Forum Rankings (i.e. captain of 10, 50, 100, 1000) NEW IDEA?

Post by creator »

We've been using this forum ranking for a while "captain of 10, 50, 100, 1000"... I'm open to new ideas if anyone has any suggestions for a new forum rank system.

Also, if anyone wants their own custom-rank just tell me what you want me to set it as... I think at this point the only one with a custom rank besides me ("web master") is Chelc ("the law").

I vote for a "captain of 500"-- I've been stuck with the 100-designation FOREVER... ;-)

I think I went with those specific numbers 10, 50, 100, 1000 is because those are specific to how the Law of Moses was setup... I don't think they had a captain of 500. (not that we couldn't... and I could wrong, maybe there was a captain of 500?)

Not that the ranking system has any real significance but I'm also open to ideas for new ranks to replace what we've got now. In the past one of the top ranks was "level 33 Illuminated" but some people didn't like that B-)

I say we use Primary class names. Rob the Sunbeam has a nice ring to it. :D

And how about a designation for most posts per day? :))

I'm pretty sure that accomplishment (most posts per day) belongs to Jason now.

Don't you mean "My Name is Nobody"?

As in the 1960 Italian western Trinity triolgy:
My Name is Trinity
Trinity is STILL My name
My Name is Nobody

How about along with 10, 50...etc, a rank be designated? I'm not much of a historian, but whatever the ranking system was for the troops back during the times of battle encompassing the signing of the Constitution sounds plausible to me. Wasn't there a cry for freedom then, too?

See: http://www.srcalifornia.com/flags/revuniforms1.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looks like there were colors worn for distinction so as to tell what rank a soldier held.

Just a thought.

I have really liked the captain thing. Some of the other forums put to much emphasis on ratings. But I am new, so I know others would like something new. I'm for it.
I wish we could say thanks. Sometimes I just want people to know I appreciate their posts, even though I don't comment. The thumbs down thing, not good ( meaning no thanks, didn't like the post) Plus I don't want anything like AVOW! :(
And yes, Jason would ALWAYS get the award for most posts! But he should! I really like his informative posts.

One last thing. If we start over, can we all start at the beginning. :D

The 1st is on the right, and the 2nd is on the left, and the 3rd in the middle is spinning like a top.

I also concur with Juliette that a "thanks " button would be nice. Says thanks by... (lists your username) so that the poster knows who has read and appreciated the post.

Lots of good posts here, deserving of a Thanks!

ps-- Thanks, Brian. Good to see you Saturday!

LOL! I was referring to the first and second amendment ;)
I had that bumper sticker once, got a lot of questions about it too.
