It's a way of identifying the top posters on the site. The top ten are #1, the next 10 #2 and so on. 

Means absolutely nothing! It doesn't differentiate between quality and quantity. For want of a better explanation, it typically shows who needs to get off the comp and back to the build table!

Note that my personal ranking is 2! So I know!! Big Smile [:D]

So long folks!

Bgrigg is right on the quality and quantity thing, it means nothing really other than something you feel as an acomplishment in your own goals. Some feel that a post level/quantity is a posisition of stature and all that comes with it. Trust me on this one, I posted the very same question when I first joined this forum and boy did all heck break loose with over 1,000 replies! It turned into a ,  well let's just say my mail box hinges were ready to break. It was all in good fun though!Smile [:)]Wink [;)]Big Smile [:D]Cool [8D]

As an adendem(sic) some even say they will post to a 5,000 mark and then leave. But why leave when this forum is THE BEST for all modelers young and old.  OOPPPS sorry Brigg did not mean to requote youOops [oops] must of pushed the wrong button?Dunce [D)]

Aww, I was excited because my ranking is 128! but it turns out it's not necessarily a good thing. Thanks guys for the help! (and I hope I didn't stir up anything...)
