Blue's News: Comments - Out of the Blue

Out of the Blue

[June 21, 2008, 10:09 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Frans was poking around in some of the scripts on the server and was inspired to play with some of the code for the forums. As a result, some of the rankings for number of posts have been adjusted. Forum regulars will probably find amusement in the new designation for the lowest tier of post count, formerly "bearcub," which is now "suspect," which will occasionally properly identify posts from PR flaks.

Flaky Links:	Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez.
Play:	Governor of Poker. But Spitzer resigned! (rimshot). 46546Kullors 2.
Story:	Woman finds man hiding in space he cut in her couch. Thanks Devicer.
Images:	The Worst General Lee(s) Ever.
Media:	Fitness Instructor tries Wii Fit. The 10 Best Lightsaber Mash Ups. Porsche crash - this cameraman has more balls than you.

	And for rocketpcguy... "Needs to get laid"

	How about... "Needs to get a life"? anyone can guess that you would need that label rather that nin.

	No joke - considering I am 1/2 of his posts and same rank....just change his to "Ridiculous" How about... "Needs to get a life"?

	<quote>I finally hit Amateur, figure I've been posting since 2000 and I've managed to get 300ish after 8 years. Not too big of a deal I think. I'm just surprised nin hasn't broken the counter yet.</quote> Another thing is they should gi ve you extra rank points based on your durational spread of posting ...like each week with one post you get ten points, 15 points every month with one post, 35 points with every six months with a post, 246 points every year with one post, 1256 points every 5 years, and 56k every ten years.

	It's too bad I need to post before checking my new rank because then I would need to make another post in order to gripe about overly generic ranks and instead of relying on the lowest common world english to reach readers from all over the world ant didn't script a multilingual ranking system so that the ranks utlize the nuances of each reader's toungue.

	It ought to adjust for account age, at least

	I'm just surprised nin hasn't broken the counter yet. There was one point in the last couple of weeks where nin had to create a new login due to some password glitch, jokingly attributed at the time to his high postcount... Dan =0)

	I'm a suspect now?! I need to post more. I finally hit Amateur, figure I've been posting since 2000 and I've managed to get 300ish after 8 years. Not too big of a deal I think. I'm just surprised nin hasn't broken the counter yet.

	I still say if you are going to change things, you should make everything as a ratio of nin's posts! He should at least have his own unique rank for all his years of service.

	Yeah, but with the new ranking system I have been reduced at least two steps in rank. I hate you nin!!!! ----------------------------------- The HD-DVD: silver medalist the most recent format war, a contest where everybody except gold is taken out back and shot through the head.

AH-hahahahahahaha! Nice! Porsche crash - this cameraman has more balls than you. Stupidity is more like it. Don't get me wrong, it was awesome to watch, but I think that guy ranks up there with the people who stand out back with camcorders as the tornado heads straight towards them. ------------------------------------------------ http://theslip.nin.com/ "The Bellic boys!
