be better. Kind of a call back to the old S.I.T.H. (Sick In The Head) and J.E.D.I. (Just Enjoy Doing It) days.

    I am in favour of keeping them, but think that - if they are changed - the 'star' that corresponds to my current post count should not be red in any respect. :)

    Also, Star Wars ships is a terrible idea.

    No, not with the tools we have.

    Basically we would be changing the stylesheet of each banner to point towards a different image directory. We could have a different set per forum, or even per banner, but that might be messy. We would more likely pick a single set for the entire boards and update all the banners accordingly.

    But that's not finalized yet. Once we have the yes/no thing down, then we'll start really looking into what image set to use.

    I think once you have 10,000 posts they should give you money.

    Lots and lots of money.

    I'm for keeping them. It reminds me of what the board used to look like when I first registered.

    Voted! SW-themed sounds awesome, but Death Star stages sounds a little bland. It's simple and very hierarchal, I guess, but not very iconic (the only iconic DS is a final, completed DS). Do we really want to be stuck with that? I am assuming we won't change the graphics for our stars as often we do our banners. SW ships sounds like a better idea, since a lot of those are iconic, from the X-Wing (which could be for a newbie) to the Executor (which could be for Jello and other 50k+ freaks like him :p).

    I'm only okay with having stars if I can dance with them.

    I don't mind the stars. They could use a cleaning-up. I wasn't that crazy about some of the other images we had going in MS though. The ships didn't do much for me.

    I think we should have different sets of stars for EVERY USER, just like we have icons...but everyone will know instantly what they are.:p

    For example, Tunick will be given a dark red picture of a basketball jersey...
