Member Contributer Cogswell Posted July 5, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted July 5, 2021 So, every so often there's a forum software change - been through a lot of 'em. I am puzzled this time by the "rank" assigned to everyone. When I first noticed this I was a "newbie 1/14". Then suddenly I find that I'm a "mentor, 12/14". Wow - I sure get promoted fast . . . I guess. Apparently there are 14 "ranks". Anyone know what this means and should I care? The only thing I for sure know about "rankness" is that when I've been on a long ride on a hot day, I'm very "rank". Maybe that's how I'm getting promoted, not sure. Fortunately for the rest of you, the "rank" is not transmissible via the internet, so the rest of you are out of range. Maybe for the next VFR meetup a "rank vaccine" will have been developed and no one need wear a mask to protect oneself from other's "rankness". YMMV . . .

Member Contributer 34468Randy Posted July 6, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted July 6, 2021 I am a rank collaborator. That sounds sinister. My mom always said I was such a good boy so someone needs to look into this and see what's up! Its hot. Where's my beer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR4Me Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I just want to know which oil is best for my 8th gen? Titles, ranks and badges are all nifty things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer St. Stephen Posted July 7, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted July 7, 2021 My rank says I'm a "community regular". I'm pretty sure that means that I do show up but keep opinions about oil to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I'm a "Rising Star." Considering I don't even own a VFR anymore and I don't visit here nearly as much, I think that's pretty impressive. I remember when the site went down or was reconfigured years ago I lost my post count. It was pretty high at the time. I think I had cracked the top 10, which just goes to show how much time I spent here back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
