I found it funny because I rekindled the debate. I didn't think there was as much feeling involved as there apparently is, and I simply wanted to weigh in. I started another thread so hopefully that topic won't come up again in this thread.
Skimming the ranks down to "member an ex-member" is a bit extreme. Having a post based rank system gives some people a reason to post regularly.

What we did not anticipate was the additional growth the changes would bring with it. This resulted in a necessity to increase server and backup capacity in the spring.
So the question is, "What might someone be willing to pay yearly for a special Rank & Graphic? Would a $10 / year seem reasonable, seeing it also goes into keeping the forum alive? Or would a one time fee of perhaps $25 be acceptable? Name and graphic would have to be approved by management and would work much the same as personalized license plates.
Of course this is all hypothetical and could be limited by system resources.
Maybe we need to poll members on this idea.
TDF Management and Owners
Narcisusus,
this is where money came into it, by TDF Management. They also mention car registration plates as did Midiman.
So, if you want to blame someone blame them.
As far as I'm concerned this whole post has become quite boring and inutile. I already wrote before what I thought. End of story.

Right. But the talk about money, as such, is off topic. Whether to pay or not to pay for such a thing, is.

OK, see you around the forum, then. I can't do anything more than I have, until TDF management takes a look at the ranking.
@Incognito: I only reduced it to "member and ex-member" because that is the very base to start from, IMO, that would properly label people.

Oh, I hope I will never be an ex-member. I am way reformed now.
Maybe not...
Seems like I have the power to edit my own words out BEFORE I'm PM'd by TDF Management or others.
That shows improvement.

That's Great, and I'd go ahead and leave the graphic's off. People take time and pride in their Avitair's and I personally think the graphics take away from that as there isn't very much room there....
Great Job and well done....

If you really don't want any of these special titles, and just want to be a Senior Member, that can be arranged, just send me a PM, and I'll set your rank.

I'm just glad you dumped the Doll Guru graphic. It was creepy looking.

Personally, I'm confused why anyone would prefer to be called a "Member" rather than a "Doll Wanker". If someone called me a Member to my face, I'd pull myself up to my full height and then spit all over them!
