The advantage is is that you can 'borrow' movies for long amounts of time without him remembering that you borrowed them.

The disadvantage is the pizza cheese grime on the DVDs

Funny ranks, just don't expect them to get instituted. Most folks here despise even having *optional* avatars (as in you can turn them off), so this will never fly before hell freezes over.

Oh, and I'm a total addict. Very fitting.

Edit: Make that a total addict creator. (I'm assuming you mean levels as in JK levels and maps and stuff? Didn't notice that earlier).

Souls are gone before the first post and I resent the 10000 post rank as I have a life to go with my 10000 posts

By the looks of things, I'm just a regular Member. But what's my level, I wonder... 20? Maybe 30?

One serious problem Avenger already touched on. Massassi takes your soul with the first post.

Yeah, how's this for odd? My parents haven't been the least bit interested in my love-life my entire life, and now that prom is soon my Dad all of a sudden seems concerned that if I don't find a date and go it will mean I'm a social failure.
I don't get it... I accepted that fact a long time ago, why is he just now realizing it?

so GBK is only owned by Massassi?

So I'm not a real massassian just because I don't have 1,000 posts yet? *sigh* All this time I thought I had acomplished SOMETHING in my life...

There are several (4? 5?) people with 10,000+ posts.

[20:00] Happy "Liar liar" dud: I'm sitting here infront of my two computers wearing shorts and with no shirt, eating potato salad and orange juice, debating the existance of pants.

I really should have a higher post count since I have been here for quite a long time, but lately I haven't been posting that many times.

1-100 posts 'n00b'
100 - 500 'Normal member'
500 - 1000 'Member High Class'
1000+ 'Life not detected'

That's my idea

It takes more than 10 posts to become addicted. This is massassi, not cocaine.

Except the majority of people who have over a thousand posts spend a far lower proportion of their time posting on Massassi. In otherwords, post counts are meaningless. A monthly (because habits change over time) post rate would be far more informative.

He makes a good point.

Still, I like Monoxide's better because it makes me 'high class'

Your ranking system is flawed. I rank as "Long Time Member", but I've only been a member for a little over a year.

These forums only allow a total of two ranks based on post counts. So even if we wanted to implement an in-depth ranking system, we wouldnt be able to as long as we continued to use these forums.

I personally like massassi's blandness. It gives it character . Its behind the times and still popular.

I'm a "knows-the-place massassian" for post count.
"creator+-------" for levels/mods. Many things I have worked on haven't been submitted (nor are many finished ). A lot of them suck anyway.

Meh, I think no ranks is good....even admins/mods shouldn't have that as a rank. That way it's always a surprise who bans you!

I always thought it would be kinda cool if a title was bestowed on Massassians for going above and beyond the call of a forum regular. Something like "hero" or "legend" maybe.
