what're the different types of ranks?
ok, i know this isn't specifically a halo topic, more of a message board topic, but i'm just curious... what's the meaning of the different ranks? for instance, a bit ago i had the "britney spears' chauffeur" rank, but now i'm back to "member". i realize after a certain number of posts you get the "addicted to this place" moniker, and i saw Bat had "will divide for food" for a bit, then went back to "addicted". my buddy has "n00b", and that makes sense b/c he's only got 12 posts.
just curious.
Immediately, a large toad leaped into her lap and looked at her as if it wanted to be loved. "Grep," it exclaimed. "Don't mind him," explained the Mad Hacker. He's just looking for some string."

Re: what're the different types of ranks?
hidden ranks, they kick in for a few posts, then kick back out.
for example (this probably isn't true) at 100 posts you would be "goober boy" then at 103 posts you go back to member.
the admins can set up ranks based on the number of posts you have. so once you get so many posts you become member, and more you become addicted, has no life, etc etc. plus the hidden ones.

Re: what're the different types of ranks?
yeah, like the britney spears thing... i'm just curious who knows them. for example, when you hit 1337 posts, you get something like "Ph34r my 1337 N4kid skillz". 
anyone seen any cool ones? i think i hit the britney spears one at 239 or thereabouts, what's the significance of that number?

Shucks, I never even saw the "Will divide for food" moniker. I do remember seeing "Jail is too good for me." That was fun.
Just so I never reach "MS phone support is too good for me"...

yeah, i considered PM'ing you, but figured you'd discover my secret stalker identity, and we can't have that.
seriously, you're one of the people here that always makes me laugh, your sense of humor reminds me a lot of mine. nice to see that computer nerds can still be cool!
... right?
