Hi buddy,

Is it possible to set this forum up like others I've seen - you know the type where each person recieves a "rating" based on number of posts so they get a category attached to their user name.

I don't know what theme we could use - maybe people could suggest one and we could have a poll on it?

Oh yes, we can do that.
What rankings do you have in mind? Or are you going to trust me to make them up?
Suggestions below please.

How about:

0 = Doesn't know how to turn a computor on,
1 - 10 = Has a life outside Forums,
11 - 100 = Loosing the ability of old fashioned face-to-face conversations
101 + = just too much time on your hands

Well that's a start anyway

I was thinking more on the lines of each level equates to say a character e.g. The Simpsons or a type of confectionery or fine piece so as you post more you progress through the "ranks" aiming for the ultimate status of whatever theme we pick.

So you might start at say plain doughnut and progress through bakewell slice via custard tart to black forest gateau. If that makes sense?

We could use a colour scheme a bit like snooker balls ratings / points. However, grey would have to be the lowest of lows (ultimately depressing colour and should be confined to funerals only).
Naturally, the creme de la creme, and penultimate colour to achieve would be - PINK

Who remembers the wombles???

AHA - I do.

I can remember Tobermory, Uncle Bulgaria, Tomsk and Madame Cholet for starters

What about metals ?
Bronze , Silver , Gold , Titanium.........Plutonium or is it Zantium that is the rarest ?
Someone will have to make a decison eventually or can we perhasp put a poll on the forum ?

We'll see if there are any other suggestions in the next week, and then have a poll.
So far:-

• Precious metals
  
• Snooker colours
  
• "Steve's"
  
• Cakes
  
• Wombles
  

Admin can always set a rank that has nothing to do with post count. It might not always be complimentary

What about bikes of increasing capacity for increasing number of posts?

Honda CB50, through BSA Bantam 125, right up to a Boss Hog

Just spotted this post. How much fun could someone have with this!

Superheroes!!! From the one with the most rubbish powers (perhaps Robin or The Thing) up to YODA! Hehe
OR something like 'visor licker' up to 'king of the road'

As funny as I think they would be - I think bike capacities is perhaps most fitting
