We see them daily, those who post a lot on the site (such as nosferatu, zombombie, myself, Ryan (yes you :) ), Tkaraoke etc.).

However, what perplexes me is how these work. Is it based on post count? Activity? (Although I doubt the latter).
If it is by posts, then how many posts is required to reach the next rank? If by activity, how often must you be on the forums? It has me going you see, and I'd like to get to the bottom of it.

Curiosity killed the cat you know. :frank:

The forum rank titles below your name are based on your post count. The number of posts required, and all the different ranks possible, are something I don't recall off the top of my head. I occasionally change them to keep people guessing.

I've never announced what the number requirements are for each rank, because I didn't want people posting lots of fluff to pad their number. I like to think that the rank change comes as a fun surprise. We've seen some of our members say things like, "Hey cool, I'm an UNLEASHED Zombie Pumpkin now!"

The ranks represent the life cycle of a pumpkin... eventually transitioning through the death cycle of a Zombie Pumpkin. The first rank is Barren Soil, followed by Pumpkin Seed and Pumpkin Sprout. Eventually you grow, ripen, start to get moldy and mushy, and ultimately become a Zombie Pumpkin of various power levels.

I know I've missed a lot of mine changing, I just don't look at that all the time. I know there was one I liked and didn't want to change, but now I can't remember what it was. It was probably whatever mine is now. :P

I do sometimes worry I post too much :( I try to keep it on topic though!

Such thoughts are blasphemy. On ZP! Forums there is no such thing :twisted:

Did we loose our forum ranks in the newest update? Aw man! :cry:

It would be hard to re implement that's for sure :skull:

Aw, I don't mean to make Sonic sad! But you're right, it looks like this forum design doesn't include the user ranks. They're a fun idea, in theory. But I don't think many members paid much attention to them. Plus, a lot of the long-time members have reached such a high rank that I ran out of names for them. I think we'll come up with other, more meaningful ways to reward members that contribute good content to the forum.

Sounds like a plan! I always liked seeing how long it would take to reach the next rank! :smile:
