Fact: This board has tons of ranks, and it can get a tad confusing. Basically, you have your rank name (i.e. Newcomer, Lurker, Ace of Spades, etc.), your progress bar until your next rank, and your rank group.

Your rank group is just a further indication of your dedication. When your rank group increases, the color of your rank name and progress bar changes, and you also gain a gold star under the progress bar.

Rank groups also adhere to certain rank names styles. Below you will find a list of all our ranks as well as the post count requirement for them:

Posts RequiredRank Image
0
1
15
40
75
125
190
250
350
500
750
900
1,111
1,300
1,500
2,000
2,500
3,000
4,000
5,000
7,500
10,000
15,000
?? ?? ???? ?? ??
?? ?? ???? ?? ??


As you can see, the higher your rank, the harder it is to rank up, and the more rewarding the ranking. :)

Below are a couple of brief calculations for you guys to give you an idea of how long it takes to rank up:

# of postsTime RequiredPosts Per Day
1,00060 days17
1,000One year3
100One week14
10,000One year27
100,000Five years55
2,500Six months14

Yah, thanks for the information. i tried doing this by constantly looking at how many posts and what ranks members have, and miserably failed. With that being said, I'm lucky to be ranking up in just a while.

I'm the only Platinum Member on the board.  Next closest is Evan - he'll hit Platinum in 1,180 posts.  But in about a month (1,024 posts), I'll be a Bishop of Aether.  My post average is nearly 17 a day.  And none of these counts include LOLAQ posts!  I've got 500+ over there - I don't know how many exactly since it doesn't appear on one's profile anymore.

Yeah, you're closing in on the next color group!

Nice to have the Stat bars back on the profiles. :) I rank up slowly mainly because I don't post as much and I don't usually like to reply to posts that I cannot really contribute in. :)

@Don - You are like Discourse GOD!

@Alex - For one moment I thought I saw a rank that said Pokemon Master (platinum Member) for some reason. (my eyes are getting bad).

Discourse GOD used to be a rank name, but it implied male sex orientation, which would leave our female member left out. Discourse Deity is all inclusive. :)

Plus, "Discourse God" doesn't have the same ring as "Discourse Deity".

Say, Alex - I hit the post total for "Bishop of Aether" but the rank hasn't updated yet.  How long does that take?  Isn't it supposed to be automatic?  Or is there a glitch?

Where'd you look? Because this thread has always been sticky'd to the top of the page. It's not that hard to find.

I didn't think to look in the off topic section, I don't spend much time in this part, but you're absolutely right, it wasn't hard to find. Peace
