Okay, so this is proposal to 'upgrade' member rank titles. In my opinion the current ones arent very "horror-like", so I tried to came up with more suitable titles to fit in horror theme. Not that post count or member ranks really mean anything, but I think it's fun for everyone and it gives more content to the site. Just my opinion again, but the smileys in rank titles aren't very nice. I think we should get rid of them (just a suggestion). Also in this board upgrade I would like to include; no possibility for guest to post - you have to register. I think the mods should also have rank titles... heh, they are the ones who usually post most so they are the ones that will probably ever reach the highest ranks. And we can still see in forum index/section listing who the mods are. For example; DVD-rips = bobble991 etc...

Some of current rank titles are; Request Territory, Goody Little Two Shoes, Ain't That Good, Will Tear Your Soul Apart, Kill Them For Me Mummy, A Member Of The Recently Deceased...

Here are the ones i came up with. Maybe other members have better ideas. I know many of them may sounds a bit "cheesy" and childish, but I think everyone knows not to take the post ranks too seriously. They are to be taken with a bit humor also... mine aren't very funny, but /me thinks these would suit perfectly for HHAH :)


One possible listing
TITLE / NUMBER OF POSTS / POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVE
Lurker = [Registered but no posts] Shadow
Requests Territory [1 > 15] Alone In The Dark
Walking Corpse [16 > 35] Buried In The Backyard
Devoured By Vermin [36 > 65] Worm Infested (or) Skull Full Of Maggots
Humana Inspired To Nightmare [66 > 100] Servant Of The Dead Donkeys
Mummified In Barbed Wire [101 > 150]
Blood Sucking Freak [151 > 225]
Dead But Dreaming [226 > 350]
In Hell I Burn [351 > 500]
Will Tear Your Soul Apart [501 > 665] Left Hand Of The Devil
Serpent Tongue [666 > 850] Master Of The Dead Donkeys
Lunatic Of Gods Creation [851 > 1100]
Demon Of The Abyss [1101 > 1665]
The Devil, Probably [1666 > 2500]
The Ancient One [2501 > ...]

* special ranks
Cast Out To Heaven = BANNED
A Member Of The Recently Deceased (or) Servant Of The Dead Donkeys = Honorary Member


Heh, many of the titles are metal song titles or from horror movies.'Dead But Dreaming' and 'The Ancient One' are from Cthulhu mytology. Cthulhu = Dead But Dreaming. I also came up with title to those rare cases when someone gets banned. They weren't obviliously evil enough for HHAH so they were "cast out to heaven" ;) and I don't know what it takes to get Honorary Member rank, but I don't have to. It's up to spud. I doubt anyone will ever reach 2500 posts, but I think it's nice to be there though as we'll never know how long we'll have this great board :)


So what do you fellow members think about this proposal? Do you like current rank titles better or the possible new ones? and please post here if you have a good idea for some title or some other suggestion.

Question is; Should we change rank titles or not? (Eh, didn't find how to make a poll) and if YES, then please vote which titles in my list you liked and should we use alternative in some case and are the post counts okay as they are in list? thanks

eh, no one cares about titles or everyone is happy with the old ones? :)

Heheh, I like your proposals. Perhaps a poll would help here?

i think it took Spud weeks to come up with the titles.

still, new ones are better.

Um, how do I create a poll!? I read this in FAQ: Creating a poll is easy, when you post a new topic (or edit the first post of a topic, if you have permission) you should see a Add Poll form below the main posting box (if you cannot see this then you probably do not have rights to create polls). You should enter a title for the poll and then at least two options (to set an option type in the poll question and click the Add option button. You can also set a time limit for the poll, 0 is an infinite poll. There will be a limit to the number of options you can list, this is set by the board administrator
I can't see the Add Poll form anywhere :?


I meant no offense to Spud. That's why I pm'd him and asked about my proposal before posting.


Thank you Spud, I really appereciate time and effort you are spending for this site. It is you after all who has to do all the work...it's easy for likes of me to suggest all kinda things :mrgreen:

oh and before i get, do we want associated pictures with the ranks, and if so, can you send me some links to each associated title please (i know no other site does it, but i think it's kind of neat :) )

Has to be a small gif preferably, although jpgs can go through psp and uploaded :) )

Great, we now have a poll :)


I think it's a good idea. It just might prove difficult to find good pics for all the ranks. I'll try to find some :)
What about the titles? Should we use alternative titles in some cases? (like Request Territory = Alone In the Dark, or something. Request Territory is used in FH so maybe we should have all titles of our own)

Heh, couple titles that popped just now. In Purgatory [1 -> 15] and In Torment In Hell [351 -> 500]

I guess we can add the pictures later if someone finds nice ones. I'm still in search, but can't find any neat pics that would associate with the new ranks

Maybe the mods could have same titles as all the members? By a number of posts... but in different colour maybe. Green for mods and orange for admins.. stupid idea? Or, don't know if it's possible, to put two titles;
Movie Mod
<-Title by posts->

Eh, only 'mod-titles' I could invent were Movie Overlord or Movie Overseer... or something along those lines, but /me thinks it's best that everyone has the title by post count :)
