DemonGoddess Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 Okay, here's the thing. When an IPB is installed, it has different ranks for how many posts that you have. I know the pips don't show, but that will change here in a bit as well. I can make it so that the graphic for your member group as well as the pips for posting show up at the same time, and will. Anyway, there was a set of custom default member titles already in place here, long before I was ever here. I'm not so crazy about 'em, as they are anime/manga specific, rather than allowing for the fact that there are MANY more fandoms and fandom types that are written about in the archive. So, need some help in devising something that fits better. Here's the defaults (which we don't use) Newbie - 0 min posts - 1 pip Member - 10 min posts - 2 pips Advanced Member - 30 minimum posts - 3 pips Current set (dunno how long these have been set up, but it's been quite awhile) Forum Virgin - 0 minimum posts - 1 pip Hentai in Training - 50 minimum posts - 2 pips Hentai - 250 minimum posts - 3 pips Master Hentai - 500 minimum posts - 4 pips AFF Forum Slut - 1000 minimum posts - 5 pips <-----(this one irks me, it's offensive) Proposed (so far) Forum Virgin - 0 minimum posts Forum Kisser - 50 minimum posts Forum Groper - 250 minimum posts Forum Libertine - 500 minimum posts Forum Master - 1000 minimum posts Forum Grand Master - 2000 minimum posts (we don't need the forum in front of the titles either by the way) ------ In addition to that, I have the ability to create secondary and tertiary pip set to allow for more posting beyond 2000. So, would need rankings accordingly for that as well. Forum Grand Master (or whatever) 2000 posts (2nd ranking set) name? 2500 posts name? 3000 posts name? 3500 posts name? 4000 posts third rank set name? 5000 posts name? is 6000 posts name? is 7000 posts name? is 8000 posts name? is 9000 posts Anyway, what I'm looking for is additional input. For all three sets, if possible. Quote

Kanashii Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 I vote 'virgin' be replaced with otters walk among us Ok, what is this "Otters Walk Among us" I see all the time? What am I missing. Fill me in. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 Knorg, can you come up with a whole list similarly themed? I'm serious, by the way. Kanashii-- "otters walk among us" is something that someone changed member titles to, after buying the magic marker in the store. Quote

Thank you so much, Keith Inc.! That was quite an effort you put out for us up there, and what I've quoted of your post above inspired me to sit here in front of thesaurus.com for three hours to come up with a new way to think about rank titles. The idea's that the descriptive words (the first of the title) denote the newness (or lack thereof) of the poster, and the second word is a term for some sort of writer. So, I've put them in an order I think might work, in groups of five -- the first five are for the newest folks, next five are middle-ground post-counters, and the last five are for the people that blow the top off the joint. As far as the post counts that'd hypothetically go with these, I'm not married to any parcitular number, so I've left that part unspecified. Feel free to go nuts and fix tweak this list if you feel this idea's worth building upon, everyone -- and thanks again for all the help and inspiration!

These are great! Perfect for the forum, after all most of us are writers, yes? I vote for these. Beth Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Posted January 19, 2008 hehe Beth, we're not voting on 'em quite YET. I wanna see what else others can come up with first. Quote
DemonGoddess Posted January 29, 2008 Author Report Posted January 29, 2008 So, anyone else with any ideas as for this? If you're not sure what I'm looking at with having second and third sets of rankings, what that entails is either having different pip sets for those ranks, or increasing the number of pips up to 15, depending on the level of posting.
