Subject: User Ranks
[quick quote] [quote]

I suppose those of us who have been posting up a storm (I'm looking at you, Hark and theTOM) have noticed, but for the benefit of everyone else:

I have a series of fun user ranks set up.  They change as you reach certain completely arbitrarily-chosen landmarks in post count.  Be on the lookout, there are a number of "secret" ones that are only shown for one specific number of posts.

If you feel so inclined, you may use this thread to keep track of them, but I'm not going to post what people have gotten so far.

Not if you write a bot.

I tried, but I kept getting redirected to the login screen when I sent the post information (despite the fact that the bot logged in successfully and retrieved the session ID and such). Must be something I overlooked.

Can't be arsed too much though :>

Botting our own forum just for stats would be a little silly, though. :P  It's just going to take time, effort and commitment.  One day I shall achieve an off-the-scale power level.

Yeah, it's good until August. I think I might try to take the roadskills test again before I come back to C-Ville. I'm a little more comfortable driving now than I was when I originally took it way back, so hopefully I won't fail this time.

lulz.

It's not exactly a difficult skill.  Mostly it's just about time and experience to get the right muscle memory to do everything automatically.  If you do take the test just remember seatbelt and mirrors before putting the key in the ignition.  And if you're lucky they won't bother to make you parallel park.

Damn, guys, it's a good thing I added more ranks last night.  I'd previously only had up to 100 defined, but now there's up to 400.  Coming up with the secret ones is getting a bit tough as I've expended most of my ideas.  I guess maybe I should have spaced them out a bit more or something.

Also, if you'd rather not bother with the automated ranks, I can give people custom ones.  There is a pretty faggy character limit, but I've already hacked the DB once to increase a field length and haxoring themes to reflect that was a bitch, so I'd rather not do that again.

Nah, automated ranks are pretty fun. I'd much prefer the automated ones to a custom one.

They give me incentive to spam the boards more than I already do :)

Here here!  The only problem is if L and I are competing for most posts I have to work all day... puts me at an disadvantage, so I need to be extra spammy to keep up.
