little rankings under names

Hannibal · Post by **Hannibal** » Tue May 03, 2005 2:33 am

Iam wondering how you achieve the little military rankings under the names of people that have posted

i think it might be from the number of posts or time registered.TY

RPG · Post by **RPG** » Tue May 03, 2005 2:38 am

Post count... yes, definatly post count.

Hannibal · Post by **Hannibal** » Tue May 03, 2005 2:43 am

yes RPG, i see that you have 1088 posts and just about the highest rank possible in the military

Yeah, RPG is just full of...

conversation

...and if you reach 2000 posts, you've talked too much and become a "Cosmic Castaway".

Or, if you worship the Star Wars Gansta Rap flash movie too much in your signature, you'll get the title "Sith Lord".

And, if you sit around on your butt, camping in your tank all day, you'll get the "Admiral of Rusted Tanks" title.

Are you implying that rolling tanks gather no rust?

hehehehe, toaster May be it has more to do with using a tank cockpit for making some moonshine.

wow, its scarey how off-topic some of these posts get

I'm only 10 posts away from the next rank which is a gunnery sargent. yay!

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Tue May 03, 2005 8:02 pm

yeah I have been thinking of spreading out the rankings since there is a lot of "chatter" that makes people go up realy fast.

RPG · Post by **RPG** » Tue May 03, 2005 9:03 pm

I'm pretty much set for a few more months, my next rank increas is at 1500 posts. Then the big 3000. Then I can start begging for the admin rank (

):D

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Tue May 03, 2005 10:15 pm

hmm never noticed I got the wrong blue in the admin one.

Probably should add some more intermediary ranks too, I know I skipped some. Didnd't do anything with petty officer IIRC

I ponder expanding the ranks to something like this. The orignal rank numbers were made when the board was rather new and had few users. Now that it gets a lot more trafic I think it may be time to update it to have a larger range.

Count Rank
0 Recruit
5 Cadet
15 Private
25 Private First Class
100 Corporal
150 Sergeant
200 Staff Sergeant
250 Gunnery Sergeant
300 Master Sergeant
350 Sergeant Major
400 Petty Officer
450 Chief Petty Officer
500 Warrant Officer
600 Chief Warrant Officer
700 Master Warrant Officer
800 Master Chief
900 Ensign
950 Lieutenant, Junior Grade
1000 1st Lieutenant
1150 Lieutenant
1300 Lieutenant Commander
1500 Commander
1750 Captain
1900 Major
2000 Lieutenant Colonel
2250 Colonel
2500 Brigadier General
2750 Major General
3000 Lieutenant General
4000 General
5000 Insane

That's a more high-poster friendly rank system. I say go!

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Tue May 03, 2005 10:45 pm

I'll have to make new images before I can do it.

RPG · Post by **RPG** » Tue May 03, 2005 10:46 pm

Totaly Unstopable

While you're at it, totally is spelled with two L's, and stoppable with two P's.

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Tue May 03, 2005 10:47 pm

compression

RPG · Post by **RPG** » Tue May 03, 2005 11:51 pm

Wait a sec, was the rank title always above the rank image? It just caught my eye when I looked at the image....

The Red Baron · Post by **The Red Baron** » Tue May 03, 2005 11:53 pm

with all your post rpg, and you just now saw this?!?

lmao

RPG · Post by **RPG** » Tue May 03, 2005 11:56 pm

I SWEAR the rank title was below the image! I can almost remember when it was the other way!

Hannibal · Post by **Hannibal** » Wed May 04, 2005 1:59 am

wow, i just wanted a straight forward answer, and 2 days later i get a full page of stuff

JeffM · Post by **JeffM** » Wed May 04, 2005 3:36 am

it has not been changed, it's allways been there

How about Armageddon if anyone get their posts up to 10000? That would be great to be the first person to get it.

TD-Linux · Post by **TD-Linux** » Tue May 31, 2005 10:05 pm

That's strange: I always thought those captions (A clear and present danger, Sith Lord, etc...) were part of the ranking.
It would be cool if you could have a caption like that under your picture that you could change. Of course, changing the upper one would be cooler

Mmm, Armageddon and Insane... that gives me incentive. Ladies and gentlemen, start your browsers...
