    Oops, you are correct. "Guru" was at one time an awarded status, but we don't do that any more and people remain "fanatics" until they reach 4097 when they can change it if they want to.

    Here is an updated list:

    new member 0-16
    junior member 17-32
    member 33-64
    lively member 65-128
    addicted member 129-256
    hyperactive member 257-512
    fanatic member 513-4096
    Custom Status 4097+

    Nevermind then... take away my hope... I'll just have to remain a fanatic forever...

    I just think that is a long gap to make before getting a status change.

    Well ...

    How about a Lunatic member?

    I guess anybody having these hundreds and hundreds of posts here must be some kind of a lunatic, and it also is in tune with the word Fanatic

    how about we give them a star ranking...out of 10 stars...

    0001-0199 --> new member
    0200-0399 --> 1 star
    0400-0559 --> 2 star
    0600-0799 --> 3 star
    0800-0999 --> 4 star
    1000-1199 --> 5 star
    1200-1399 --> 6 star
    1400-1599 --> 7 star
    1600-1799 --> 8 star
    1800-1999 --> 9 star
    2000-more --> 10 star

    doesn't have to be a star though...we can have a nice gif like attached...

    thats some one for 200 - 399 status...red light activates as post count goes higher...all u need to do is make 11 images and put it...and after 4096 someone wants to put custom name then can put it...

    Dedicated, Consecrated, Devoted member: Well, I think that's self-explanatory.

    Right now I'm leaning towards one of the following

    • Dedicated member
    • Resident member
    • Ultra-member
    • Frenzied member


    I'm not considering titles that imply any given level of knowledge like "Guru" or "Expert" because that does not fit the pattern of the other titles, and it is possible (but unlikely) that a person could reach the new level through questions only, or by way of a lot of junk answers.
