    Question Is it just me?

    or did the names of the ranks change?

    Cool, but peculiar!

    Looks like just the names of the ranks changed. The numbers game appears to be intact

    and what's happened to the Sourcebook board? Has it been dumped or is there actually something going to come from it at long last?

    Couldn't we have changed them for funny or I dunno, clever new ones?

    I mean "Verbose Member"? Sounds almsot like a backhanded Compliment to me.

    Well these names seem a bit... Vulcan to me actually

    Okay currently I'm a Valued Member... I'm not so sure I want to reach the 1000 posts now (and become a Verbose Member... seems less interesting than Lt Commander was). Maybe this is a way to encourage the, er, excessively verbose posters to post a bit less frequently ?

    Or just Don's Halloween prank ?

    As discussed (on the aforementioned board) there was little progress being made and certainly nothing that couldn't be taken care of via e-mail. Hence, the board was removed.

    I'm glad the ranks changed. I was getting tired of demoting myself to LT. That was a nasty thing to do to a hard-working NCO.

    So I go away for the weekend and come back to this...a valued member.

    How...modern generation PC of us.

    I feel like a customer at Walmart or Costco or something. Do we all get cards that say "Valued Member" or whatnot?

    Ah, well. No sense complaining since it ain't my dime paying for it. Thanks for letting us have the place in which to play, Don. You gotta do what you gotta do to keep it interesting for you.
