Yay! My prediction is that the UBER GENERAL is just there for fun, and not an actual rank.
Hey look <----- advanced member status.

It kicked me out when I tried to post this before but if you typed at 100wpm for 40 days straight you could get 1,000,000 posts

Well you'd have to do that with someone else who wants to be Uber General. else you get stuck because you can't double post.

It might work but you'd probebly be stopped by a mod for the annoying high amount of posting.

Keep in mind the Uber General rank requires one million posts. Even if someone averaged 100 posts a day, they'd still have to make that many posts for over 27 years before they reached 1,000,000 posts.

And if you do up to 300 post a day?
How long time will it take then?

I believe you Will.
You should watch out for sheriffs.
They aren't someone to mess with.

According to Will, the "burning the late night oiling" drink of choice is Mountain Dew. Me, I don't touch the stuff, just coffee, Agents Cooper-style (black as midnight and hot as the infernal reaches).

I would recommend Coca-Cola too, that is atleast what i use.

And by the way,
What would happen if you would get one? I did pay attention that you normally don't
but if you now by a chance of 1,000,000 (or how many zeros there are in million),
what would happen then?

Nothing, I'd imagine. They are only member titles for fun.

Correct. If Will sees fit to give someone a special ranking - then your ranking won't change with your post count. For instance, Moderators will always be Moderators, A Company Commander will remain A Company Commander, and anything else Will might come up with as special titles for certain members.



Cool! I was hoping that my rank as A Company Commander would stay the same.


How did you get that rank anyways? Did you do something special or what?

Wow, that's a lot of posts, but I'm not sure if it's possible to do that since you have to wait somewhere around a minute to post again.

I like the new ranks. Oh, a question about greenlead. Why is his ranking an elite commando when at the time of this post he only has 183 posts. Shouldn't he still be an advanced member? I agree with some other members Ian has made so much input to brickarms he's probably already a Uber general. You know what's pretty deja vu? My name's Ian too. Weird.

<----- This is my cat. He is a ferocious hunter. If you want to know his name, I'll tell you, but don't blame me if you have to sleep with a nightlight for the rest of your life. His name is...BUBBLES

Well, I'm wondering who'll be the first Uber General, from here it looks like a " race " to the top.

The board sometimes does strange things with post-count when posts are deleted. A few people have negative counts.

Still, like has been said several times now, it's post quality, not quantity, that matters.

Oh! No, no. You misunderstood. I saw that and naturally I wanted to make sure that nothing was wrong, because my post count dropped a while back(I did contact Will)It doesn't really matter to me, but I just thought that someone ought to know.

If you and a friend each posted on one account for 12 hours each at 60 words a minute equals 3 posts a minute, 60 divided by 20 character minimum=180 posts an hour, 4,320 posts a day, it would take 231 days.

Actually, it would take much longer, for you see, we would detect the multiple IP addresses for the single account, and suspend you before the third day of the effort. But, go ahead and try. Badger has the eys of a hawk, and the memory of an elephant.. ;)

I woulden't actually try it, just an idea, I would never betray the forums admins! And I suppose two people could do it from the same computer if they swithched off. Also do you mean if two people are active on the same account on different computers, because I have 3 computers in my house and somtimes I use one or another.

Elephants have incredable memory.
