JR2000Z Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 Should we change the rankings for his forum specificly?
Admiral Odin Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 yes the GB ranks don't make sense. (anyone over 1k in post is supposed to have custom ranks) anyways this is the GB ranking system: Bantha Fodder (Minimum Posts: 0) Pit Droid (Minimum Posts: 50) Sith Probe Droid (Minimum Posts: 100) Battle Droid (Minimum Posts: 150) Ewok (Minimum Posts: 200) Tusken Raider (Minimum Posts: 250) Wampa (Minimum Posts: 300) Jawa (Minimum Posts: 350) Gungan (Minimum Posts: 400) Bantha (Minimum Posts: 450) Wookiee (Minimum Posts: 500) Noghri (Minimum Posts: 550) Rancor (Minimum Posts: 600) Stormtrooper (Minimum Posts: 650) Sith (Minimum Posts: 700) Sith Lord (Minimum Posts: 750) Jedi (Minimum Posts: 800) Jedi Master (Minimum Posts: 900)
Guest George the Armadillo Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 i think they sabotaged me and gunner because we were winning by a huge margin when there was that popularity contest thread here like more than a year ago.
GUNNER Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 Well I'm all fixed up now but yes you are right about the popularity contest Nute.
Ikhnaton Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 it will probably be fixed sometime very soon, as will the custom titles.
Wraith 5 Posted December 4, 2001 Posted December 4, 2001 are you asking if the ranks that were here before the merger should be changed or the ranks that you got from gb?
JR2000Z Posted December 4, 2001 Author Posted December 4, 2001 i'm asking if the ranks from right now should be changed for the whole XWA.net forums.
Admiral Odin Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 can we even change the ranks just for xwa.net.
Metallus Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 All the forums started out with the GB.com rank titles, even the adventure boards (people were pretty mad about that). The LF.com admins just haven't gotten around to change the titles for every board yet. Does this help at all? I imagine you'll be getting your own ranking system soon. Also, the custom title policy is different for every board, and the rules have to be set by the admins first.
Taarkin Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Everyone knows that it's your postcount that matters, not your rank!
Metallus Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 If all the LucasArts forums that I've ever posted at were here, I'd have, oh about...a lot less posts than the regulars here .
Rogue Nine Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 In my history with online message boards, I've always been deuce in post counts. Weird. Here at XWA, over at Gundam Forum (defunct, as JR and Taark will attest) and at my friend's board.
Nute Gunray Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 I'm suprised I'm #1. I've noticed numerous people have average posts per day that exceed me by like 3 times, so someone will catch me with time.
Rogue9 Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 of course my lower post count user replaced both of my higher ones...my access to the provo section at rsn got removed and my name got pulled form the mod list on the passcode section....not to mention I've been told its fixed like 3 times now and its not.
GUNNER Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Dude, there are people posting at a rate of over 35 a day and more. I wouldn't be suprised if some of these people are not passing some of their classes. I'm going to have to post 50+ a day just to keep ahead.
Rogue9 Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 GUNNER your an admin...might you be able to help me with my problems...the ones pertaining the the messege board anyway.
Metallus Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Heh, The only reason their averages are up is because they registered very recently. My average is down to about 4.5 or something per day, because my account is from August when I joined the Escapemi.com boards to complain about something, and I didn't post for about 2 months afterwards. I didn't become a regular there until Mixnmojo.com crashed and my regular boards went with it, so my average took a hit from that. Since LF.com started this week, I'd say I'm at a brisk 25-50 posts a day, however.
GUNNER Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 I have seen guys who have been on the boards for 6 months and have 3000 posts. I'm like dang... I slowed down for awhile since no one is usually on while i am but now that it's one big unit there is always someone to talk to so I'm sure I will be around more. How are ya Metallus?
Gold leader Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 I feel for you, G. Not much I can do about it either. Since our main lecture room is being refurbished, and my lectures are moved to other buildings, my net acces is severely limited. My average number of post per day seems into a free fall.
edlib Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 On the other hand... How many of those people with huge post-per-day averages are really posting anything worth reading? I'm sure a huge chunk of thier daily output has to be pure spam or worse. Personally,.. I've always tried to go for quality, not quantity in posting... post-counts be damnned!
GUNNER Posted December 7, 2001 Posted December 7, 2001 Your absolutly right ed. I have seen peeps post and 2 minutes later post again instead of just editing the previous post. Most look like this.... Do you play xxxxxx? 2 minutes later, new post...... How about this game xxxxxx... If there are 4 posts in between maybe, but when there are no posts in between where someone might miss something I can see but come on, why post again just to add two words. Lamers.
