Thank you, editors, for making this site what it is and allowing a community to grow out of it.

Enough cheesiness from me. So, what's a FAQ?

Thanks for the informatives! Now I feel less dumb. I am ashamed now because after reading that one only needs forty followers to receive the coveted star, I immediately got to emailin' Hortense. BUT!! Said email did not contain any traces of wheedling, whining, or begging. I asked how it worked because I'd always assumed you were awarded a star when you had proven yourself to be made of win, not because you'd amassed a certain number of followers. And no, I DO NOT obsessively consult my profile page to see if I have any new ones. NOR DO I feel sad on the days I don't get any new ones. So there.

Bishes.

*Oh and gigantic thanks to all of you ladies; editors, contributors, and commenters alike. You make my days slightly more tenable and much less bad. Thank you all.

I can't believe no one's asked this very important follow-up question: "So, which one of you is from Iowa?"

I've always wondered how many emails you guys get for COTD and WCOTD nominations. Is it a crapload? Do y'all sit around ANTM-style and discuss a comments good and bad qualities? Are the nominees lined up? Has one of them ever passed out and been saved by its weave? Do comments even HAVE weave? Inquiring minds, y'all.

Just my vote for CEFAD, sorry.

Also, Jezebel has taught me to keep my forum postings more topical. Was anyone around for April Fools' Day 2008? Do you know what I mean?

Back when the stars first came out, there was an explanatory post about them that said that the threshold was 25.

For some reason I had some followers at the time (probably not 800, more like 26) and I said, "Thanks for explaining, but is it really 25? I don't have one yet."

THEN A BUNCH OF PEOPLE YELLED AT ME FOR NOT HAVING READING COMPREHENSION SKILZ. I WAS SO HURT. I was all "waaahhh! I don't have a starrrr!" and I was not in good form. I was like "But no! That's not the point! I have followers but no star! I NEED A STAR! A STAR IS MADE OF ADDICTIVE STAR GOODNESS I WANT ONNNNE!!111"

Things I learned:

-If you read something in full and something is missing, very carefully mention that you read it in full and something is missing, or the internet will think you have not even tried reading

-I am not charming when I beg for a star

-BrutallyHonestBabes and Sarah.Of.A. Lesser.God are the funniest people ever, on the planet, we get it

-Leg hugs
