Answer a stupid question to a newbie to the forum-concept. What are the "ranks" that are given to a user? Are they somehow related to the amount of posts a person has posted or what?
They are related to the number of posts. Although I don't know what the name of the rank for all the different posts are, you'll have to get that from someone else.
Here's (

Thanks, that clarified things.:D
Oh, and BTW once I got started on this subject, what are those points? I haven't seen them in other forums. What do I get from donating them?
You buy thing with them like
Make your name Glow a colour
Put a picture in your Sig like this
ect;
Alteratively, you can just hoarde them in mockery of people who'd just love to get their hands on the aforementioned annoying sig images, glowing names that don't work in anything other than Internet Exploder, etc.
You can also use them to "pay" for "privileges" that were once simply a matter of changing your profile.
OK, in other words: a completely useless (but neat) feature used to get a pathetic little hint of originality to one's posts. Neat!
I'll start hoarding...:cool:
