This is my 3rd question and I must look allitle noobish to some people but oh well :) Can someone please explain the ranking system to me or show me a thread about it?
-
We have a rankings system?
-
that number under your name.
-
It's just the largest power of 2 that is less than your postcount.
-
Kind of a measure of how senior a member is. Though it isn't foolproof. I post a lot, so my "rank" is much higher than some who joined the same time I did. (I joined in January '06, BTW)
You can usually assume that someone with a postcount rank of >10 has been here a long time though.
-
Coming up on 5 years for me actually. I don't even know what my number is
-
I've been here for a bit more than a year, and I don't get how all these people who have been here for 5 or 6 months have post counts of 1000+
That is excactly why I wonder why I have this ("think then post") title and CD dosen't :)
I suppose one of the admins just don't like me. [cough cough cough] *name not audible* [/cough cough cough]
-
It doesn't mean much really. Someone who has 2^9 may only have half as many posts as someone with 2^10, if you think about it.
-
whatever happened to the ship classes? that was sorta cool. id be a deimos by now if they were still there.
-
I quite like the power of two system, it reminds me of the levelling up system for most RPG's ;)
-
I got a lot of catching up to do

Does anyone? :p

What am I at?

I knew I would eventually get a response like that.
-
ah I see now,thanks
-
I also kinda miss the ship ranking system. I was about 10 posts away from being a Valkyrie when the switch happened. Oh well. The powers of 2 system is cool, too.
-
What am I at?
9 look at the power right below your name
-
I've been here since Feb. 05'. I've made a thousand something posts. 2^10.

heh, we should have a yearly HLP Awards Week. During that time people get to vote on topics like:
a.) Most Anticipated Mod (under construction)
b.) Best Released Mod (FS2 Camapign)
c.) Best Released Mod (Total Conversion)
d.) Most Humorus Post (Can be a pic, a comment, or article of stupidy)
e.) Most Improved Modeler
f.) Best Model
g.) Best Texture or Graphical Effect?
h.) I guess we can have Best Coder???? (not sure on how to quantify this one)
i.) Most Improved Forumite (Cobra mgiht qualify :p)
j.) Best Troll
k.) And the one inspired by this thread and Swantz's last posting, Most Prolific Spammer!
Once again random act of inspiration strikes like lightning (Ouch!!!) :lol:
Note: I will probably forget this idea in about 2 weeks....
-
Ubermetroid you're at 893.
Swantz you're at 1,425.
And am I the only one who can see the "real" post count quite clearly underneath everyones online/offline status?
-
No, I can see it too. Maybe people just don't look. :blah:
-
I actually pay attention to the postcount number more than the 2^x thing, but whatevs.
Oh, and I like Robo G's idea. 'twould hopefully bring even more lively fun to the forums. :D
Yay, +1 for posting experience!
-
No, finding low cost USB joysticks would bring fun back to the forum... I'd be all over multiplayer fs2 like a hooker over a rich mans privates. :nervous:

Oh I can see the post count, but I did not know what my 2^9 thing was. So I posted to find out. With that being said I have a low post count for being around since July 02, 2003, 12:11:28 AM. :D

No, I see the post count, I just didn't know the number since I didn't view my post count before I posted.
-
<< this number denotre the length of your digital penis
:D

I'm glad most people like the postcount ranking thingy. :) Someday soon I'll work through the user info side section there and make it more organized... probably when SMF 1.1 is finalized. :)
-
I like it, But mine should be higher, I miss the custom Titles too.......
