Okay, because I'm not making it up as I go along...
Well, I hope you know that I was just kidding when I said that,Tracy!  :-* It sure wouldn't look good if the teacher were to have to do some "time out"! ;) Thanks for the detailed explanation of the stars. I do finally get it, I think! And I really do like my big bluestar! ;D

Okay, because I'm not making it up as I go along  ;) :P ...

There are two types ... yellow stars are related to the number of posts a person has made, other colour stars are for "groups" and are not related to the number of posts a person has.   If you are the member of a group (phanatics, classroom) your yellow stars don't show but your "group" star(s) do.

Number of yellow stars - related to the number of posts you have made
Number of other than yellow stars - related to the length of time you have been a contributing member of a particular group.  Phanatics have been active for most of the last twelve months so they have two stars as this is their year two.  Green was just a random colour choice for the phanatics.  This is only year one of the Classroom group, so only one star there.  I have five starts cuz its my Sandbox  ;)

Does that help?

Look again Cammie, you are now a hatchling ;D
When you reach 100 posts you become a chick
When you reach 500 posts you become a fledgling
And when you reach 1000 posts you become and old bird.
So you'd better get talking. ;D

Hmmmmm...still don't really understand.

I obviously have to start posting.  I feel like I've been a member for about a hundred years and I'm still an egg!  ;D  :o

I believe if you get a "special class" (like phanatic or classroom) then the # of stars has to do with how many years you've been active.  otherwise you get the regular small gold stars associated with # of posts.

so, phanatics is a special designation and we've been here 2 years - so 2 green stars.  classroom is another, and kinderchick is in her first year, so 1 blue star.

it may not be true, but it fits the available evidence.  as my grad school advisor says....  "it doesn't have to be wrong"

Totally makes sense -- I did remember about the "2 green stars".  And Kinderchick is blue - teacher.

the gold stars are associated with "non-phanatic" (meaning, not here in year one and continuing).  the number of stars associates with the level (1 for egg, 2 for hatchling, etc).  two green stars means two years on the forum, I suppose.  :)  So bccs has 5 gold stars for being an old bird, but we old birds who were here in year 1 have 2 green stars like all other year 2 folks (but the words "old bird" sooooooo make me feel better  ;) )

I like my green stars,  I hope we get another one next year.  ;D

Remember when TPC was asking for those of us who wanted to stay to do so by the end of the year.  She changed our colour to Green and added 2 stars for those of us who wanted to stay with the forum.
