good suggestions so far... I particularly like Charicature's theme. I've tweaked it a little bit and think it would be better if we ditched the current silver/gold/platinum/diamond scheme so that it flows better.

So, how about this for the full list of ranks (or some better names along these lines if anyone wants to suggest any):

5 posts: Air Guitarist
10 posts: Garage Band
25 posts: Club Band
50 posts: Touring Artist
100 posts: Semi-Famous
250 posts: Stadium Filler
500 posts: International Superstar

I just shifted them a bit and got rid of the 1000 post rank since nobody has this many at the moment and even if you did eventually get there, I think we should cap the ranks at 500 to be fair to people that want a life 😉

100: Superbowl halftime show
250: Signed to major label
500: Signed to indie label
1000: Recording from basement w/ barely working 4 track.

Except it's suggesting someone is getting more and more obscure the more posts they have...it's counter-intuitive;)

mmmm, not a bad idea but not everyone will know about that sequence and not everyone likes the beatles. I think needs to be something that everyone can 'get' and be more band agnostic. 🤔

you could use the names of beatles albums and go more or less chronologically:

rubber soul
revolver
sgt peppers
abbey road

Maybe you should just change the exiting names to have new numbers...but that's not creative it it?

Naming it after musicians is clever...but if you're really going to do that you should use universally recognizable artists like miles davis, the beatles, velvet underground, the clash, dylan, etc.

The more guitars, the higher the forum rank... might swap them for something better if find anything...

Not averse to changing all of the names, but selecting a rank order of musicians could be contentious 😉 and we're sort of using colours at the moment.

Nibbles suggestion was good, but I like the idea of relating the names more directly with the actual music (in some sort of way.)

High fidelity's the book. Great movie, too. Look for albums in the background.

New member rank names

At the moment member rank names on the forums are based on record sales certification names - silver, gold, platinum and diamond ( (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_recording_sales_certifications) with each rank name calculated using a member's post-count.

However, we now need to add three or four new rank names for users with more than 50 posts:

Post count: 100
Member rank: TBA

Post count: 250
Member rank: TBA

Post count: 500
Member rank: TBA

Post count: 1000
Member rank: TBA

Anyone able to suggest any additional names to fit with the theme of the site? Double/triple diamond seemed a bit dull...
