Um, my rank says I am a Specialist, but my post cound dropped to 74-75, I'm sure I had more posts than this? Is it because the A Company forums was deleted?


Don't worry. At least you didn't drop 1000 posts, or end up with 23 like GreenLead. :)


*Blushes and hides under desk*

1070 to 23 is sure a long drop. I'm sure I've made at least that number of posts in the Minigun thread alone. But as Will said, it's just forums synchronisation - hopefully I'll get my post count back :)

But hey, these ranks sure make members feel valued! Instead of the fuddly-duddly "User", "Power User" etc. we've got military-esque ranks. Schweet.

Honestly folks, post count is not something to worry about. Yes, it's shame those threads had to go and with them some many quality posts, but you distinguish yourself as a member in good standing by the quality, not quantity of your posts. Just because someone like GreenLead doesn't have a very high post count anymore doesn't mean he's not a valued member of these forums. The same goes for everyone who lost a lot of posts with the removal of the A Company forums.

Just keep posting, and the numbers will take care of themselves!

Please pay attention SAS, and reread Damien's post. He's not a man to trifle with, and if you can't keep up, you'll feel his wrath. ;)

the 'alpha company comander 'is from the alpha company forums, there used to be a section of forums with that name on here, now they moved. the only way to get a new cool name is just to put out awesome post like new MOC's or awesome figs and such. you can no longer get 'cool names'

A word on the new BrickArms Forums Ranks:

Instead of just "member" or "advanced member", I've begun adding new ranks.

0 posts = Private
10 posts = Member
30 posts = Advanced Member
200 posts = Specialist
500 posts = Elite Commando
1,000,000 posts = Über General

Have fun, and please make sure your posts contain something interesting. Don't post "cool MOC", just to get your ranking boosted. The Moderators and I sweep the forums and we will occasionally remove these "empty" posts. ;)

It's something made up for the forums (but I guess it's possible that they use it in the german militia..)

That's what I thought...thanks for clearing it up for me. I really like these ranks though..it would be cool to be any Uber General..but I don't think anyone's going to get there...:) -Brick Fanatic

Well, if I keep at my current posting rate, I'll probably average about 2,000 posts a year. This means I'll reach uber general in a mere 500 years! . . . . I think I'll stick with being Official Spokesman and leave the leadership up to Will ;)

I will beat you it will only take 365 years(I know that it looks like 365 days but it turns out it is years!) mwuah-ha-ha!
