R1Toasty Posted January 7, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2008 Hey, I've been browsing around on some other forums and have found that some have a ranking system based on the number of posts. I know this site has junior member and member, but wouldn't it be cool if we had a more dedicated ranking system on top of that. Perhaps something like: >100 posts: junior member 100-499 psots: member 500-999 posts: R1 1000-1499 posts: R4 etc... or perhaps you could do it with car numbers! Just an idea. What do you all think about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo M 201 Posted January 7, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2008 That would be cool. Question is if Harry can set something like that up with the forum he running on. I think he should be able to with what he running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted January 7, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2008 Currently the forum is not using user ranks. The forum is using user titles instead. Below is the user titles and when a user receives them. The usertitle of 'Member' used to be at 25 and has been raised to 100. Of course the higher titles numbers are meant for members to never reach them. Who knows, maybe someday someone will. New Member 0 Junior Member 25 Member 100 Senior Member 2000 Veteran Member 8000 Esteemed Member 10000 Supreme Member 15000 I've considered using ranks when I started the forum with train models, actual MTA work titles, or silly names like in other boards but I thought it would interfere with the actual work titles (Bus Operator, Train Operator, Train Conductor, Locomotive Engineer) of real transit employees that I would like to assign. I finally decided that the 'Member' word with hierarchies just works better in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1Toasty Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted January 7, 2008 Ah, I see. I guess some of us will eventually get up there, might take a while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberider Posted January 8, 2008 Share #10 Posted January 8, 2008 I had just made "Member" and now I'm a "Junior Member" again. That makes me feel good at my age! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted February 7, 2008 Share #11 Posted February 7, 2008 The most I've ever had on any board was somewhere around 22,400. I was a member of that board (a music forum) from September 2005 to September 2007 (I reached it in 2 years, exactly). I have since deleted my account there, though. I do belong to another music board, which I've been at since March 2006, and I currently have 15,569 posts there. Wow! That's a lot of posts bro. The most I ever racked up on any board was about 1,000 more or less. This is the first board that I go over 1,500 post threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransitGuy Posted February 10, 2008 Share #13 Posted February 10, 2008 Funny story, when I was on BTN II, I actually surpassed the admin in posts and I didn't even realize it. Of course thats when I had a lot of time. Nowadays it seems like the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how long do you have to be registered to be a Supreme Member? Something like 50 years?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
