New posting ranks

[TorbenGB]

Hi all,
You may know that this forum has a fun little detail called ranks. The idea is that you get promoted into the next higher rank when you've posted a certain number of messages. But I found that the number of posts necessary to gain each rank was way too high -- the highest rank started at 1200 posts.... it would take another several years for anyone here to achieve that rank.

So I've just adjusted the thresholds to more reasonable levels, and several users now have new ranks because of this. I won't disclose the exact number of posts needed for each rank because I think that would take away some of the fun factor (which the ranking system is all about), but it's safe to say that the new ranks are very achievable for everybody -- except for the highest ranks, but even those aren't impossible anymore.

Happy posting!
