Koby Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Okay Simple Machine Forums is a bit weird... Anyhow I setup the Post count Member Groups; Otherwise known as Rank Titles on Invision Power Board.Here are the ones in order that you will advance through.Name Stars Required postsNewbie * 0 Jr. Crusader ** 20 Amateur Crusader *** 60 Average Crusader **** 150 Advanced Crusader ***** 280 Expert Crusader ****** 440 Pro Crusader ******* 560 Chaotic Crusader ******** 830 Xtreme Crusader ********* 1060 Phreak Crusader ********** 1200 Millenia Crusader *********** 1600 Eternal Frenzy ************ 3000The stars are the amount of pips in that rank.. The Star Pips look ugly IMO.. xDI'm going to have to make our own skin though cause most of the SMF skins look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentsLucrecia Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I actually kind of like the stars. But that's how I feel, meh.I have a feeling I'll be hitting that Xtreme Crusader line in about 2 months...or 3...depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† shinji Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 lol. what im curious about is why it doesnt' go up on regular intervals like 100's ... kidna looks weird/ lolanywho ... 1060 posts in 2-3 months?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted December 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Thats just how I always did it. Because as you advance, it's meant to start taking longer to advance to the next one. Same with experience points in RPG's. The higher level, the longer or more experience (in this case posts) it takes to advance (level up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Koga Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 I think the method you're using is good. I see nothing wrong with it. I don't like the stars to much myself, but I can tolerate looking at it, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 The word Crusader came from Final Fantasy X.. and I've used it for most of the old FM's too. Kind of fits the theme, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riku Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Your member group rank is fine by me even thou I do question still some with how many post you need to reach some of them. But it does make sense with you saying just making it like getting experience points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linoud Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I dont mind the stars but, I'd rather a pip instead. XDWhoa, it'll take me a little while to get 500 posts I think. o_o; I didnt post too much on the old board but, this time around should be different.

-PHXN- New001 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 You can make ur own pips rather easily, I just dont kow what it wouldbe... Maybe a chocobo or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentsLucrecia Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 1,060 posts will be tough, but I'm pretty sure I can reach it in a bit. Though, with my grades in school dramatically going down, I might not be able to hit that milestone in 2-3 months. >_<Anyways, I think the Crusader theme fits this perfectly.

† Emotional Outlet Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 When/if you make your own pips, I'd love to see something symmetrical, simple, and unobtrusive. Little chocobos, while having the potential to be adorable, just seems too busy for something like that. The little side panel, while a nice little collection of information, I use mostly to see people's avatars--I tend to associate people by their avatars and signatures. Pips that are too busy or too complicated in design will distract me. I take it there can only be twelve pips living on the side panel, because for sure some people are going to break three thousand.

Pandemonia Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Lol, I still remember when there were only about 10 people who had over about 1,000 or 2,000 posts. It was funny somehow. WE PWNED ALL OF TEH PPL WHO HAD LESS DEN USH!!11I'll try to beat my last postcount, which I think was about 4,000 in a year. I doubt it, though, since high school has been riding my @$$ for a while.

Duelist Dx Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Well if I actually try I can hit 1000 in a month or 2. Once I had 176 posts on a day at .co.nr forums. Depends if I'm just posting or also working on something else ( like I actually do last time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Why would anyone "try" to make an amount of posts. If you have nothing constructive to say, don't say it just to boost your post count because you want to reach a "goal". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mujklob Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Why would anyone "try" to make an amount of posts.Because, obviously the amount of posts somebody has is completely synonymous of how cool they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
