Site Ranking System

Forum site ranking system

Under your username you will notice a series of graphical pips representing your posting rank. This increases with your post count as outlined below.

The pip graphics are based on the Commodore tick used throughout the life of the Amiga in advertising, in printed material, and featuring on the case of early Amiga models.

The initial ranking system is based on the ranking system from the Amiga game Frontier: Elite 2 and new members will all begin with a single pip and a rank of Harmless.

The initial ten ranks you will rise though as you increase your post count are as follows:

No. of pips	Post Count	Rank
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_1.gif	0	Harmless
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_2.gif	25	Mostly Harmless
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_3.gif	50	Poor
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_4.gif	75	Below Average
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_5.gif	100	Average
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_6.gif	200	Above Average
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_7.gif	300	Competent
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_8.gif	400	Dangerous
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image..._level_2_9.gif	500	Deadly
http://forum.classicamiga.info/image...level_2_10.gif	1,000	ELITE

It is going to take everyone some time before they reach the rank of ELITE.

Note: for those of you who came from the original old forum, your post counts would all have started from 0 again. If you would like your post counts from the old forum added to the post count on this forum please PM me and I will do this for you.

Additional Ranks: Once a lot of the regular members start to reach the rank of Elite we will then add a second tier of ranks to the system to continue the ranking system into a new set of ranks.

I only hope this will not turn into a competition about who can get to the Elite Rank first, It's still foremost a forum, and not a "getting higher level or rank" game, like an RPG.

Off-topic or mass posting that seems to have no other purpose other than to increasing postcounts is spamming and will be deleted.

For the site ranking. Are they the exact same as the combat ratings in Frontier?

No they're not. You only need 1000 posts to be elite here, but in Frontier you need 6000(!) kills. Yes, it'll take a while to get there. The list in Frontier goes as follows:

Points	rank
0	Harmless
4	Mostly Harmless
8	Poor
16	Below Average
32	Average
64	Above Average
128	Competent
1000	Dangerous
3000	Deadly
6000	ELITE

Well, that gives me a decent start not to look so far behiend from everyone else. Last time i posted here i had 100 posts, and everyone else had 3000 or something crazy.

Nice to see you again Vangar. It is good to start again sometimes to give newer members a level start again. The old forum had been running for so long that high post counts were always going to be hard for newer members to match.

With the new forum, once members start to reach the 1000 post count I will introduce a second level of post count ranks that will start again with one pip and build up again. This way all members should aways be working towards another rank regardless of their post count.
