Forum "ranks", how do they work?

[Shandorei]

See so many "title's" that I'm sure represents ranks, how does it work, and is there a list of them?

Edit: Like, it stands Cryptstalker under my portrait, what is that!

Ranks are assigned depending on your Post Count. You are automatically given the Rank name when you achieve that rank's required post number. You can manually change your title to any of your past acquired ones in the User Control Panel.

The names mostly follow Hunter Tier sets from in game:

Newbies - 0 Posts
Giantstalkers - 5 Posts
Dragonstalkers - 50 Posts
Cryptstalkers - 100 Posts
Demonstalkers - 200 Posts
Riftstalkers - 300 Posts
Scourgestalkers - 450 Posts + Green Name (all ranks past this also have Green name)
Beaststalkers - 600 Posts
Beastmasters - 800 Posts
Beast Lords - 1000 Posts

Specialty Groups:
Hunter Trainers - Members of this group have proven to be valuable resources for the hunter or forum community. + Blue Name
Haiku Masters - Members of this group proved to be true Haiku Masters by writing the most popular haiku in the Hunter Pet Haiku Contest. + Pale Purple Name
Stable Masters - Moderators. + Purple Name
Admin - aka Mania + Red Name

Yeah, you can change it too, like I did. My title says Newbie, even tough I have both Beast Lord and Hunter Trainer available. As Veph said, it's in the settings.

For the ranks colors, except for the two shades of blue, purple and red, they're based on the number of posts you've made.
Red is Queen Mania, purple is moderators, the light purple blue are poem contest winners and the bright sky blue is those who have made significant contributions to the community.

Black is fewer posts than green, but if memory serves there are a few "ranks" that are green and a few that are black.

Ok, Veph types faster than me! But I'm posting it anyway since I already wrote it.

Guess I am too lazy looking it up.

I'd laugh if tier 1 was named "newbies" or something similar


Edit: I'm slow at writing, and also, wrote in a wrong forum! Damn it can I fail more now But yeah! Thank for the info

I was wondering why Saturo was a "Newbie".

You are a weird little gnome, Saturo.
