Zifnab and Ant Ascend to Galaxy Level
What comes after Crown Level? That question can finally be answered.
We're happy to announce the latest, and possibly last, star level - attainable by reaching 2,000 star points. It's an amazing achievement. In Zifnab's case that means that he has over 2,000 videos published on the Sift, and Ant is close behind him.
So what's the booty for scaling these unprecedented heights? First - the mundane stuff:
- 1 permanent extra queue slot
- Lifetime complimentary Charter Membership
- One-off Gift of 20 power points
And the unusual:
- A custom and unique "Galaxy" badge commissioned to resemble your avatar
- Tiny custom and unique icon for your username
- A custom folk song penned by me (@dag)
The last item may serve to prevent others from following in your wake. I swear to you all, I will keep writing these songs if anyone follows these guys. - I mean it! ;-)
Here's Ant's Galaxy badge:
And icon:
Her's Ant's folk song simply titled Ant (sincere heartfelt apologies to Radiohead)
Here's Zifnab's Galaxy badge:
And icon:
Here's Zifnab's folk song Moustache, Beef slab, Cat Flap, Head Crab:
On a more serious note - I'd like to thank both @Zifnab and @ant for their contributions to this community. The Sift would not be what it is without them - and I hope we'll be congratulating them on their 10K milestone down the road.

ROFL! Thanks Dag! I just noticed that ant icon and posted about this in http://videosift.com/talk/Woah-I-got-an-ant-galaxy-award ...
Zifnab, YOU'RE GOING DOWN!!!!!!!!! And my music is longer than yours.
Here's what is weird. Others' tiny crowns show ant too if I am logged in. If I disable cookies, then I don't see it.

I'd also like to thank our official VideoSift graphic designer Chris Murphy for putting the badges together. He rocks.
Woot! Awesome! Congrats Ant and Zifnab! And the perks are extremely cool!

Awesome.
I mean you've outdone yourself.
I couldn't help myself.

Thank you too!
Congrats guys! Nice singing there Dag. I knew this was important when I saw that rare tweet.
So I guess sifting all those ZP videos paid off Zifnab?
Great job..congrats!!!
Nice work @Zifnab, @ant and @dag.
+325 videos to get serenaded by dag? I think I can make that happen.
I for one welcome our Zifnant overlords...

Come on! I dare you to beat us.
That is just too awesome and unexpected! Those songs had me rolling on the floor, you are quite the talent dag. Thanks @dag and @lucky760!
Today the galaxy, tomorrow the UNIVERSE will be mine!
@lucky760 and @dag: How long do these new 20 powerpoints (now 18 after submitting two and full with seven queued videos) last for new Galaxy Levels?
I cant get over how epic the songs are. Fricken genius dag!

I need to get to galaxy level...I can only imagine my icon
Oh, that SOOOO motivates me to reach galaxy!
Those songs were epic!
hopefully it's a zombie spunking in a kleenex
LOL, I love how they're awarded 20 power points and @ant still couldn't give this a quality.

I was going to sift them, but you beat me to it. I wonder if it would have counted as a self link though? >> ^eric3579:

I wonder what is after Galaxy Level. Do we get administrator access?
This is an astounding development. I'm proud to be a member of this community!

You would get banned and have to start all over from the beginning, and I would be in first place.

Looks like @blankfist and @mintbbb are next with 132 and 192 stars away, respectively...
I suppose we'll need to start asking new Galaxy members what they'd like the theme of their badge/icon to be when they can't be nailed down by avatar.
In any case, I can't wait to hear more original Sifter folk music from @dag maggot.

You've all made the sift very proud.

congrats to the top players of videosift!
I was hoping that once you hit galaxy (or some high end rating) that your name would be taken off the top 15 and just put into some kind of unique hall of fame for now on...
either way, need to start working hard so that I can get my crown... No one seem to post a sift talk of me hitting diamond when I hit it a week or so ago... At least dotdude was nice enough to sift my 500th video
Congratulations to Zifnab and ant for making the administrators work for a living.
And @siftbot made me LOL! Twice!

Funny, yesterday I was wondering What would come after the crown.
Congrats guys!
Genuine amazingness all round. Congrats to @ant and @Zifnab!
This is why I love Videosift. @ant, @Zifnab, @dag, you are all awesome!
congrats, boys!
This is so awesome! Congrats man and insect!
Here was my reaction when I noticed

Must... have.... galaxy.
>> ^EDD:

You're awesome too.
cheers guys, well done.
i briefly felt the need to sift 500 more videos just to see a tiny, psychedelic Bob Dylan logo with @dag serenading me doing his best impression of the man in some sort of high-pitched, coke-fuelled, nasal Australian accent.
I say this Sifttalk is ripe for a comment upvote circle-jerk!
Also, @blankfist's song is already out there:
^ @hpqp
I'm in! Want to sit next to me?
Seriously, Upvotes cost nothing, and feel sooo good.
I for one welcome our new galaxy overlords! Congrats Folks!
congratulations to both of you!
and the songs were truly stellar.
Congrats guyz! Everything's better in space!
>> ^DerHasisttot:

Yeah, you all look like ants to me from there.
Congratulations to both of your video junkies.
And congratulations to Dag for beginning his world tour of bars and strip joints serenading the lonely and depressed.
(seriously, those songs were awesome)
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
I found this great video site because of @ant through Blues News. I never expected that someday this galaxy would not be so far away.
So thanks @ant, but the force is strong on the dark side of the sift so good luck taking me down!

Dang. I was on VS almost four months longer than you and you're #1. Hmmph! You ARE going down. Maybe in a few years.
Grats to you both, @Zifnab and @ant for hitting your bajillionth star point!
Great job on the musics, @dag, these guys deserve it!
Personally, I thought this was awesome.
Congratulations gents.
if dag ever sells the sift for a fortune to some media empire he'll sure can pursue a folk singer's career :-P
great work zifnab and ant, good to have you around here!
Very cool - I'll reserve my 'two girls one cup' themed badge now please. Only >1700 to go, so, you know. Get cracking on that design.
2000 Star Points and I get a song... hmmm I almost got 250... sooo Dag, you got some years time to write my song!
And I used all of my 20 points. Can I have more, Dag and Lucky760? [grin]
I want Dag to go galaxy and self-serenade
