Well, after our transfer to MSv3, we've all lost our forum rankings. I was just wondering, if there is a chance that they will ever be back? I know that Ivan briefly said that the forum rankings were a bit useless, and I'll admit that they were, being non-staff titles and everything, but I think that the forum rankings added some character to the forums. All the skulls were cool and you could see just at a glance the 'rank' of each member. They were just generally an interesting feature to have in the forum. Plus, they were especially useful for staff members, as they have an actual position here, and you could see that. Over the time I've been here, I basically know (or know of) the Staff/Mods, etc but not everyone does. So what does everyone think? Should we have them back?

It was a sort of 'title' given to you according to your number of posts.

You started as a 'Newbie', when you reached 666 you became a 'Beastmaster' etc. Until you could choose your own Custom Title when you reached 1000.

(I can't remember all of those rankings though, those two are the only ones I remember)

@Nervel: It went like this...

0-49 - Newbie
50-99 - Unforumed
100-249 - Slightly Forumed
250-665 - Apprentice
666-999 - Beastmaster
1000-1999 - Forum Expert
2000-2999 - Forum Master
3000-3999 - Forum God
4000+ - Forum Freak!

I think that was it.

I am, actually

Why did the little skulls with silly faces disappeared?? I mean, I know they accompained the rakings, but there was no need to remove them.

Because the staff thought they looked silly. I think they wanted to remove almost everything that encouraged spamming in one way or another.

Well, the staff is right in that way. Rankings always encourage people to spam only to be noticed.
