Subject: I don't know what to call this topic
Written By: elefanten on 10/17/04 at 4:52 am
it's kinda hard to explain,but these Pengo things
How about you replace 'em with anouther system
So
maybe one say
"I am a big Rancid fan, and i own all of the CD's and the merchindeces"
then you can make him "Rancid Fan" maybe, instead of McVittie

The ranking systems themselves are based on a board algorithm embedded somewhere within the software that says "Between x posts and y posts, give user z title". These titles are alterable by the owner of the messageboard, but not by any of the other Forum Admin staff. The stars system works in a similar way.
So although you can change yourself from a "Rollin Stoner" to a.. whatever you want, you can't personally change the fact that you are currently a Pengo or that you have three out of five stars. And hence, if one person's ranking was changed, all the other rankings would be changed along with it.
I hope I have explained this okay..!

From what we currently are aware, Howard, the star ratings work as follows:
...?
10,000 posts+ = Feathers McGraw = 5 Stars
5,000 posts+ = Badtz Maru = 4 Stars
1,000 posts+ = Tuxedo Sam = 4 Stars
500 posts+ = Nestor le Pingouin = 3 Stars
250 posts+ = Bud Ice Penguin = 3 Stars
100 posts+ = Pengo = 3 Stars
50 posts+ = Pingu = 2 Stars
25 posts+ = McVitie = 2 Stars
0 posts+ = Wheezy = 1 Star

there's only one more ranking, not yet reached. At this rate though, it will be discovered in a few weeks I'm sure.

Now we have two rankings beyond "Feathers McGraw":
"Chilly Willy" (15,000 posts+; 5 Stars)
"Opus" (25,000 posts+; 5 Stars)
I wonder if there's anything beyond Opus....

I could, but I didn't.
Opus was added only because Berkley Breathed resurrected my all time favorite penguin for the Sunday funnies.
Chilly Willy is pretty cool too, but nowhere near as cool as Opus. I have several Opus stuffed plushes.
