okay well you can check somewhere
Alex has not released all the stages of user ranks, although he has stated that there are different ones up to 10,000 posts. Guys, please do not get all flustered about user ranks and posts. The number of posts comes secondary to the quality of each post in the forum. Yes it is cool to have a higher rank than everyone else, but no one really cares unless you are an asset to the community.
Remember, this is a forum, not twitter... your are allowed to use more than 140 characters
