What happened to our post counts? they are not in our public profile anymore, did someone deleted them?
And why do we users never get a rank? there is no "senior member" rank.

I think WZ took the post counts away. I dont mind them not being here when we post. But I miss them in our profile. Not that I care about rank.
the ranks are still there, but when you change your Title you auto change the rank. I guess I'll go back and mess around with that to make you guys happy later.
Bah. Stratifying members leads to clique mentality.
That's okay, they won't know why they are stratified.
i thought we're here to make members suffer?
O_O
No, that's my job. I have the tools (shows screwdrivers, Arlong-design branding iron, and 4kids dub episodes)
We are all equal!
Some are more equal than the others. grin
Just noticed that the titles where updated. So know every member now has a title and a rank. Now to the confusing part.
I´m a shipmate and my rank is nakama. But then there´s also people who have the rank shipmate. It confuses me a bit.
as long as i'm suffering, any rank will be ok XD
i'm beginning to feel sad when i can't add some stupid sentence to pass by the 20 chars rule.

I think Nakama is the new Shipmate and Shipmate is the new Stowaway rank. I have yet to see the rank of "Stowaway" being used, so I assume they got rid of it… but I could be wrong.
My title was Shipmate too, but thats because it was my old default title before the update.
I hope I made sense there, Ivotas. :wacko:
Ivotas, I think it's probably because you never changed your shipmate title into a custom title.
Well what the both of you say makes sense. Thanks, that clears it up.
I´m probably the only one who never changed his title. Gotta keep it that way. :evil:

Darn it, I thought I was moving on up in the world. I might not have gone forward but at least I haven't gone backwards - 'random piece of flotsom' is so unappealing.
So what ones are there alltogether?
Shipmate[members]:I cant believe im a shipmate, ive been here a long time and still im considered a shipmate (no offense to other shipmates) but from king of posts to shipmate :glare:
nakamas:senior members
vice admiral: mods
admiral: admins
Sigh, why do people keep getting mixed up with post ranks and ranks?
The reason why your king of post is cause of post ranks but if you wanna be a nakama(i think i'm still am XD), pay the mods money or when the mods find u sexy ^_^
How disappointing, many posts dating from Feb, 2005 are gone
i don't mind not having post counts because then you might get people who just post and post just to get to a certain level. i would rather have someone post one meaningful post rather than 100 unnessesary posts, but hey that is just on lurkers opinion.
I've never given two chuffs about post count so yeah…
If you come to forums just for post counts, I have nothing much to say.
I used to always come to forums for nothing but post count (I was the member with the highest post count on the FUNimation forum back when it was a phpbb forum I had over 5,000+ posts and no Im not bragging and no I didn't spam) but now I don't give a damn about post counts.
I think the newest members have a rank of stoaway and those who have been active for at least a day or week become shipmate? Just a guess
adds to post count Wait, what?
Hm, but so long as we have the customizable title, I'm good. Well, not good, but content.
Having no post counts has a lot of benefits, for one you avoid people spamming for the sake of incrementing their post count. Then you avoid elitism based on post count, and also the opposite of members labelling you a spammer because you have a particularly high post count.
Although it may put some members off, overall it's a good idea.
Not to mention, you don't have to look at your post count and think "holy crap, I'm here way too much, do I have a life?"
My Post Counts was my pride.. now I'll never know how many posts I've made
cries

Exactly! I remember the last time I´ve seen my post count before it was gone I totally had this feeling you describe. Ever since it is gone I keep telling myself "nah, you didn´t post that much ever since, just a couple of posts more that´s all". Of course I know that´s not the case but at least it´s not written down anywhere.
It made me wonder and I went to look up my post count. 2100.
CosmicDebris: 4242
Tony Tony Chopper: 1287
Ivotas: 3857
TTC, you're still young :P
Holy shit!! I´m close to 4000 posts?!? Thanks for ruining my illusion ocean. Now I really know I´m spending too much time here. XD
Crap that's alot of posts. o__O
I heard you get a prize when you reach 9999. Something magical
Did I break 1000 yet? I thought I had like 800 when they turned it off, but it coulda been 400 or 300.

One Piece?
Or. . .Maybe "The Pirate King" rank. :ohmy:
most likely a rank. What else could you get as a prize?
Ya get to choose three items in the forum, to be converted to into a real-life object.

You get a little diploma reading "I SPEND WAY TOO MUCH TIME AT ARLONG PARK!"
Honestly, you get nothing for reaching that number of posts.
Should be a tee-shirt that says "Hay am I popular on the internet yet?"
My feelings about post counts is summed up by the following fable:
Once the animals were arguing over who was the greatest. It was decided that the number of offspring each had was a good measure of how great they were. Each bragged about the number they had. "I have two calves!" The cow bragged. The fox challenged her, "I have three kits, so I must be greater than you!" The fox was in turn challenged by the bird, who claimed, "Well, I have five chicks!" The rabbit then challenged them all, "I have twenty children, more than any of you. I must be the greatest!" None of the animals could top that number, and it was agreed that rabbit was the greatest by all except the lioness.
The lioness had not spoken at all, and the angry rabbit challenged her, "If I am not greater than all other animals, how about you? How many children do you have!?" To this the lioness proudly answered , "Only one, but I am still Queen of the Beasts." This angered the rabbit. "How can you claim to be a queen with only one little cub?" The lioness then told her, "True, I don't have nearly as much children as you. But your offspring will grow into little rabbits, while my one cub will grow into a powerful lion." The rabbit then saw the truth in this, and no longer claimed greatness.
The moral of the story : Quantity is not always quality.
Of what use are high post counts when the bulk of those posts are meaningless? Better a small handful of lion posts than a multitude of rabbit posts.
And let's not forget that the lion would eat the damn rabbits.
Wow, I wonder if I'm even past the 1,000 mark.

i wonder how cute can be a rabbit post. it should be something all teethy teethy.

What species is so smart-ass? Cause the above is a smart-ass post.XD
Let's stop posting in here unless you have something new and on topic to discuss.
Bounty1Berry - yes, you have. But I won't say by how much
supaluigi - not even close
This is my first and last time looking up the post count.
Gah! I don't want to see my post count! :ohmy: I do have a life, really, I do!
That's probably the highest I've gotten in a short period of time. There's another messageboard where I have about 9000 posts, but that's accumulating from nearly 5 years and I used to be admin.
Heh, one of the admins on another site I go to (who, awsomely enough, shares the same last name as I do, but we found this out almost by accident) left her old account for a new one. In like one day, she accumulated 500+ posts. We all were like 'WHA?', but she was just messing around because admins can (or they could there) change their post count at will. She even set it to 9999, which is as high as they'll go I figure.
Anyway, I guess I have about 1100 or so posts on this site. It's the highest I've ever had, and that's even including forums where you can spam. Hooray for AP

At a guess, I probably have between 600 and 800 posts; I really doubt that I have more than a thousand.
Now if they measured word count, on the other hand, I'd probably be very high up on the list. The Newbie Guide alone is over 10,000 words (24 pages in Word) and is still a work in progress.
It feels naked to me without post counts. Just because I'm curious about how much I even HAVE. >_> And can't find out.
whats my post rank last time i had just broke 1000 before u guys took it off
I'll just say this.
Post count ? Big fucking deal. Think about something that actually matters, such as how not to piss off whoever can ban you so that you actually CAN post :laugh:
may this be a secret key to us considering you a sexy member of the forums ?!?! just maybe ?!?! :OOoooo~~
