Question about member status

[Ultima200]

There is a Platinum and Diamond status.....wouldnt it make more sense to make Platinum harder to get than Diamond consider is worth in real life?

We try to keep real life from invading BBS life.

I see, but I still think it woul dmake more sense to put it my way

Are not diamonds more expensive than platinum?

 

[Russ]

Yes, they are, by a wide margin.

Go look at what a 2 or 3 carat diamond of good quality is worth, & then go look at what an equivalent mass of platinum is worth. My guess is the diamond is worth 15-20X as much.

Yeah, but "Platinum" sounds so much better. I like the way it rolls off my tongue.

Platinum. Platinum. Puh lat in num. Puh la... *Notices everyone starring*

 

[Duckers]

I agree. Platinum sounds better!

okie .. heres the math ... any girl will be able to tell you .... DIAMONDS ARE BETTER THAN PLATINUM !!!!! Platinum band ... 400$ give or take ... diamond ring 2500$ and up for a good one ... you figure it out ... you give a girl a big platinum band ... and you give one a big diamond .. you see how big a difference there is between the two .... <EG>

I agree that it sounds better than Diamond, but it's all good.

sweetrobin is correct: Diamond is more valuable than Platinum.

You will never here a female say &quot;Please, take this Diamond back. I'm only worth Platinum.&quot;

You will hear them say &quot;If you want any from me, you better take this worthless piece of sheet back and give me the Diamond(s) I'm worth!&quot;

That's why guys invented Zirconium.
