Hi dear friends from the other side of the board. As you know first hand, mods and admins have a little titles above their avatar. Wouldn't that be fun for us, little people to be able to choose a title, or a group name, or whatever, to define ourself with respect to the community here. In Sl the Cassie's Watcher tag was a nice touch. Here in the forum, we could have a group name, an affiliation to others we share stuff with. A lot of people have a lot of fun together, and little groups emerged. We could have "Bree's followers" or "Daniel followers", for instance, and why not "Cabbage Head followers" and "Iguana freaks"

Just asking....

Like custom user titles? I've thought that would be awesome as well.

edit: But yeah, user titles would be great!

edit2: I want mine to be "Dark Lord of IT"

nooooo our group name shud be "the swindlers"

These forums do not support groups quite that way. However, I was planning on implementing a ranking system based on how many posts a users has. I am looking for suggestions as to the name of each level, plus at what post limit each level would be activated.

Oh, nice. Perhaps the lowest level could just be named "lonely". Get it? Cause they don't post a lot, so they're just lonely?

Fine, whatever.

Ok, then we have to find names related to the LG15 universe, I guess.

The highest rank has to be Purple Monkeys!!!!

I could do this individually as the administrator, but users would be unable to do it themselves. I would much rather setup a ranking system.

Either would be great! Unless you want to systematically and repeatedly assign original titles to each and every user on the board.

Y'know, you're not busy or anything.

Twj how do you have such a good house, u never seem to go to work or anything ..... how do u do it?!!?!?!?!?!?

When I was running phpBB myself, I thought I saw a mod for it that would allow users to do just that. I'd have to dig through archives of data on my server's old drive to be sure, though...

edit: then, of course, there's issues with versions and stuff like that. Best just to enable ranking

Obviously, when you are the best poster (the one and only user with the highest number of posts) you have to be "Aleister Crowley".

I have a very flexible schedule and I work only three blocks from home, so I can easily pop home for a quick filming. I'm also rarely far from a computer.
