Forum Rank Changes

[Stairc -Dan Felder]

Hey folks, I finally got around to changing the forum ranks to *something* other than an assortment of ponies. The current list isn't permanent, I want to get your feedback and change it all up (did it in a few minutes) but after going through the thread again it seemed like it'd be hard to unite all these separate ideas - so I wrote up a core for us all to comment on. That way we can tweak and change one core list rather than discuss a bunch of separate lists. And when I say 'tweak', I mean, 'completely change however everyone likes'.

Also, I want to figure out a good way to grant out custom ranks. Perhaps some contests or similar.

Anyway, these are the current ideas - drawn from the posts here when I could. Didn't use the mane 6 - because trying to rank them would definitely ruffle a few feathers.

Definitely going to want to add more ranks too for higher post counts. Just wanted to get a core list concept up quick so we could get working on this.

I personally don't mind the new ranks, mostly just don't really care about such things as a whole, but I do like them more than the old ones at least.

Might want to swap Celestia's Disciple and Element of Harmony. Also, maybe just have it be Alicorn for the top one?

As for custom ranks, contests would be good but, maybe not as the only way. Maybe grant those out to those who have significantly helped out with the system (boy that's not a self-serving suggestion at all) or those who have been members of the forum for a year or such other things?

Edit: lol, and the first two posters are the only ones who even apply for the top rank.

I personally object to, at any point, being Celestia's disciple... unless going from that to princess means sometime in those 500 posts I overthrew her... you know what? Carry on.

Still no custom ranks, too bad.
