Ranks [that text under your name]

Post by Halfshell »

It's easier this way...

0 - Protoform
25 - Micromaster
50 - Seeker
75 - Headmaster
150 - Dinobot
250 - Powermaster
400 - Triple Changer
550 - Gestalt
1100 - Unicron
1500 - Matrix Keeper
2000 - One with the Matrix
3500 - Primus
5000 - Now Please Irradiate Your Hands

Nuff said.

[Staff edit]

You'll all notice some people have ranks / titles which aren't connected to how many posts they've made.

Some of these are staff, some of these are because staff though they'd be amusing (don't worry, this doesn't happen much) and some are because people got to 5000 posts and were given the option of changing the rank / title to their choice of text.

Recently that's been loosened up a bit, and anyone with a thousand posts or more who's been registered for a year can edit their own.

So, for example, once you reached that point you could go back to being a Dinobot forever if you wanted.

Lastly... ranks are just a bit of fun. They don't actually mean anything. They aren't an excuse for posting crap just so they'll change.

It's the bit that says "Custom User Text" underneath "Birthdate".

Figured it was time to update this stickied thread.

I think we've given up trying to get staff to use titles which say they're staff, so I've changed mine too. People can see the list and the lists at the top of forums.

I don't like some part about it.


You're a seeker for 15 posts.

You're a guesalt for 450.


I want to be a Seeker longer than that,and I don't want to be a guesalt for 450.

Eh, you can always set your custom rank to "Seeker" once you qualify for a custom title.

Hmm. Apparently I could set a custom title for me.
Now, if only I knew what to put there...
In a perfect world, this would be a signature. As it stands, it's just the lack of.

Because you can't enter a custom rank yet.
