Former Ranks

[Wee Man]

don't know if its possible to implement on these forums but why not have people's rank go up based on activity, the bitcoin forum has a system where you can get i believe up to 14 points every 2 weeks for posting on average once a day during that period and eventually you get new member titles(noob, junior, member, hero, legendary) , the ranks don't give any extra powers but people care about them a lot on there, also you should have donator badges to help pay for tournament prizes which would bring a ton of activity, people love having thiny things next to their name even if they don't do anything

There is a group promotion system but it's tied completely to post count I believe, personally I think that'd be a nice way to use the Exclusive group from the old boards, set it to X amount of posts required. As W13 mentioned diluting the member group isn't what we want to do right now.
