    Could we get a sports related post count ranking?

    It could be like
    tee-baller
    little league
    major leaguer
    all star
    hall of famer
    legend

    you know anything like that would be cool

    ooh that ya thats an option i could setup in the forum software, i dunno don't really like the idea.

    I thought you wanted to be able to tell how many posts a user did in each forum.

    It's right in your phpbb admin panel at the bottom. It should be a thing called rankings.

    What happens is this... when a user gets say 25 posts he gets one star. When he gets 50 posts he gets two stars. When he gets 100 he gets 3. In the admin panel you decide how many posts to gain a rank.

    You can get the rank images at www.phpbbhacks.com. I'm guessing this board is run off phpbb although the copyright is taken off. Why did you take the thing off the bottom? It looks phpbb to me.. :?

    Many forums do this.. you can see an example over at XBLL or teamxbox or xbox addict i think. A lot of forums have them.

    I like the sports related theme, maybe we could keep it general though where it would apply to any team sport (ie. little league, tball, minor leaguer refer primarily to baseball):


    Hall of Fame 2000+
    All Star 1000-1999
    Starter 500-999
    Rookie 200-499
    Amateur 0-199

    of course if u did end up doing this it might be wise to give the first ranking at 100 (seeing as how most people here are in the 200-400 range already :)) and then have it something like
    100 1st rank
    500 2nd rank
    750 3rd rank
    1000 4th rank
    1500 5th rank
    2000 6th rank

    etc

    3000 is hella posts. :shock: We won't see that until XBox2. :D

    Although, some of you forum spammers might reach that 3000 mark before the end of this year. :twisted:

    Cheesy? yes.

    Encourages spam and 1 post comments? yes

    Used on 99% of forums? yes

    More clutter to look at? yes

    It's your forum, and your call. I'm just throwing out ideas whether I like them or not.
