Rene, I was thinking it might be interesting to assign "rank" to a member of the forum, based on the number of postings he or she has made over the years.  This is something that is commonly done in military forums and it is fun to watch the membership gain rank as they participate.For a RR forum such as this new members would begin their "careers" as the lowest paid "Gandy-Dancer" on the RR.  Slowly, by participation in the forum, they would gain rank, or promotions, from one position to the next until they reach the top, say, Secretary, Department of Transportion (Normally reserved for the forum moderator) Has this every been explored?  I think it would add a little additional interest to the forum membership and it would also encourage participation. Just think of all the positions there are on a RR and you have some feel for the number of titles that could be set up and awarded to members.  Eash position would have a range assigned to it that coresponds with the number of postings a person has made.  If Gandy-dancer is the lowest then to move up to the next level, what ever that may be, would require X amount of postings in the forum.RR Rank is not entended to reflect on ones knowledge of the hobby, although it could, but rather to simply serve as an indicator of that particular member's envolvement in the forum.Anyway just an idea.  Any comments?
