    Well, we've decided to give you guys User Ranks! Woohoo!! Ya-...aayy..*silence*...... What's a user rank you ask? It's basically like your usertitle (the text under your username), only it'll be given to you by default by the forum. The few things about this that are different are that 1) You can only attain the custom user titles as a premium (meaning normal members won't be able to use custom anymore), and 2) the new ranks will affect normal members only. However, ranks will be set for default to the premiums if they choose not to edit their user titles (which will still be open to customize in the user control panel).

    So what we're going to do is, ask you guys to come up with some awesome Kingdom Hearts related user ranks. Here are the post counts that affect your rank:

    An example of an entry to this would be:

    You can completely make them up as long as they're all KH-based. The entries should be sent to either myself or another admin. For the sake of entry purposes I'd forward it to multiple administrators. Make sure the title says "Rank Application" or something along those lines.

    The winner will receive a hefty amount of rep from the staff as a reward, as well as their idea's for ranks being used on the forum!

    On a side note: Please don't post your idea's/entries for the ranks in this thread. Someone could steal them. However, if anyone is caught ripping someone else's rank entries, the member will suffer the consequences (D: I sound evil xD).

    The due date is September 6th. That's about a week and a half to get your submissions in!

    Good luck everyone! This thread will be kept open for any questions you guys might have regarding this.

    Darkwatch edit: All entries are in. Thanks everyone for helping out! Sorry if you didn't get to enter yours, too. I'm sure we'll have something next time for you guys to participate in later, though. We'll have our decision up within 24 hours so sit tight!

    We have chosen a winner! Zandyne! Here's her titles--

    What's the point if everyone can have their own usernames anyway?

    EDIT: Oh, ignore my lack of the brain cell that missed sentence 3.

    DUDE.

    Another reason to be prem right now >_>

    This is a bad idea, to be honest. But whatever, I'll PM you an entry. Rep's always good.

    I hate this idea. It reminds me of school uniforms. No self expression.

    well....i guess this makes it pay more to be premium tho i think ppl would complain that you're getting rid of their ability to make custom titles w/o being premium

    I agree. The usertitle at present is something that can be personalised to the users choice. This is more like a military rank and I'm definitely a civilian. Not everyone is obsessed with rank and one up-manship. I think Element-Chan is right. Self Expression is important.

    Well, this is more of a Kingdom Hearts community, not really Final Fantasy.

    I like the personal username thingie, unless you want to put the ranking and our own personal thingie. Sorry if this sounds confusing, I'm bad at expressing my thoughts at times. xD

    Does having user ranks mean that we cant have our own usertitle? Or is it possible to have both.

    It doesn't affect premiums, cause that is one of the special things only they will get. But i think there will be a user title for premiums.

    I say 1000 should be enigmatic man.
