    I think it would be a good idea but dont make respected chatter 500! Ive taken over a year getting this far lol. Ive seen in some forums the rankings are to do with the thing. So like newbie could be drum stick and it goes up into like drums and cymbals and stuff for posts. Im not really bothered, just throwing another idea out there!

    This is just an idea, please post in what your thoughts are and mine is only an example that I have seen other places. The one DC has, is also used elsewhere. Who knows, maybe DC will change it.

    The rank structure I have seen something like this:

    Private 0-100
    SGT 100-200
    2LT 200-500
    1LT 500-1000
    CPT 1000-1500
    MAJ 1500-2000
    LTC 2000-2500
    COL 2500-3000
    BG 3000-3500
    MG 3500-4000
    LTG 4000-4500
    Gen 4500-5000

    Anything beyond 5000 I have not seen a ranking for so you could make it interesting such as:

    Trusted DC Memeber 5000-6000
    DC Ambassador Level I 6000-7000
    DC Ambassador Level II 7000 - 8000
    DC Ambassador Level III 8000-9000
    CD ambassador Level IV 9000-10000
    DC Grand Master 10000 plus

    I am sure there are other ways to do it.

    Jim, in the end, isn't playing for our own amusement really the ultimate reason to play. You've just gotta love it (I believe that would be your line)!

    so i was scanning through the members list today (that's how bored i got) and it looks to me like the ranking system has been changed a couple times. i saw someone with well over 1000 posts that was still considered a senior member, and other stuff that confused me a little. im guessing that the "top dog" thing is relatively new??

    Not sure but once you get passed 1,000 there is nothing else. We asked for a possible update but I think the Mods and Owners are looking into it. Not a big deal, just thought it would be neat to reward those who are at 3K, 5K and 10K plus. I think PB a Mod has something like 11.5K posts WoW!

    How about after Top Dog, you get made Super Top Dog. Then Super Duper Top Dog. And then Super Awesome Top Dog. Then maybe Super Ultimate Supreme Number 1 Fantastic Ninja Top Dog. Yea, I think that would be cool.

    You're right DD, it really wasn't all that long ago that the rankings were changed. The administration likes the idea of updating the rankings, though, and it is currently in their hands. Keep in mind that they have been very busy processing the registrations of all our recent new members, along with making software upgrades for the site, and many things that most people will never know about. I'm sure they'll get to it as quickly as they can. They're good people, and I have great respect for the work that they do to keep this site a great place to come.
