I think if anyone reaches L19 they need to get out of the house.

ALso, L18 and L19 overlap.... so do 13 and 14... 14 and 15... 15 and 16.

I would stop after L7. If you have too many titles, it's losing its value.

Nope, we definatly need ranks after that, however, I feel that the ranks should be normalised slightly, for example: I have one of the highest post counts and I doubt be passing L8 any time this centuary.

I look forwards to becoming a supreme member :thumbup1:

Edit: Just realised I'm already on L6 and well on my way to L7, its L10 where the gaps become rather large, but thats alright I guess

The point isn't to make them all necessarily obtainable, at least right now. What we do want is a title for if and when someone gets there.

Reason the gaps start getting large is because if your rank title changed every 50 posts it wouldn't be as rewarding.

The supreme rank should be "Bob the Builder" :D

:S you've got too much time on your hands to be working stuff like that out. thats 4 years, almost exactly! thats almost long enough for valve to make TF3 - or put another way, I'll be 20! (I'm 16 now)

Edit: how did you work this out? I got 1670 days... which is nearly a whole year extra

you avg 7 posts a day.

currently there you had around 640 posts.

11000 - 640 = 10360

10360 /7 = 1480

Yaa. it didnt turn out the way i wanted.

I like the title's so they will stay the say. same as the post requirements.

What i don't like is the "L#: Title" I feel the L# is out of place.

I'm sure in time I'll change it to a graphic and work it in, however i really dont want to clutter and overuse the graphics as the site skin is a great, simple, clean skin. With that no matter how quality the graphics you use it will still clutter it up, so i gotta hti the board with this again =/

Till then this is it currently =)

Some titles seem backwards, like respected expert being less than resident expert. and guru should top them both.

Expert member should be top of the list. Because higher ranks sound lower to me!

Well I think my original point that the highest few are too high holds true, I'm going at a terrible rate of 7.27 posts per day and thats going to take me nearly 4 years to reach the top level.... will we still be playing TF2 by then? even if TF2 is still going strong I highly doubt that me and my intensive mapping will be which means I'll probably stop short of highest by several thousand.
I don't to sound arrogant or anything but if I'm not going to be able to reach anywhere near the highest level, no one is.
