Re: Ranks
I’m aiming for that Ben rank (I won’t be spamming. Don’t worry). The adventure starts now:)
Have a nice day!

Re: Ranks
I have been quite active since the 23rd of April. In these past 4 days. I have posted a total of 80 posts, which is quite a lot (This is while not including my 3 posts in the spam forums). This means that I post on average 20 posts per day. Now, let's say that I keep on posting 80 posts in the span of 4 days from now on, I will have the Ben rank in 500 days from now on. That will probably not happen, but if I keep on being active on this website in the next 2 years, I will probably get the Ben rank if I post at least between 10 - 20 times per day. I fun little detail that could be a fun side quest LOL.
Have a nice day!

Re: Ranks
That is quite the task! The reason the ranks go up so high is because we kept everyones post count from the old forum which was yeeeaaaars old, which is why a lot of people already have high ranks already. The veteran ben rank was originally a gift to Tora who was the first to reach it on the old board, but she has the Tesshin rank now.Silver_Alchemist wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 6:29 pm I have been quite active since the 23rd of April.

Re: Ranks
I thought that you kept the posts from people who joined waaayyy back. It looked like they had quite the amount of posts. 1000 is already pretty crazy. But still, this little side quest is pretty cool:) I have 124 posts right now, and I would love to get the Ben rank. It would be pretty cool.Arano wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 9:53 amThat is quite the task!

Re: Ranks
Hey Arano, I have a suggestion ^^ It's just an idea and I'm not sure how hard or easy this would be to achieve, but I still wanna bring it up:
What if after we reach new ranks, we can go into our account settings and pick a character we'd like to rep ourselves?
It's nostalgic to be able to get to that next level character, but I know when I pass Izou, I'll miss his cute face and I'm sure some can relate.
It's not serious or anything, just an idea X'D

Re: Ranks
As satisfying as it is to move up through the ranks and enjoy Kasi's beautiful colouring job on each of the badges, I have to admit that I do kind of want to be just a little bit selfish by keeping my boy's Sirius rank.Dragon wrote: ↑Sun May 03, 2020 2:20 am What if after we reach new ranks, we can go into our account settings and pick a character we'd like to rep ourselves?

Re: Ranks
It's not possible to pick the rank I'm afraid, the whole mechanic is based on post count!Dragon wrote: ↑Sun May 03, 2020 2:20 am Hey Arano, I have a suggestion ^^ It's just an idea and I'm not sure how hard or easy this would be to achieve, but I still wanna bring it up:

Re: Ranks
I noticed a little funny thing about the ranks.
There is only 2 ranks that have a character from GNG. Gin (as a pup) and Ben. The thing is, that Gin is the very first badge you get, and Ben is the very last one. And Gin is a pup, while Ben is a fully grown adult who has lived a LIFE! A little funny thing I just noticed:)

We can call it a theory:) You know what, it's probably just a part of the lore behind Ginga and GingaBoard! What is the secret?Raki wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 7:11 pmThat's a good theorySilver_Alchemist wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 5:46 pm I noticed a little funny thing about the ranks.

Don't take it seriously:)
On the previous iteration of GB, popular GNG characters were reserved for admin/mod/special ranks, and regular ranks were GDW characters (topic of old ranks here). The same is still true, except with the huge rank expansion to cover more post milestones (by popular demand) we included GDW:O characters as well.
We just thought it would be fitting for everyone to start off as a baby Gin
Ben is the true popular veteran character of the series so the top post rank we made for Tora reaching it could be no-one else
I think the fact the ranks begin and end on GNG characters wasn't entirely planned... it just ended up that way!
