I know I am, I love posting on Dakka, but dang do I wanna go up levels! Is it just me or does anyone else love going up in rank?

it's something you care less about once you get a little higher up. I obsessed on a couple of ranked forums till I hit about 1000+ posts. then it matters less.

Not obessed, but want to go up in the ranks.

I'd rather get a list of all possible ranks

Same here.

Eh its just a little something extra to chuckle about and gives you a sense of progression on these forums.

Also I secretly wish to be a Lord of Change D:

As you get higher most of the names tend to just be small modifications to the last one you had. When I use to have the Khorne style ranking I was a Berserker for about 3-4 milestones before I got turned into a Dread (then back to a Terminator I think, never bothered to follow it after I hit berserker).

I only get excited when I'm less than 100 away from the next one, then the feeling fades as I remember I'm 1000 away from the next one...

I never much cared for rankings, and it doesn't really matter now that I get a custom one.

Yeah, I need to get the custom one.

Well I am excited to see what I get after I hit 10,000 posts .
Yes I am obsessed with it.

Become a DCM and you can make your title "THE Lord of Change" =D

Wheres the fun in that?

I'm always obsessed with any forum I join's ranking system. If only because the number of posts and title add a bit of weight to what I write. Right now I'm just some noob despite having played wargames for more than 18 years!

Ha. Newbie. That only has 10 posts and has only been playing for 18 years! (JK)
Its always very confusing, but yes mostly teenagers younger than me have less posts than I. And the adults have more posts than me interesting... Why do they have more posts than I? It doesn't make sense. Teenagers have no lives right now and spend all their time on the computer. While adults do work and such!

It's a fun little doodad but I couldn't care much less about it.

I kind of miss being a Spawn :(

I don't actively look at it, but it is kind of fun to see what you become once you get more posts.

There's a ranking system?

No they don't. Or at least, they shouldn't. I know I treat post counts, and any title other than 'Mod' as meaning feth-all of anything.

I like finding out what comes next. Atm I'm a monolith...next step is what? Immortal? Pariah? D:

Meaningless bs.

Yeah....I don't think anyone puts any stock into your number of posts.

1/3 of the Dakkanauts with ridiculously high post counts rarely leave the OT forum (or did, but it is closed now) - meaning that they almost never contributed anything here.

Alpharius and Waaaugh! Gonads have ridiculously high post counts. 13-19k. I wonder how many thousands of those posts are in the 800 page or so thread in the DCM forums that entirely consists of pictures of scantily clad women?

Don't put value on the number of posts someone has, but rather in the content of what they write.

Aye DOP, thats definately seconded. Content of posts is important rather than number of posts.

I wonder what the arbites ranking system is...whatever it is im going to outrank everyone except for Inquisitors....I will become judge, jury and executioner hahaha

Anyone who visits the YMDC forum also tends to generate huge amounts of posts, that or start an argument somewhere by pointing out a tiny flaw in someone's logic. Sometimes I wonder if half the population of Dakka does this solely to generate post count.

I'm more interested in finding out what they all are rather than 'getting' them. As long as I have a cool sounding rank I'm happy.

Caring is uncool.

HA! You would like to think that, wouldn't you!

But you are correct, quite a few people whom have high post counts don't usually say anything special, it just means we are around the longest.

Me, for instance. I spent alot of time playing Warhammer, but my Gaming Group all moved away/stopped playing, so I stopped posting in the 40K Forums and moved over to the Off Topic Forum, because I still wanted to talk to people who had similar interests as me. Now that I convinced a friend to play a game or two again, I figured I would see what was going on over here.

I seem to get bigger meaner vehicles every time I go up, I do like my Russ! But yeah, I do enjoy going up ranks

I am definitely obsessed with my rank. I can't wait to be an admiral.

But then I realize I will be an admiral when I reach 20 000 000 posts or something like that, and I feel stupid.

I'm about 90% sure I've hit every single chaos space marine ranking, although I'm not sure if there's a 5000 post one

Not really. I didn't even look at it until a couple weeks ago :3
