Thanks for the suggestions guys, to me the ranks really aren't a huge deal, it's just a little something to keep things interesting. It in no way means you're not an appreciated forum member if your ranking is low, there's just not an easier way to rank people. I am well aware that there are guys here who have been with the forum for a very long time, and because of some software crashes your post counts were lost.

If you are truly offended and feel that your ranking should be higher, let me know and maybe I can make some exceptions.

But like I said, it's really not a big deal. And once the season gets going you'll be surprised at how quickly the post counts will rack up.

I think we all appreciate quality over quantity, I just wish there was a way to reward for that.

but they are a huge deal, we want to look cool

lol. Yea wed be lying if we said we didnt like the pictures. In fact you all might be happy that I am debating to stop posting just so i can keep the Sean taylor pick...now I know you all know that that probably wont happen. but i am debating it.

is that little box next to the posts new? and does it mean anything?

I turned on the user reputation feature, that's what the little green box is for. There's also that weights symbol, click on that if you like someone's post and you can award them with reputation points. It might be a good way we can award people for quality posts rather than just quantity of posts. I still have to tweak the system and change the ranks and stuff.

Dumb question for you Matty.. I clicked on the reputation feature for myself and it said I had ten "reputation points". What exactly does this mean? 10 peeps like my posts or ten peeps think I'm a jackass? I'm in the latter camp, of course.

I'm glad I don't know... gives me a shot to add another post towards being post-blue-beanie. This almost reminds me of saving up G&H Green Stamps!

;)

:banghead:

I know it's not the proper place, but what is the deal with the blue helmets?

What's Up Memphis?

Not making enough in your paycheck in order to pay attention, eh?

everyone starts out with 10 points and you can receive points from your fellow members, length of time you've been on the board, and other factors. I'm still working it all out and I'll be sure to post to lay out all the details for everyone.

thanks for all the work Matty to keep the site new and interesting.

I'm not keen on Shaman, Ghost Dance, Great Spirit, and Scalper, but I like the others!

The indian theme is, well..... interesting(?)

Using that small of a scale we'd have guys whipping right through in no time. Kinda pointless if you ask me.
