Here's a little info on how the post ranks are set currently:
Thanks Rico! Not as bad as I thought - figuring I would have to go to 1000 to get my next promo - but now I see I need 500 to finally become a general officer...shoulder to the wheel...nose to the grindstone...
Very cool!
We do something similar on another forum I use. It always added a lot of fun....(and a few "LoL" and "PMSL" postings)
That was till I ruined it by accepting a Moderator tag....and gave up my unique username colour! :)
I was about to explain that I really, really want to be promoted to captain and have to post more...
Thanks for posting, I love statistics! :)
Looks like I got a long way to go to make Master of the Universe :) . What happens then? Are you able to penetrate the Great Barrier and Find Sha Ka Ree lol

Stereotypically you sooner or later raise to "a higher plane of existence". That's when you've got enough of being a Q and tormenting captains! ;)
I'm getting closer to Master of the Universe...
Will we have to battle for that title Rico when I get there.. or will you just move up to Omnipotent One :)

Hmmm, I think if Master of the Universe allowed me into the Q Continuum, I would be quite happy with that, but sounds like I am limiting myself in my expectations of What Master of the Universe will bring :)
Hey, I've got more ranks to shoot for!
Great!
It's gonna take a while...

Yeah, but you've already got the Master's shoulder jewelery. Must be all that moderating :)

Wow you're right.. I never noticed that..

There can only be one!
I think we need to bring in some light swords and Amok Time music.
Although there often is the dark counterpart, like Skeletor for H-Man, but I was planning to secure that spot! ;)
I love how there are 275 people who took the time to register but haven't posted a single time. :(
Edit.. I guess they could have posted up to 4 for that rating..

Two Master of the Universe soon. Do you think the Universe will be large enough for the both of you? ;)
I like the fact we have 19 Fleet Admirals but only 10 Captains.
Bit of a top heavy military structure :D

Maybe some mistakes in registration process so they re-registered, like wrong spelling in password/username, and some bots?

Bad for the underlings, two admirals on one captain means no breaking of the prime directive every other episode! ;)
Yeah, I might have to work up a new rank or two at the top end! As far as members who never post, that happens a lot on many forums. For a time I was clearing out the older, non-posting members but I haven't done that in quite awhile.

Perhaps some of the higher ranks would like to start from scratch again?...Nah, I didn't think so.
Hmmm....Maybe Sith Lord...there can only be 2 of them at one time..
Or better yet - a ranking system based on Mirror Mirror Trek! :)
At least we haven't gotten a spammer for quite awhile!
*knocks on wood*

I used to do that on another forum I'm Admin on but it gets boring after a while. As for the top end ranks, surely that would have been a job for an unemployed chemist with a website business to tackle ;)

Oh you just haven't seen any.. we do our job very well ;)
I just realized I've got 500 posts, guess that means I'm a newly appointed Admiral. Well here's my 501.
Lets go real old school with a title for Rico...
Oberster Kriegsherr - the Supreme Warlord (let's steal a title from the Kaiser) ;)
