It's to do with the number of posts placed I reckon..i.e republic =1 star, brotherhood=2 stars etc
I wonder what Nic and Seb will come up with when Huntsy reaches the 700 posts, then the 1000 posts, then...
Member with low life ? Member that has power but is corrupted and lies ?
Well, one thing's for sure, I wouldn't name Ian Curtis a Member with Movement...
Erm...
Not of very good taste, I must admit...
Originally posted by Huntsman G-man... ICB on Movement - theory - Ian Curtis Buried?
Yeah, I heard that theory... Well, with their wicked sense of humor, why not ?
Originally posted by Huntsman ... Member with excess goats cheese?
you can never have too much goats cheese. it is the food of kings 
Yeah, in the Top 10 members, I'm in the 3rd row for both logons and posts. That's what I call consistency...
But where the fuck are those Belgian NO fans ?!
Yes you can Geoff. Its easy, you know how to whistle don't you?... you just put your lips together... and blow.
The thing is, I can't whistle and laugh at the same time...
BTW I can't believe I have to wait till 10th of november to see, at very long last, NO live...
I don't think not being able to whistle and laugh at the same time is anything to be ashamed of G-bird. I used to get worried when I couldn't think myself to places using my mind. After a while, you learn to live with it.
Their is no substance to this posting, their is usually no substance to anything I type as other visitors to the outside world Allen jarvis spoke of will no doubt testify.I just wanted to see how many stars i have.
Their is no substance to this posting either other than to say whoah that's pithy one lousy star.
Stars can be obtained from a good stationers shop if you had the time to visit in the outside world. There is usually substance in the simplest places, try looking harder, and deeper.
If you don't unearth anything - well there's always a bigger fish.

Yeah, after MEMBER WITH SUBSTANCE (which Huntstman has reached), you get the MEMBER WITH LOW LIFE, which is quite funny I think.
But BEYOND THAT, I dunno...
Member with Power but Corrupted with Lies sounds good, although a bit long.
Shame Of The Nation might be good as well, when someone reaches an extreme number of messages posted. And I guess the higher level should be "The Eternal".
On the contrary, maybe we should insert the level "Candidate" for those with less than 20 messages posted.
I thought that Colony might be use to name another forum on this site. Atmosphere would be a great name for a forum as well. Isolation would be the perfect name for a section of the site which purpose would be to be some sort of DUNGEON in which we could throw all the people we ban off the site or that we openly can't stand. That would be fun, wouldn't it? :D
Any other suggestions are welcomed! Get that brain storming going!
For the Webmaster level, we were thinking of "Leaders of Men", and for the Moderator level (which exists but no one has been appointed yet), I have no idea.
Seb.

all went to an Indochine concert
AH! 
You know they're french, don't you ? :)
Although Nicola & Stéphane went to school in Brussels...
Well, I figured it was somehow based on whichever continent you were posting from, but the "more posts-more stars" system is a better explanation
Originally posted by Geoffroy Klompkes You know they're french, don't you ?:)Although Nicola & Stéphane went to school in Brussels...
Yeah, I know they're from France, but it was a wink (un clin d'oeil!) because it seems they are much more popular in Belgium than they are in France nowadays. I even think, if I'm not mistaking, that Nicolas Sirkis now lives in Brussels!
They love Belgium so much that their last two live records were recorded there!
Seb.
P.S. I admit that I am a fan of Indochine. I don't know why I'm a bit shy to admit... probably because of all these 14 year old teen girls who are fans as well. ARGGGGH
I don't think Nicola lives in Belgium but it's true they're hugely popular over here.
But don't be ashamed, Seb. Here, there's people of all ages that love Indo... :)
Every time I read the heading for this thread, I think "Stars with our names; does Tom Cruise have my name? does Ben Affleck have my name? does Jennifer Lopez have my name?"
To clarify a little: does a star have the same name I have? sort of shifting to: does a star know my name? and ending up: why did I start down this path anyway?

No I didn't! :)
Originally posted by Geoffroy Klompkes :)Well, I doubt a star has my name, erm...
But you're a star of your own, aren't you Geoffie? ;)

Erm, don't know about that, Ben. The real star here is Huntsman.
But, I try put Belgium on the map here... :)
& why is republic the start point? why doesnt it start with movement for first x posts, then pc&l etc? or is this a top 10 ranking thing where you start at no 1? (assuming republic to be no 1 album) at least that way the time everyone (apart from huntsman) gets enough posts to reach get ready the next album will be out & we'll all be re-appraising get ready...

Which makes me think: the first times I listened to their (very good) Dancetaria album, I thought the song "Venus" sounded very NewOrderish! Especially the guitar part, which sounds as if it was played by Barney himself. Have you heard it? If so, do you agree?
I think Indochine havae always had a huge talent when it came to melodies, and now they have talent creating ambiances as well (very nice ones on Dancetaria and very good too on the Wax album). Of course, the fact they they used GARETH JONES (an ex-Depeche Mode sound engineer) to mix the album has to do something with that.
You know what? If Indochine would have been British or Americans, they would have sold millions worldwide and be a very important group today I think. Unfortunately, the fact that their songs are in french has limited their broad impact. Using english titles for their songs and putting a few english lyrics here and there haven't changed that, because the accent of the singer is awful in english.
I've always wondered how I could listen and love music made in english, even when I was little and couldn't understand a word, without any problem, and that so many english-speaking people won't have any interest in listening music in another language. Because Indochine has most of the ingredients that would win the hearts of many people who love New Order, The Cure, Depeche Mode, and all the other new-wave/pop-rock/alternative bands from that scene.
Ah, well...
Seb.
Well as far as "stars with our names" all I can think of is Claire Trevor and Trevor Horn. What a crappy name
I'm not sure I know the song you mention Seb. But with what you said, I certainly would like to hear it.
I have mixed feelings about "Indo". They have great songs and others, well, not so great.
Let's say I always had respect for them although I don't have any of their records, except for a "Troisième sexe/3 nuits par semaine" 7".
Nicola is great friends with someone, on our national radio, who hosts a very good show called "5 heures", on wednesday afternoons. In fact, I co-hosted it for 3 years.
This september, Indochine gave the show a "générique" (don't know how to say it in English but as you understand french :)... ) that is used to open it.
It's an instrumental and it's amazing. I didn't know it was them, 1st time I heard it, and I thought "what's that ?! that's great !"
As to know wether they could be huge if they were English or Americans. You never can tell. But, yes, that would have been possible.
You should give a try to their Dancetaria album Goeff, and you might be happily surprised with what they came up with. There are a few gems on that album if you ask me.
It's both a great rock and a great synth album.
Seb.
Well, now I have the definitive answer to my question for this topic as I am now a member with Technique. :D
But I wonder if "Member with Technique" and "Member with Substance" aren't too openly sexual... :)
Message pour Seb : l'émission de radio dont je te parlais passe en streaming sur le web, le mercredi, si tu te lèves assez tôt. Ca commence à 15h, heure belge, et donc 9h du matin pour toi. Comme c'est le générique, il ne faut pas rater le début, évidemment.

J'essairai d'écouter Danceteria
