Celebrating 4 years of BracesForum

To celebrate our fourth anniversary, we decided to introduce a special member rank, which is not awarded for postings but for merit. This special rank will remain valid only as long as our forum software can support them. It is impossible to attain this rank by any amount of postings!

So far, there are four different reasons for being awarded 6 Stars:

• outstanding contributions to the subject in general
• outstanding number of Top Topics initiated
• outstanding service in expanding the forum and its popularity
• outstanding efforts in advancing the content of the forum

In each of these members' cases there were additional reasons for the award, which I have not listed for simplicity's sake. This will not be the last awarding ceremony! Should I have forgotten someone in your opinion - please send me a private message!
