I've been on these forums for about a month mabey a little more, and I don't understand how the rating system works. It appears that you start as a 'Lurker' then get promoted to Newbie :smile:
How do you move up the ranks? Is it by time you've been a member, or how much you write...etc?? And what does it mean? Are they just ranks for fun, or do you benefit any from being higher up? Just a quick side note...Thanks in advance.

Well you begin with a Lurker, then after 10(I think) posts you move up to a Newbie, after 50 posts you become Maxima Enthusiast, at 100 posts Maxima Fanatic, at 300 posts Maximaniac, at 700(i think ) you become Maxima Obsessed.
Then there is something else, can't recall now, something about u needing non-maxima friends

Lurker 0-14 posts,
Newbie 15 posts,
Maxima enthusiast 50 posts,
Maxima Fanatic 100 posts,
Maxamaniac 300 posts,
Maxima obsessed 750 posts,
Maxaholic{me} 1000 posts,
After that its scetchy and I have not figured out a ordor but needs maxima friends takes a lot of posts.

Alright, when you say "POSTS" is that considered 'starting your own thread' or just responding to what people said? And if you respond 10 times in one thread is that only considered 1 'post' or 10? Sorry for the stupid questions, just trying to figure this stuff out.

"Alright, when you say "POSTS" is that considered 'starting your own thread' or just responding to what people said?"

Either one, counts the same.

"And if you respond 10 times in one thread is that only considered 1 'post' or 10?"

If you respond 10 times that counts as 10 posts.
So post away. Just a little info, we do not tolerate spam here

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info.

What's spam??

I believe spam is like mass advertising, or mass posting the same phrase or logo or something like that. It is like junk mail that you get in your email for "18 and over girls like it nasty" and sh*t like that. Just people going around posting the same thing in every thread advertising something.

OIC, thanx CustomMax. By the way, you drop your Max yet?

basicaly a useless post.

spam something of topic in a post that shouldn't be there

Hey, I have recieved my ST springs, supposed to drop it 1.3 inches, but I've heard that it actually drops it 1.4-1.6. I just need to buy a set of shocks/struts before I have the springs installed. I want to get them all done at the same time to save on labor. What brand do you reccommend for my springs? And what kind do you have on yours?

when you're above 3000, or around there, (i searched members), you're considered:

Needs non-Maxima Friends

as your status.

When you're above 4000(!) then you're considered:

Maxima Brainwashed.

hehe, cool names
