Re: Keiki forever?
Quite right. I just came up with the set to have some values besides "Beginner," "Intermediate," and the like. I'm not even sure if the stages are really logical (Hawaiian social roles don't sit along one scale), and the qualifying points will probably be moved around depending on just how active things get here. Suggestions welcome!
In case you're curious, here's the breakdown right now:
Keiki: 0 posts
Haumana: 20 posts
Kanaka: 50 posts
Luna: 100 posts
Kia`aina: 200 posts
Kumu: 400 posts
Ali`i: 800 posts

If you ask me, KUMU should be a higher ranking than ALI`I.

Re: Keiki forever?
Gosh...I have to really "hut hut" before people pass me on the fly! Some people really have contributed a lot and have very helpful hints and thoughtful suggestions. I'm just glad that we have these threads for communication.
