Member status?

And as for losing likes/posts, I don't think it happens. You keep your old likes/posts, but you can't gain new ones from the aforementioned sections, like Forum Games and apparently General FTB Chat. I only lost posts because I deleted them. (Which inadvertently got me the Over Powered Eloquence trophy, so I can't complain)

Not true. When forum games were switched to no longer count posts, there were people that went from 1k posts to about 100.

Posts in General FTB Chat don't count anymore?

The actual "General FTB Chat" forum in the "Feed The Beast" section, or the "General Discussion" forum in the "Chat" subsection of the "General" section? Slight but important difference

I'm not sure it would make sense to exempt General FTB Chat, since we do talk on topic here (occasional spambots nonwithstanding). The other one is an anything-goes place. That sounds like the kind of place that might not count for "community rankings".

now if I could only trade in my internet points for actual money, I'd be rich, VERY RICH!!

I'm... actually not sure, nowadays. That used to be a thing more early-on, when there were far less ranks. My memory is hazy so it's entirely possible that I misrepresent things (which is why I avoided using it as an example above), but I think it went something like this: you had "member", "active member", and "well-known member" for directly accessible ranks. Then there were moderators, and I don't remember if Slowpoke and the FTB team even had specific titles at all... it was a community where you knew who Slowpoke was because it was his brainchild and he promoted it.

There was also "new member" . And, for as long as I've been here, which is only a few months short of your time here, Slow has had his own banner. There was also Wiki Team, Global Mods, Forum Mods, Modpack Team, as well as a few others. I believe the Team Member and Mod Dev ones are moderately new, but I could be wrong.

I don't know if they still give out this rank nowadays. It's more of a blanket recognition whereas the trend I'm seeing now is towards specific recognition - more regular titles that are hard to get without tons of likes (which implies high quality posting), developer recognitions, wiki contributor and team position titles and so on.

They do. Gideonseymour and Yusuonoha got them today.

Well technically none of us get paid still

Watchful and SatanicSanta also put in quite a few volunteer hours.

Also made sure forum games don't count.... sorry

I remember when Vike and I told slow about that, and he said that we should go on a walk every morning, to debate whether or not it matters if internet points are being handed out willy nilly

now we need animated avatars.

Technically those exist, but you an only view the animation on profile pages. Sigarii has one.

That would be incredibly distracting when skimming the page.

Yeah whats up with all this animation things going on all over webpages these last years? Just like facebook automatically playing videos in your feed. Blegh

I want to suggest that the different ranks and how to get them are put up as a pinned thread so that users like myself can access it whenever we want. It would also be easier to make changes to the member system while letting other people know about it.

EDIT: Also the trophy system could also be posted in that thread.
