a question on changes to the board
a question on changes to the board
I have made a set of rank icons for another board, and I think they may work well here. If you don't know what a rank icon is, it's those flags under your name over there on the left.
Not that I don't mind the flags currently used, but the names associated with them dosn't seem to imply any order and have lead to some confusion.
So how do you all feel about changing to something like these.
Standard Ranks
Recruit
Cadet
Private
Private First Class
Corporal
Sergeant
Staff Sergeant
Gunnery Sergeant
Master Sergeant
Sergeant Major
Master Cheif
Ensign
Lieutenant
Captain
Major
Colonel
Brigadier General
Major General
Lieutenant General
General
Insane
Special Ranks
Developers
Dev Monkey
Dev Guru
Dev Wizard
Stupid people

i like them just the way they are ..... great work pat i love the new ranting system
and BTW: why are we using air force ranking? why not Army? basically the same concept, but Army also has Warrent Officers, and stuff like Gunnery Sergeant = Platoon Sergeant, and Master Cheif= Sergeant Magor of the Army...etc
just a thought....but i really do like the ensigna!! too cool, much better than before

Maybe it's because we drive tanks that can jump, and fall from great heights.

And the Army dosn't have Stargate Teams, or teleporter technology
but it's not a real airforce ranking
if it was there would be no "private" (army), we would have "airman" (airforce). Ensign is from the navy ( Second Lieutenant is kinda a stupid name IMHO )
I made a combination of all of them, since not everyone here is in the US, it kinda made sense to make one that wesn't an exact replica of any one miliary, but I don't know how they do ranks in other places around the world.
so think of it as just the International Tank Corps.
The images are larger then the older ones, but it seems that avatars are geting larger, so I make the ranks keep up ( they are now 100 wide as oposed to the old 64 wide ). They are PNGs so if you use IE they will look like crap. I am working on that tho.

I just got done doing a cleanup of old inactive accounts. and the ranks look to fill out like this:
We have:
2 Lt. Generals
1 Brigadeir General
2 Colonels
2 Majors
1 Lieutenant
4 Sergeant Majors
5 Master Sergeants
2 Gunnery Sergeants
6 Staff Sergeants
7 Sergeants
6 Corporals
20 Privates First Class
30 Privates
79 Cadets
68 Recruits
based on the post count alone, some people have custom ranks, but this takes it into account if they did not. This also includes the 4 CNCs
