Title: Ranking
Post by: Roadgeekteen on April 22, 2017, 12:24:50 PM
I have seen ranks next to peoples names, like interstate, turnpike. How many posts do you need to get to each rank?

By contributing to the site.

(In ways such as creating those little graphics, etc.)

Word of advice, don't just spam posts to go up in ranks.  We like to see substance that contributes to a thread, especially if you're going to 'revive' an ancient thread that hasn't seen any new posts in over 2 years (like if a construction project that had been idle for ages gets new life, that's a perfectly acceptable reason to revive an ancient thread).

The reason I have done it is because I have lurked for a while before posting, so there are many threads I have wanted to post in but I did not.
