Title: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on March 06, 2008, 01:00:00 PM
Because I figure these should be visible to people other than myself...

<table border="1"><tr><td><font size="2">Posts</font></td><td><font size="2">Rank/Title</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2">5000</font></td><td><font size="2">Daemon</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2">1000</font></td><td><font size="2">Greater Entity</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2">500</font></td><td><font size="2">Entity</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2">250</font></td><td><font size="2">Enlightened</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2">100</font></td><td><font size="2">Creature</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2">50</font></td><td><font size="2">Youngling</font></td></tr><tr><td><font size="2">0</font></td><td><font size="2">Hatchling</font></td></tr></table>

I'm in second to most?
Gee I talk a lot...   :P
Well, at least there's 4,000, in between mine and the biggest.   ;D
Are those all of them?
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on March 07, 2008, 09:10:00 AM
Those are all of them, at present.  I can add up to 4 more, wherever I see fit.  I've considered putting one in at about 2,500...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Fox on March 07, 2008, 11:13:00 AM
2,500: "WIZAAARRRRD!"

Yeah......I like those Alltel commercials too much.

Huh..just a few hundred more on my part...nifty.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on March 12, 2008, 08:27:00 PM
Heh... I must've missed this, earlier...   :P

Well, as the person that talks the most, here... I wonder how long it would take me to reach that...   :P
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on March 13, 2008, 11:27:00 AM
So...do ya'll think I should put something in at 2,500?  I've been considering doing so, myself, but haven't thought of anything to put there...

Though no, I don't think I'd be putting "Wizaaaaaard!" in there...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Fox on March 14, 2008, 07:28:00 AM
Hehe....x3 That's become mine & my dad's "nerd thing". XD

It's up to you. There's a number of mythological-related terms still open..like mage..and..stuff.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on March 14, 2008, 11:58:00 AM
Well, if any of ya'll have any suggestions...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on March 16, 2008, 04:19:00 AM
Heh...
Well, I like the thought of another one at 2,500...
But, as to what, I'm afraid my ideas'll just sound stupid.   :P
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: allicat on March 16, 2008, 07:54:00 AM
Faith, stop caring what people will think. From experience, your ideas are usually good. (But don't be getting a big head, now. But you usually don't do that either...   :P )
But, you know, that could just be the opinion of the person who's lived with you all your life...   :)
Or we could ask a stranger. I could see it now...
Me: HEY! YOU! THE ONE WITH THE FACE! DO YOU THINK FAITH IS ANNOYING, AND HER IDEAS ARE DUMB?
  :)

Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on March 17, 2008, 04:05:00 PM
Heh...
Well, that's very, er... kind of you?..
Heh... sorry, that's about all I can say to that.
Tsk tsk tsk... that and look all those capitals...   :P    :)

I think Dragyn already knows the reason for this question, actually.   :)
And, that may be waiting a while longer, yet, due to the fact that the extra money required would have to be found for that, beforehand.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: allicat on March 18, 2008, 05:20:00 PM
What's with the rankings, anyway? I don't get it. Is there a game associated with this forum? Does it have to do with the stupid points? (Which I don't understand, either.)

I am lost in a world full of blah. bLaH i TeLl Ya! (I like writing like that. It looks cool.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: allicat on March 18, 2008, 05:22:00 PM
Lol. Rotfl.

Btw, what's with the little stars? And why are they different colors? Does it have to do with the ranking?
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Fox on March 18, 2008, 07:11:00 PM
They do, indeed. Typically, the red ones reprisent the administrator, while the blue ones are global monderators, and the green a simple moderator.(only a mod to the board/s the admin assigns them to)

A regular member is suposed to only have yellow stars, but I see that was changed a little.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on March 19, 2008, 08:08:00 AM
Yeah, I've had fun with the stars.  

@ Allicat: Have you, perchance, read the rules (http://beastling.proboards99.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=rules&thread=9&page=1)?
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on March 20, 2008, 04:44:00 AM
Heh...
Now wondering... what on Earth am I, now?
A... er... monderator... well, with or without the spelling error I suspect to be there, I don't think that is what I am.   ;D
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on March 24, 2008, 02:02:00 PM
Nah, you fall under the blanket of "Member."  I just played with the colors, so they don't mean anything anymore.

Also, I don't think "Monderator" is a word, either.  I just didn't notice it,  until you mentioned it, there...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on March 24, 2008, 03:50:00 PM
Heh.   ;D

I figured. Wait, how many Moderators are there, now?...
Isn't there three?

Post by: Fox on March 24, 2008, 04:21:00 PM
My keyboard is out to get me. >.< If it's not my inability to read things right, it's my keyboard locking up on me. XP

Ever think about making custom images for rankings? Little pixel versions of characters or something? Might be interesting.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on March 25, 2008, 05:37:00 PM
You mean to replace the stars?  I'd considered it, even planned to, once.  I just never actually have...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on March 27, 2008, 10:22:00 PM
Heh...    :)

You can do that? Neat.
What'd you do?
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on March 28, 2008, 09:20:00 AM
...Nothing.  That's why they're still stars.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on March 31, 2008, 10:07:00 PM
Er... heh... oops.
I meant, what did you plan to do?
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on April 04, 2008, 08:28:00 AM
I dunno', really.  That's part of why they were never changed.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on April 05, 2008, 12:57:00 PM
Heh.   :)
You could try characters, maybe?...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on April 07, 2008, 08:43:00 AM
Eh, maybe.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on April 09, 2008, 04:42:00 PM
Heh... sorry, not helpful, am I?   :P

Hey...
Maybe, in Art, you could make a topic where people make some random ones for the forum, themselves, and then anybody could just choose what was available, form that topic...   :)
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on April 11, 2008, 09:01:00 AM
Hmm...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on April 11, 2008, 03:57:00 PM
Hehehe.   ;D

Judging by your earlier post, that "Hmm..." is a good one.

Yay, I didn't make a bad/stupid suggestion!   ;D

I didn't post anything, there, since I figured I'd do that, once I had something. ^_^
I'll have to figure out what to do, now. ^_^

But, now I have to go... my Mom's yelling at me, so that we can head home...
She's started using my middle name, so I think she's serious.   :P
Honestly, what's so big about the middle name?   ;D
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Gryphor on September 04, 2008, 02:15:00 PM
I think you should put one at 2,500

I also like the idea of characters instead of stars:)
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Fox on September 04, 2008, 02:42:00 PM
2,500 posts: "Flaming Baby"
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on September 04, 2008, 09:57:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

I still have that picture, actually... XD
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on September 08, 2008, 07:56:00 AM
Poor, poor Ramjik...ever shall he be known as the Flaming Baby...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: bloodreaper on September 08, 2008, 08:34:00 AM
Okay, here's a question:

Is there just one of each colored star, and it's displayed X times, where X is the rank of the member, or is the row of stars all one picture?

If there's one of each star, you get a hierachy, where somebody get's promoted from Beastling to Dante', but if the whole thing is all one image, we could all start out with a Chad, and then get a Beastling, a Ramjik, a Dante', and a Gonador, added to the row as we level up.

Edit: They are, in fact, several pictures of the same star, not one picture with several stars in it.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on September 08, 2008, 08:52:00 PM
*Laugh!!!*   :D

I should apologize...
But my laughing won't making sound very sincere. XD

That general idea sounds pretty neat...
But that means we ought to get to work on those emoticons, if we want that, doesn't it?   ;D
Hey, if we're doing something like that, maybe we could could just choose a character out of groups considered to be at certain ranks and kinda customize our variety of emoticons?...

Weren't we going to think up something between 1,000 posts and 5,000?...

Oh, and while we're talking about posts and ranks: congrats Fox.   ;D  

Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on September 09, 2008, 05:21:00 AM
Uh...unless each rank is made custom (as in, as a single image with the hierarchy of characters) I can't have more than one type of 'star' in there at a time.  It just repeats the one I chose.

Though there's some merit to the concept...
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on September 09, 2008, 05:46:00 PM
Hm... couldn't the images be combined to make on image, and then prevented from being repeated?

*Shrugs.*
It was just a thought. I figured it when Bloodreaper gave his idea for rankings.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on September 10, 2008, 05:31:00 AM
...

Isn't that what I just said?
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on September 10, 2008, 02:34:00 PM
You mean you either answered, and said no, or I missed something...
'Cuz what I read said you used one thing and it repeated it. So I was just wondering if you could take the repeat off.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: bloodreaper on September 11, 2008, 02:14:00 AM
He said no, we wouldn't be able to do that on this server, unless we found a way do do the thing which you then suggested.

Nice...   ;D

He really has, you know. And so have I. >.<
It's infectious... and it won't stop. O.O
So, yeah. Now that we're all caught up on our speech impediments...

Huh. Okay. So we could just choose one that we like, per group?
Heh... that's back where we were a while ago, isn't it?...

Now I'm going to be thinking about that at school, all of tomorrow...
And possbily worse than that, I think you're just a little happy with yourself, right now. XD
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: bloodreaper on September 17, 2008, 03:21:00 AM
The scary thing is, this is the internet, where I effectively don't even have a speech impediment.

How can it still be influencing your speech patterns/psychology?
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Faith on September 17, 2008, 08:01:00 PM
Because, you were here... >.<
Though luckily it seems to lessen when you go away.   :P

That... sounded meaner than it was supposed to be... XD
*No offense intended* ':D

I'll just stay over here then.

Post by: Faith on September 19, 2008, 05:27:00 PM
Oh, no!

Hm... this is a strange thing for forum rankings... what are we suggesting with this?
"Dialectally Dysfunctional" - 3,000 posts

The post count really contradicts the name...
But, it's somehow fitting.


Yes, I'm out there enough, right now to have said all this... I don't really know why.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: bloodreaper on September 19, 2008, 06:17:00 PM
Avast, I be barely gettin' Enlightened.

There's no sense in naming titles for me, as others will be gettin' there a'fore me.

I could do with a custom title, tho'.

Maybe.

Sorry to those with a black background, eh?
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Fox on September 25, 2008, 09:33:00 AM
Being me. If ya' hadn't said anything, I would've never noticed that. XD I prefer the darker theme, though, because the others hurt my eyes. x.x

I wish ProBoards had a feature, where the user could change their own title. Freewebs has that..but it's still up to the admin as to when it can be done.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: bloodreaper on September 25, 2008, 10:45:00 AM
The Red on Black one actually hurts my eyes, so I just use the default.
Title: Re: Forum Rankings
Post by: Dragyn on September 26, 2008, 01:32:00 PM
I use the yellow on red, m'self.

Well, some of the time...

*Shrugs* Whatever works.

Heh. Well, I'm using the Ramjick one... just to add to this strange little discussion. =J
Which is a strange little discussion, indeed...
