Many other forums, in addition to the login name used, also assign ranks/ nicknames to people based on the number of posts that they have made and list that under their name in their posts. I think it would be great to see something like that here. Perhaps nicknames having to do with coaster types, the circuit, or something like that.
<BR>
<BR>I'm horrible on the creative end, so I don't want to put up suggestions for names, but possible rank levels could be:
<BR>
<BR>0-25 posts
<BR>26-50
<BR>51-100
<BR>101-250
<BR>251-500
<BR>501-750
<BR>751-1000
<BR>etc.
<BR>
<BR>So is this a possibility for the future?

I know this board can handle it.
<BR>
<BR>I would propose:
<BR>
<BR>0-25: GP (General Public)
<BR>25-100: Season Pass Holder
<BR>100-250: Ride Op
<BR>250-500: VP
<BR>500+: Park President

Great. There is a space for an Image as well. We are crazed here but if someone wants to help create them it would be fun.
<BR>
<BR>I'll try to have this done this weekend.

If other boards are an indication, you'll want more rankings than that. One I'm on has 15 levels on it!
<BR>
<BR>I would suggest around 10 is a good number.
<BR>
<BR>Maybe, branching off Tyler's suggestion, we could do:
<BR>
<BR>0-25- Rookie/ First time visitor
<BR>26-50 General Public
<BR>51-100 Regular Visitor
<BR>101-250 Season Pass Holder
<BR>250-500 Park Veteran
<BR>501- 750 Park Employee/ Ride Op
<BR>751- 1000 Park Owner
<BR>1001- Corporate President
<BR>
<BR>Others to consider might include Ride Supervisor, General Manager, Park Developer, and other similar ones.
<BR>
<BR>Or we could add more titles at the upper reaches when people actually get close to reaching them.

I'm curious, what's the symbol and name for somebody on this forum who has more than 500 posts? Nobody has reached it yet, and I'd like to konw.

<BR>One suggestion: In the caption for the "Manager" card, you have the word "Manger." A manger is a feed trough for animals. You may want to change that to "Manager."

Look again. It's right and always has been.
<BR>

It's spelled right on the cards. The Admin must have spelled it wrong in the FAQ.

<BR>I looked again. It's always been right on the card itself, but it's always been wrong in the "Rank Title" column of the table, and on the caption that appears above the card.
<BR>
<BR>In both places, it is spelled "Manger," when it should be "Manager," as it says on the card itself.
<BR>
<BR>I humbly thank you for this opportunity to contribute.

There still are a lot of "Mangers" running around in the forum topic areas.

Are the track portions for the Mega and Ultra poster from any specific coaster? I recognize the MF track, what is the Hyper track from? or is it just generic?

Kraken is pretty much correct. For the Jr coaster I wasn't really picking any particular coaster to work from. I just made some really simple track for it. I had to color these tracks with something, so I leaned towards color schemes that people could recognize.

i really think that they should be changede back to the way they were it is much more interesting and creative......
<BR>
<BR>have rollercoaster track unadorned is not very creative...

Also
<BR>
<BR>Mine Train: Gold Rusher(Magic Mountain)
<BR>
<BR>Mega Coaster: Manhatten Express(New York Casino)
<BR>
<BR>Ultra Coaster: Superman The Escape(Magic Mountain)
<BR>
<BR>Corkscrew: Viper, Six Flags magic Mountain(I think)
<BR>

Goldrusher is correct.
<BR>
<BR>The Mega Coaster track is actually Steel Dragon 2000.
<BR>
<BR>The Ultra Coaster track is based on Hypersonic XLC's track style.
<BR>
<BR>The corkscrew isn't based on any coaster really. How many coasters have that style and color of track? I can think of a few off the top of my head.
