Does your rank go up by posts?

Does ranks go up by the number of posts you have? I'm not sure if that's how you say it, but mine is Newbe Programmer just for an example. I'm just wondering Razz

And what're all the ranks?

Yup.

And admins sometimes change peoples ranks, according to their own will.

There's a wiki somewhere on the ranks I think

Thanks Smile
I didn't know there'd be a wiki for compsci xD

The wiki is currently offline due to DNS rerouting we've been doing, but should be back soon.

The ranks essentially go up in powers-of-2 increments of your post counts. Off Topic posts don't contribute to that count though.

What's the highest rank for that then, just God or something?

Interestingly, if you click on the wiki link from Google and get redirected to the forum, you'll get page ads even if you're logged in.

Also, Tony, it looks like your avatar broke.

It's a conspiracy! But I did some investigating, and those particular avatars are hosted on the wiki, which is down. Yay, relevance!

If I recall, @Insectoid gets the highest rank at 2048.

I still think we need to re-do our ranking system though...

I think there's one more rank before God, and that's why I haven't picked a custom rank yet.

I thought Tony's Clone is a custom rank Razz
Btw, you can still get custom ranks? I thought the rank edit thing was disabled in the bit shop.

Custom ranks aren't linked to bits or post counts. They are the product of sheer awesomeness and sticking around long enough for Tony or Dan to offer you one.

For instance, if I remember correctly, there was a user named Andy whose rank was changed to whatdocolour warrior for his famous use of whatdotcolour in turing to solve most issues, when it came to anything.

Ohhhhhhh I see, so is Tony's Clone also a custom rank? Razz

Nope.

Pretty sure it's just for having a rediculous amount of posts... If what Tony said is true, then you get that rank at 2048 posts I think

Posting in a month old thread for relevance. Or something.

Edit: 7 years. It's been some time.

I really like the concept of stars to indicate the # of years you've been around. I actually initially thought that "Tony's clone" was custom as well Razz. Also, what do the stars (or hearts) just below your username represent? Level of awesomeness Wink ?

Post subject:  RE:Does your rank go up by posts?

Wow, more and more stuff is turning into legacy software around here... the filled in blocks/hearts/stars are a "rank image" associated with a particular rank.

Post subject:  RE:Does your rank go up by posts?

@Tony: Not too much. Parents both got hurt at work a while ago, so I took time off school to work and help them out. Saving up money to both pay off the debts I incurred there and to pay for continued schooling Razz

Looking to start back up, part-time at least, in September Smile

Post subject:  RE:Does your rank go up by posts?

Oh... that's unfortunate. But I'm glad that things seem to have worked out such that you are ready to get back to schooling.

Wow... I lurk around every so often and just seeing that I have [12] stars blows my mind.

I am currently in a comp sci course, but it is quite lame at the moment, I will be getting back into python soon though, so I'll be around a bit more methinks.
