User Ranks Part II: A New Dawn

So this is something that has been kicking around among Staff for over a year now, and we figured it was time to actually get it done... and what better time to announce it than on Day 23 of our Super Fun Awesome Advent Calendar™?

 

The current user ranks (that appear between your username and avatar) were launched 5 years ago. They have served us well, but as the site has grown -- with many users passing the 10K upper rank, the next generation console coming out, and many wishing they were more gender-neutral -- we've decided it's time move on to a new set of user ranks.

 

We hemmed and hawed about it for months, and then Mendel had a stroke of genius (not an uncommon occurrence for him). Why not make it Playstation-centric?

 

And thus the new user ranks gradually came into being: gaming references all trophy hunters should recognize.

 

31 Ranks there shalt be, from the lowest of games to the highest, we decreed.

Also just noticed this:

 

Will Terminator ever stop posting so much?

 

I feel so relieved, looks like the Be A Star campaign touched Vy's heart after my failure at Uncharted 3 and subsequent abuse :rofl:

 

Spend a few days deleting all his posts. :devil:

 

He did that once when he was on 9999 to troll Jake :rofl: What's another 24k?

I'm fucking gutted mjc doesn't have just 1000 posts :pout: :pout:

I'm fucking gutted that today's calendar thing is this and not the staff announcing they've each mailed you a jar of pickles, but hey, life sucks sometimes.

 

Spend a few days deleting all his posts. :devil:

Too bad he's not a mod, the only posts of mine he could actually delete to even make a dent are my guides and that's a big no-no for the guide team :nana:

It's true :rofl:

 

I was at 9,999 for a bit, then Jake VMs me and asks me to hurry up and post because he's staying up late to watch me hit 10,000. So I told him to keep watching, then I deleted some posts. :rofl:

Also I have no recollection of why someone should have Shewee for an avatar :rofl:

(If you don't know what shewee is, google it for a laugh)

Hmm.. Interesting. 5 extra ranks. 15k, 20k, 25k, 30k, 50k?

 

So what's the equivalent of an Ultimate Being in gaming terms? Kratos maybe?

 

I hope not. Kratos is kind of a piece of shit (not a comment about the quality of the games, just Kratos himself is a terrible person) and it wouldn't really be an honor to be called that (not that there's any honor in having a lot of posts anyway, but still).
