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 0 Harmless 25 Mostly Harmless 50 Poor 75 Below Average 100 Average 200 Above Average 300 Competent 400 Dangerous 500 Deadly 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.
