                        maybe not a new rank, but maybe changing the color of the stars????? lawerence, mellis, anyone................................. is that possible? it would show the member has achieved a higher level and might not be to difficult to do.

                        How about:

                        4000= Master Modeler
                        8000=Master Model Judge
                        10000=FSM adminstrator Ultimate Modeler

                        The new Ranks could be signified by a bar similar to the ribbons of a military uniform.

                        Perhaps the first one would have a red and blue bar with a gold star in the middle. Inside the Gold Star could be an Oak Leaf.

                        The next one could have the same bar with a gold star, only the star would be flanked by 2 Oak Leaves.

                        The last rank could have a picture of a trophy cup. (Or a god's throne! Big Smile [:D] )

                        I quite agree. I joined FSM sometime in July of last year (7 months) ago. Within that period of time I was able to post roughly about 1700 posts and built 6 models and four dios (plus rebuilding/repainting 5 models). So, it is not really inversely propotional.Wink [;)]

                        I agree with Hou_ge2000 when he says we should have those really high rankings. I few of us are almost there and it would be a great way to show a persons dedication to this site and their experience above the rest of us aftermarket folks.

                        They should have something like

                        4000+ = ModelMaster
                        8000+ = ModelDiety

                        The ranking system is dependent on the number of posts you make.

                        0-19 Snap-together
                        20-99 Box Stock
                        100-499 Aftermarket
                        500-999 Multi-media
                        1000-1999 Kit-bashed
                        2000 + Scratch-built (Postmaster General?)

                        So if you want to have a higher rank you need to participate in the forum discussions more often.

                        Good luck.

                        I have been on these forums since this summer and I still dont know exactly how the ranking goes. For example how you earn the different ranks and what the starts under your name means. I have been wonderin that for a long time and decided it was time to find out. Thanks
