    General Grant got to only three beer mugs!?! What a slacker!

    “Was General Grant a 4 star general?

    Congress saw fit to promote Grant, the most popular person in the country, once more in 1866. This time, he became the first U.S. Army officer to pin on four stars as General of the Army of the United States, a position created just for him (at the time).”

    But keep in mind that General Grant was a whiskey man so maybe he doesn't deserve any beer mugs?

    Cheers!

    Haha. I think change can be fun and Todd has had a good track record of evolving the site to keep it fresh and some users more engaged.

    I don't believe my favorite president was known for wearing kepi's. I think that was more what the enlisted wore.

    I'm looking forward to a completely new system with different levels, new achievements, and a different point structure. But if I'm not a Poo-Bah with exactly the same number of points as before, I'm going to lose it.

    But I love change. As long as it doesn't affect me.

    I wasn't a poobah and no miracle will make me poobah. Excuse me! I'm a one beermug man.

    Interesting effect, but it seems that having new or no karma/scores/titles for the past ten days seems to have elicited more discussion in general, and not just about karma.

    If you're talking across the site, there hasn't been any significant increase in posts and I'd attribute any uptick to the end of Dry January and people getting (into) their BIG STOUTS box.

    I wouldn't mind if the beer glasses we used to get came back.

    All people are born equal. But then comes karma, with the poo-bahs the most equal of all :smirk:

    Wait, was that accurate and funny?

    Well, I laughed when I read it so the "funny" part is true, for me. :grin:

    There are still many Crackers left, don't yah know?
    They tend to not drink craft, so y'all might not meet them.
    You're probably thinking SO Florida, but they're still there. I know plenty.
    They're the ones with air boats in their yards and flying the Stars and Bars.

    Drinking in bunker-like bars built with cement blocks, with no windows, down by the fish camp.

    Thanks . As long as we can see what beers we've rated. Also is there going to be a better way to attach pictures to beers that i am rating that don't have pictures ?

    There's a general guide here:
    https://www.beeradvocate.com/commun...g-pictures-to-the-forums-and-database.664980/

    Todd addressed uploading pics to beer and place pages in post 52 of that thread. Sounds like it will be a while.
