Title: Ranks?
Post by: kgm_1004 on July 05, 2010, 07:59:26 AM
Newbie here. I just would like to know how does the rank system work here. What would I be promoted to (currently MS-DOS)

It's determined by post count.

DOS/V is the starting rank, with MS-DOS @ 15 posts, followed by:

Windows 3.1 @ 30
Windows CE @ 60
Windows 95 @ 100
Windows 98 @ 150
Windows NT @ 200
Windows ME @ 300
Windows 2000 @ 400
Mac OS 9 @ 500
Linspire @ 600
Windows XP @ 700
Mac OSX @ 800
Vista @ 900
GNU/Linux @ 1000
OS-tan Master @ 1500

OpenVMS: OVER 9000~! >O<;;

Still can't believe Vista outranks OSX though. D:

Someday, god willing, I'll progress on to TRSDOS.  Right now I might as well be a proud Vista.

Don't worry! You're only two posts away from the next rank!

Agreeing with you Bella, I just noticed that Vista is in higher rank than Mac OS X  ;015
i Personally think OS X is MUCH better than Vista.

It's because OSX came out 5 years before Vista.

Since linux is always changing, there is no definitive all inclusive release.

mm, that's why linspire is where it is.

kinda sad that there's no win7 rank. it wasn't out at the time, but still. :[

*wishes for custom label*

Don't do it, all you'll get is Aurora doing a lottery with "Minion" ranks on all cards.

Hey! How did you know my plan?!
Title: Ranks?
Post by: Bella on July 11, 2010, 05:53:50 PM
NO, BE MERICFUL KAMI-AURORAAAAA~

Hmm, how does a person apply for a custom rank? I don't even know how mine showed up, it just sorta did one day. xD
Title: Ranks?
Post by: Aurora Borealis on July 11, 2010, 06:04:18 PM
Sometimes people just earn their custom rank like that apparently.
Title: Ranks?
Post by: NejinOniwa on July 11, 2010, 06:13:34 PM
Because Aurora's bored and has too much spare time.

And the law of custom ranking goes just like that; the less you ask for it, the likelier is it to come around.


Then again, Aurora certainly DID ask for that title of hers, in a way... wwwwwwwww
Title: Ranks?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on July 12, 2010, 03:48:39 PM
i heard it has to be granted by a higher-up somehow.

hmm, the only ranks i could think of were
"minion" (thanks nej, i guess....)
"Resident Anime Girl" (i've been told i fit the mold of "moe" .___.; )
"OS-tan Riddle Master (but that's kinda lame, the thread isn't even active anymore cause my riddles were too hard. :\ )


......please don't use that last one. it's so powerfully LAAAAAME.(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i98/Chocofreak13/seriusfase.jpg)

Post by: NejinOniwa on July 12, 2010, 06:02:04 PM
Minion IS the more fitting of those, I daresay. As well as the least llama  one... -w-

NOT SO FAST, MINION.

Then again, I could just make Aurora a l2-minion and delegate...

Suppose my schedule is clear for minnioning at the moment, though I'd prefer the title "Mad Lab Assistant"

srsly. needs moar custom ranks. ;____;

Is there a more official location describing all the Ranks on this site? I can't seem to find anything.
Title: Ranks?
Post by: stewartsage on August 11, 2010, 06:53:11 PM
Nope, this is the most official chart you'll find (back on the previous page)
Title: Ranks?
Post by: Lt. Surge on August 11, 2010, 07:05:42 PM
I know it's not very important, but seeing as it's a part of member status I thought it would be a bit easier-accessible.
Title: Ranks?
Post by: stewartsage on August 11, 2010, 07:30:13 PM
*shrug* Nobody'd asked before as far as I know.  Guess it never really occurred to put it up somewhere official.

Though asking me for the official word is unwise, I'm sure Aurora-hime would be able to better explain.

At the rate I'm going it'll probably take me another 252 more days till I even reach the rank of Windows ME........

Ranks are stupid anyway...... >_> *Flees*

lol. ^^ we don't really care terribly much about the ranks here, they just make it interesting. i figure as long as you have something good to say that's all that's really important.


*still wishes for a custom rank, ever since i got here*

I LAUGH AT YOU ALL FROM THE TREMENDOUZE HEIGHT OF MY CUSTOMRANK-THRONE! EAT UN FISH! [/french]


Well, good things come to those who bring good things, so to speak...
And I'd say that seeing as the chart is by Aurora, it's quite official indeed. It is recommendable, as I see it, to sticky it or put it in the rules/info thread, or whatever. Making a general info sticky would perhaps work for this?
