Who makes the side thingys???

[dmacburry2003]

Who decides those side thingys??? (the ones like Pocket PC Ponderer, Pocket PC Pontificator, Pocket PC Neophyte, Pocket PC so and so, etc.)

Are they random?

Is there any way to get one you want?

I'm not degrading them as they are COOL 8) I was just curious.

[Pat Logsdon]

I believe that Jason came up with them, and they're based on post count. When I hit 800, I went from a Sage to an Oracle, and I think the next step is a Pontificator, somewhere around 1000 posts, then Mystic, Magi, and finally Guru. :mrgreen:

Is there anything above Guru, Jason?

As far as getting a custom one, I think that's up to the editors/moderators. I think ctmagnus was a Troll for awhile, and also a "2000 Posts And This Is All That I Get?", but I haven't seen any others...

[dmacburry2003]

Oh, I see. That makes perfect sense. :D


You should add Darth Vader in there somewhere :wink:

I think im a Pontificator... You start as a Neophyte lol!

You are a Ponderer! Getting up there sonny :D

Surgical Snack, I think you are thinking of Jake, who Jason made a "Troll" because he wasnt civil and always wanted to boast about how much better his Palm was lol :D

Looking 8O ....

Neophyte
Pupil
Ponderer
Theorist
Intellectual
Thinker
Sage
Oracle
Pontificator

And that's up to about 1000 or so...

[dmacburry2003]

I think Oracle is the coolest 8)

It reminds me of The Matrix.

[JustinGTP]

I like all of them, they arent typical. Thats what happens when you are creative! Who thought of those? Whoever did, :way to go: !

Nope - ctmagnus was briefly a "Troll" in this thread (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15389&highlight=troll+ctmagnus).

Personally, I think it would be cool to have my rank changed to "Octopus Hunter (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=5229)". I catch and release, of course, but it's necessary because they menace the mattresses something awful. :mrgreen:

We generally discourage special ranks except for... special... situations. ctmagnus was acting like a troll at one point. As for the latter title, who said that's special? :razzing:

Who thought of those?
Jason, mostly. I came up with one or two of the later ones.

If you want to (cheat and) see the different names and post counts, view the member list and manipulate the data to your fancy.

Don't we have a "I just joined for the contests" rank, too?

[Jeff Rutledge]

Don't we have a "I just joined for the contests" rank, too?

That's when your post count is '1'. It changes after your second (to neophyte I think...).

Actually, that rank has been retired...

Indeed. Jason was tired of explaining to every new member what the point was. ;) Neophyte replaced it.
