Hall of Fame designation means that you have stepped up and financially supported the Pond Boss forum.
Frankly, for the wealth of information that one can get here, from professionals, and/or experienced pond/land owners, more members should step up and donate.
Maintaining this forum costs Pond Boss well over $5K a year, and sure, it does help with subscriptions, but not nearly enough to cover it's run/maintain cost.

Ambassador and Field Correspondent are volunteer positions put in motion through Bob (Pond Boss office). They are about promoting and growing Pond Boss and helping the public with pond/land mgt matters. Call the PB office if interested. Lunker IIRC is based on activity/posts.

Something went wrong with my original post.
I had attempted to post that I think Hall of Fame depends on how you donate. I usually send in a few dollars extra for forum support when renewing my subscription, but it has never shown up in the HOF.
I don't know how I got the "lunker" label but I do know my dad used to call me a "lunkhead".

Well this is no good......what if the stars signify something nefarious....
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

The stars were there but disabled when we applied 7 years worth of software upgrades/updates to the forum and added functionality and flipped the switch hoping not to jetison 9 years worth of data. We added the titles mentioned above for projects Bob wanted to launch [field correspondant and ambassador] and we never dumped the stars. It was discussed, but never ordered, so we left them alone. I believe the stars were a function of UBB [forum software] to rate your peers' posts or something similar. It was disabled before I joined the forum, so ye olde timers would have to recollect.

I think we were considering adding stars to donors - which was scrapped when the Hall of Fame was established, the latter of which occured after my volunteer participation in the 12 months forum/website rebuild project. It's entirely possible at 3:45 AM some morning working on the PB Free Article editing with SEO keywords I simply thought Richard needed some stars because he's my buddy...talk about flagrant abuse of star management. Notice I don't have any, though - just didn't make the grade.
